Well replaced my vacum lines today and painted my Riddler cover today. My son touched it up a bit. We will be installing it in the morning.

Weel finished the install of the cover. It was very easy. No problems with the cover at all. Went and picked up some stainless steel allen bolts instead of what was sent with the cover.
My son preping the diff.
Just have to trim the gasket material.

Looks real nice, clean and capable. This is the direction I would like to go in when I start my build next summer. Thanks for posting!

Well desided to start a new project. The jeep has been over heating so I bought a new radiator. Also desided to put hood louvers in. I made my own because I couldn't find any I liked.Here are a few pictures of the prosses.
The hood before I began.
After finding the center points and drilling the holes.
I was thinking about putting the vents on top and trying to figure out what color I liked.
Took a 1.5 inch hole saw to cut the corners. Wanted them to look clean instead of sharp edges.
The hood after I cut the hole. Just used a metel cutting wheel on my grinder for this.
A look a the vents and the size.
And the aftermath. I desided to go with yellow.
Desided to paint the sliders to match.
The hole thing cost me about $40.00 with stainless steel bolts in the hood, paint metal and molding.

Well made a run to the wrecking yard today. Made out with 2 Ford 8.8's. One out of a 96 ford explorer and the other out of a 97 ford explorer. If I did my research right they are both 31 spline. Not a bad day. Gotta go back and get a few more things...

Sweet setup. I just picked up a C8.25 drum to drum for 50.00!
Id like to have gone with the Fords but I have no idea how setup the axle.. even with a simple swap kit
