POS Taco

Never mind beer, it’s a phone break

 

And down she went! Low enough to swap out pipestands for jackstands.

 

And she’s on the frame! Pretty stoked! By 6:30pm Sunday night, the cab was set and bolted down.

 

And got after hooking up fuel lines, electrical, etc. Should be running by the weekend. And had to throw the krawlers back. Just cause.

 

Looking good, looks like summer has arrived there.

 

Finally!! I need to get this thing done! Wheeling time is here!!

 

Wow, just read through all 9 pages of this. Pretty incredible amount of work. Nice job.

 

So, supercharger is coming off. Bearing issues. I’ll get a rebuild kit coming, but for now, it’s going back to n/a. This will really give me a good seat of the pants check on the difference that 4.88’s make!

 

New lower ball joints and outer tie rod ends are installed and a rough alignment done. Tonight, pull supercharger off. Then it’s into tray back fabrication.

 

Thanks! I'd say it's a labour of love, except I really want to burn this thing down sometimes!!

 

She runs!!

 

She runs, and needs the brakes bled a lot better!!

 

Flex like potato!!

 

Got the rear winch set up started last night. I’m going to build a battery box in the floor of the box, and mount my second battery in there. I also have a mean green alternator on the way, to ensure I have enough of da joose to power it all.

 

Rear loggers box. I’m going to sink a box into the bottom, just behind the axle, and set my second battery in there. The Viair set up will go in the passenger side tool box.

 

4wd trans/tcase

 

2wd trans connections.

 

@BartMaster1234 here’s what I’m dealing with.

 

Transfer case plugs.

 

90% of those plugs are useless. They’re 4WD position sensors that tell the 4WD computer if you’re in 4HI, 4LO, or Neutral. Their only purpose is to prevent you from activating the RR DIFF LOCK in any mode except 4LO, and also to light up the light on the cluster.

The 3 pin connector is your VSS, and the 45 degree angle one is a redundant temperature sensor.
