That looks like Todd and I about to hit the trails at Hardrock.

Lee: What are we gonna break today, Todd?

Todd: I dunno, Lee; probably something expensive.

Lee: Let's ride!

 

Fine, make a PVC snorkel then

 

yup.

 

Nice build. Do you have any pics of how your rear bumper sits with your rear shackle? (proximity) I'm gathering info on 63 swaps with archive garage shackle flips and aftermarket/custom rear bumpers. A little birdie lead me to your build page.

 

There but for the grace of god go I. One wonders though, why you drove into a pond?

just followed the tracks....
funny thing is just 4' over I would have made it across.

 

Haha, I here ya, Brah, if I had just moved over out of my own ruts last weekend I would have been spared this...



Wasn't in a good state of mind at the time and was on my way to meet up with some fellow TW guys. I like to leave the pavement as soon as possible, so I came up on this hole in the trail and drove into it in 2WD and got bogged down. I figured well, shit, I threw it in 4WD and backed all the way out of the hole. Then my poor state of mind kicked in and caused an intelligence failure. Experience told me I should just go around it until I had backup with me, but I stupidly just drove right back into the hole thinking 4WD would pull me through...not. So after sitting in this hole with the truck idling for 20 minutes or so waiting on help to arrive via relay from my cell that was barely getting any signal, I ended up with a leaking radiator from the fan hitting it, a passenger side floorboard full of water, and I had to pull my carpet out which is now hanging like the Sword of Damocles from my carport until I decide if I want to put it back in or not. Luckily my intake was high and dry.

Edit: Wouldn't have got the epic Captain Morgan pic though, haha.

 

Honestly it’s not that tight if you have a custom bumper or one of the vendors. I did his swap when he had the allpro bumper.

 

For some reason I haven't been in here since March or so lol. Well engine that was swapped in most likely has rod knock so gonna get that looked at tomorrow morning. Nothing really new added since the swap. Sorry I missed some post in here!
