Ok, fixed the problem with the no rear brakes. Someone put some sort of oil into the master cyl resivoir and ruined the proportioning valve. So a new master, and a j/y valve later I now have functional rear brakes.
I also had a driveshaft made, and had to get a transfer case, as I split mine in half. I just had a stock stly driveshaft made for now. I was looking into the hack and taps, and sye's, but found I would have to legthen the front shaft to run on the rear, so, back to stock for now. I will be swapping in the front this saturday. Then hopefully JCR will send me my uni body tie ins, and other misc stuff, and i'll be building a few thigns instead of having to fix the darn thing.

 

Is your steering stabilizer on the wrong bar?

 

No, it's actually not even on the truck anymore. All a stabalizer does is get rid of some slight vibrations, and take some shock out of hitting a curb or the like, so I took it off.

 

Ok, front end was put in saturday. Homemade cowl snorkel, and spaced hood will be done this weekend. I'll take pics this time

 

Okay, I now have a cowl snorkel. First I got some 2" 45's and a couple 90's and a piece of 2" PVC pipe, a stock intake boot, and a 2 1/2 and 2 3/4 hole saw bits. First I got the hole in the air box, under the paper element



Then the cowl

 

I then used a coupler, a short piece of pipe, and a 45 elbow to go into the box

I glued them together tightly, and used glue as a seal around it, I also used silicon for the drain holes.

I blocked up the stock air hole with a rubber pad I had lying around and some more silicon.



I cut off the large end of a stock intake boot and popped it into the hole in the cowl

 

Also I used another 45 to go into the stock intake boot, and a 90 and 2 short pieces of pipe to fit the 90 to the 45's

And now the finished product

Spacing the hood will be next

 

BTW, those "extra" vacuum hoses are from the t-case, rear axle, and transmission vents, for a later project.

 

My first good stuck in it, I will be removing carpet, and the other door soon





This is a pretty steep hill, I took the picture level

 

looks so much better with the new wheels and tires, man!

 

Our mud holes don't have pretty water that that up here in New Hampshire. Bet that was nice warm water too. You stuck that thing good!!!!

 

Yeah I wish I had a locker, I might have gotten out of it, or more stuck, one of the two. I am thinking my next "mod" will be an aussie locker, and a diff cover in the rear.

Edit; Well technically my next mod will be a rear yoke. I got one with U-Bolts, and a new spicer joint

 

Ok, got my yoke on. Here are some pics..

 

Eh, we like our water cold. It is nice blue water though. Problem with it though is the sand is the consistency of thick oatmeal.

 

2 doors FTW
