I ended up getting pissed and cut everything with the smoke wrench. I.E.- front bolts, main leaf, rear bolts. But i only cut the leafs cause i had another set to put on. I used my snapon 1/2 gun and didnt even phase the bolt. we tried a breaker bar with a pipe and everything. Sometimes you just have to get destructive to be constructive!

 

Finished the T-stat, belt, radiator hoses and t sending unit tonight. Made me worried when the fluid wasn't circulating, but after i shut it off and waited about 10 minutes it sucked all the fluid in so that worked itself out.. Just happy I didn't have to burp the system. From what i understand people say to run 210 for better economy, but i think if i wanted better economy I would be driving a honda. Better to run cool imo.

 

Been a while sense I have updated my slow yet steady build. Started the bed liner paint job today and finally got a replacement antenna. Its a Radio Shack CB antenna with a magnetic base. The antenna un screws from the base and goes right on the stock location of the old radio antenna. Very crisp radio now! Can't wait to get more bed liner to finish the job!

 

can you post some pics of the vacuums.i need a vacuum diagram bad.i got 2 hoses not hooked i just got them blocked off.i just know if i hooked them where there suppose to be it would be a better vehicle.please help if you can.

 

is that a beige bronco ii in the background behind the antenna mount? lol

 

I looked at the pic and thought you replaced the fender... nice work

 

Which vacuum diagram?...

 

That is my brothers buggy. Its a 86 CUCV Chevy Blazer. Its a military scouting vehicle. It has a 6.2 diesel that we put a banks sidewinder turbo on, an sm465, a 205/208 doubler with twinstick conversion, 14 bolt full floater 4:56's chromolys, dana 60 chromolys and 4:56's. detroit in the rear spartan up front. etc... etc... etc.... lol =P

 

So, snapped an axle shaft at browns today, looks like the 8.8 is going in a lot sooner then i thought. Will start swapping tomorrow and post pictures

 

Finished my axle swap and a lot of other projects sense the last time I posted anything. Wanting to get some opinions on my bumper I made and what everyone thinks. I know it needs to sit farther back, im working on it so try to imagine it another two inches back when you look at the pictures. Also finished the roof rack, and a power steering box brace from rustys. Also updated my speakers but thats kind of a dumb project to post about.. lol. Bought a welder so I have been going mad building stuff. Also finished a hack n tap from IRO. Then bought a GC front driveshaft and had it lengthened two inches. And then... I was at work, opened my door and my top door hinge broke off.. The PO had some spackle welds on that thing. Had to get that fixed also. Built a brace around the hinge and paid a shop to weld it because I was afraid of melting thru the sheet metal. What does everyone think of cutting out a slot in my grill and a little bit of the metal right below the grill so I can move my bumper back a lot farther? Shackle relocation brackets and sliders are next. Oh and I forgot, I made a cool toolbox to, lol. I am having some problems with some of my pictures, which pisses me off because its the ones of my bumper. Ill take more asap. Thanks for looking!
