and then theres the optional stuff...

fully box the frame
belly skid
rock sliders

front bumper
hula girl on the dash.
 
Sounds like I'll be racing you on this one. I buy the rest of the metal for my frame soon and a doubler has entered the picture, because, well, I gotta build new driveshafts anyways...

Will it happen? I'll make that call when I have a few weeks left :laugh2:

some how make 37s fit - they will be mounted on wheels i hope by then
beef up steering - if the the donts not in then XXXX it
get tow rig - Done
get trailer - need to find one
registar - newlly added
 
well this seems to have changed...

chop up my frame

install front shock towers ten minutes
install front shocks ten minutes
brake hoses ten minutes
chop up my frame
put my frame back together half a day
chop up my bed
put my bed back together other half of that day going into night
take apart beadlocks and clean em up with new hardware ill do this in my spare time
finish 14 bolt couple hours
install 14 bolt couple hours including figuring out the pinion angle
figure out rear shocks shock hoops, an hour.
install all the fuel injection shit, including cell and whatnot. a good weekend.
figure out rear leafs, make new mounts. couple hours
new brakelines just gonna do the rear as the front is newish, half hour.

and then theres the optional stuff...

fully box the frame
belly skid
rock sliders
traction bar
front bumper
hula girl on the dash.


my goal is to have it "wheelable" by memorial day weekend. i need one uninturupted weekend to finish the frame chop and rear suspension shit, and another for the fuel injection, the rest is gravy.

i think the biggest pain in the balls will be chopping up the bed and getting it to fit again.

I added something to my list today, get a new tire or two (preferably two) since I slashed the crap out of one and my spare doesn't match.

Either that or go all out and aim to have 35s/37s on it by NACFest plus the axles, frame, etc. Not gonna happen...

itll be a good shakedown for both of us, i still havent done any real wheeling yet.
 
Same here, i still need to get in a complete run
 
I see a lot of people that need to add "preregister" to their to-do lists.

C'mon folks! Less than 3 weeks remaining.
 
- DONE Bend up harness bar and X brace for cage, finish weld and paint it (hopefully this weekend)
- Finish building 440
- DONE (surprisingly wasn't that bad haha) Get 440 to fit in engine bay :laugh:
- DONE - Build motor mounts
- DONE - Modify/ build crossmember, transmission mount, NP205 rear mount
- DONE - Redo traction bar crossmember mount (move to passenger side)
- FRONT DONE - Build new driveshafts
- DONE - Mount radiator, plumb cooling
- DONE - Build exhaust
- T-case shifters
- Center console and transmission tunnel
- Slave cylinder mounting/routing
- New dash and gauges
- Megasquirt and TBI
- Clean up wiring harness
- 241/205 DONE - Seal up/paint NP241/NP205/NV4500

Probably giving up on the t-case shifters and a nice dash for now. Just too much to do. I'll end up with just oil pressure/water temp hanging somewhere if I plan to make NACfest at all.

Belly Pan getting materials sunday
Cage aint gonna happen
Fuel Cell pickups ill just keep it full

Instead of being gay and just deleting shit that I've done so everyone has to go back to see what I did, I put DONE in front of each thing I've finished.
 
instead of being gay like these guys I just fix what I need to make my truck drive and then drive it

and buy a bunch of things I don't need and will never install

I made money delivering parts with it yesterday and drove it today too
