Wait until your arms look like mine lol

 

Lol I can. Just felt good to finally get it out and beat on it a bit.

Oh and I need to lock or weld the rear too.
Did well with just the front, but life could have been a little easier with the rear locked too.

 

Total damage from first trip (only 3 hours worth o wheeling)

Finished off driver u joint - was tight, now loose and pops/clicks
Bent LCA skid
Scratches/gouges in, LCAs X member, sliders, both pigs, and a few on rear tubes.
Popped gas tank.

Good weekend. To-do list before next "trip"

U joints in all shafts
Straighten bent crap and re-plate
Pull both bumpers, clean, and bedline
Fuel cell, or new tank and relocate.

She will be sitting not doing much for a few weeks now. As who knows how much I'm going to spend in court cost and fines.

 

Started some bedlining this morning.

 

Got bored. This happened. Didn't feel like ripping the front axle apart tonight.














Ghetto switch panel...going to redo it.
And light are just zipped tied up...
I see them blinding me as I'm trying to wheel.

 

Tore the valve cover off, intake and exhaust manifolds.

Doing the 99+ intake swap with 99+ injectors need to get a mechanical gauge make sure I'm pushing 49psi at the rail.

Decided upon this mod as I had to remove the intake to replace exhaust manifold.

Now debating if I want to pull the head and port&polish it while I already have it apart...also good amount of carbon build up in there.

Read a lot about people seeing no gain, and sometimes loss with the 99+ intake.

I think il see some gains, already have after market exhaust, plan on doing new intake with install, proper fuel pressure, and if I port and polish.

 

Started this

 

Swear I updated after I finished valve cover...but here's a snap of how that turned out

Got bored, drank a few beers and rigged up this in cab intake.







Also picked up some LED reverse lights...seem pretty legit. Now to clean my NSS so they actually work every time...

 

Looks good. It is nice to be able to see in reverse again.

 

Thanks. And oh I bet! Trying to get her DDable over winter. Thinking about selling my WK in the spring, save $$ all summer then buy my powerstroke. Plus my insurance is about to go up...Lol and plpd is much cheaper then full coverage.

 

Nice build.

 

Thanks!

 

Current situation. U joints and unit bearings getting updated.



Also debating if I want to start on this...

 

Well after 400 more $ into this stupid turdy the front end is back together.

Timken hubs and Spicer u joints, and cheapo rotors.




Now to figure out this gas leak issue....really hoping its just a pinched/cracked vent line :fingers crossed: Wheeling trip next weekend...might try to get out to Drummond island Saturday but will be at rocks and valleys Sunday.
