Added fuel pressure gauge
Replaced SC belt
Installed vacuum/boost gauge
Replaced one coil pack, All plug wires and plugs

 

no resonator? holy shit...gotta be so fucking loud now..haha

 

Lisa will be complaining more than ever.

 

Oh she heard it already when we meet for a hike over the summer

 

Well been a while since I updated this so here we go
Well two days ago I went on a small road trip on the way back I hit a few deer. On a good note the bumper held up like a champ not a scratch on the front, but the second deer I hit went under the driver side front and spit back out behind the tire and flew up and took out my door and my 1/4 panel


At first I was really thinking it wasn't fixable and my build is over, but after wiping my tears away and talking to a fellow wheeler, I found a solution. So after a little work the build will continue.

Donor cab with straight 1/4 panel


And replacement door


Got some work ahead of me but it could be worse

 

what are you going to cut it our and patch it?

 

Gonna cut my 1/4 panel out and weld that other one in, if you look at your truck there pinch welds in the door frame and hehind the cab where they welded the 1/4 panel in from the factory, so I'll have to take my side Andy back window out in order to do it right

 

Not that simple actually. The cab splits in two if you want. But the rear panel will still be a bitch to fix. Won't be cheap and the body will suck to weld. Then paint. Good luck man!

 

My pax side looks like that from wheeling, just leave it since it will get dented up again anyway. Unless you are very skilled at body work, it may actually look worse after your attempt at fixing it.

 

It won't be that bad and my cousin owns a custom shop in Missoula and already said he would paint that spot and door for 300.

I got a wheeler so I'll fix it, just wait and see

 

Damn glad to see your getting it fixed Tony, what other wheeler do you have? I thought you sold that old yota?

 

You thought wrong
