I hear that. Lately I find myself saying, "How the heck did I get THAT up on that shelf?? I don't think I could do that now!".

You work fast. Looks great!!

I started today trying to make a door installation cradle to mount on a floor jack. I was struggling to round up materials I was happy with. I was getting depressed and not making any progress so I shifted directions. I realized I could lower my body panel stands low enough to use that to...

Here are the final pics:

Tackled something new that I’ve never done before - taking care of some of the orange peel on the doors that I painted a couple months ago. Here are the before pics. First step was hand sanding with 1500 grit. I didn’t 100% sand the orange peel out for a couple reasons: 1. Because I didn’t...

I forgot to post last weekend, so I’ll start there and continue into this week. The plugs for the Dorman actuator harness and the factory harness didn’t match up. I found someone else online that had the same issue. So I took the harnesses apart and integrated them into one factory-style...

I am using that kit. That’s an interesting idea.

I decided I was going to struggle more installing the wiring after the fuel lines than I would doing it vice-versa, so I tackled that next. It wasn’t too bad figuring out how it was supposed to be run. I have it all hooked up as much as I can right now with the exception of the 4wd part of it -...

Lookin’ good!!

This is better.

Yup, that’s it.

I’m pretty sure I got it from The Stop Shop, but I’m not seeing it listed on its own. I bought it a couple years ago. https://www.thestopshop.com/search?q=stainless+armor

I just looked at this again and realized the proportioning valve is higher than the reservoir. I’m going to have to lower that.

Got a few things done this weekend. First I gathered up all the metal bits for the front clip besides the inner fenders (because those have already been blasted and painted) and wire wheeled all of the rust and loose paint off. Then they got degreased and left to dry overnight. The next day...

Yup, DM-V2s.

I’ve been looking for some different 20” wheels to use in the winter that would clear the larger brakes. I wasn’t finding any clear information on what would definitely fit that I was willing to spend money on…..and I wasn’t really willing to guinea pig a bunch of wheels either. I got lucky...

Lots of cleaning, painting and installing parts this weekend. Dad sandblasted the exhaust manifolds, but unfortunately uncovered a large crack in the driver side one, so he purchased a new Dorman manifold for that side. I painted both of them with Design Engineering silicone exhaust paint. The...

A couple small things done since the last post. I got the lower intake installed and was going to install the new distributor, but then remembered we were going to prime the oil system so I changed gears….err rather ground gears. I ground the teeth off of the distributor gear on the old...

Got the engine, trans and transfer case installed today. My dad and brother came over so the 3 of us could do it together, since the 3 of us together had taken the engine and trans out of his truck earlier this year. We decided to get ambitious and preassemble and install the engine, trans and...
