Now to set about fixing it! The holes are aimed up, no wonder the driver was coming back a little dippy at times!

well this is the result of replacing the rear cat....never knew that hole existed

brnbomr · 04-19-2012, 01:05 AM

looks real nice so far. so whats the plan for this thing... going to be and off roader or a DD?

*zukman* · 04-19-2012, 03:17 PM

As it stands for now this will become a DD and a hunting rig, as well as towed behind the motor home for a little off road adventuring.

*zukman* · 04-29-2012, 08:19 PM

put some covers on the front seats to protect them inside is done for now

shantana28 · 05-26-2012, 10:08 PM

wat is that black shiny thing call axle cover?

*dkchrist* · 05-27-2012, 12:53 PM

Very nice glad to see the truck looking good! That front would look awesome with a winch!

*zukman* · 05-27-2012, 02:34 PM

the front bumper is not currently configured to house a winch... but that will change soon.

*zukman* · 05-27-2012, 06:32 PM

compresion chek DONE! all good!! no to button him back up.
Spark plugs should have been sent to the great JY in the sky about 50,000 miles ago! cannot believe how bad they were, but new wires and plugs, a new radiator, ac condenser, some new atf in the tranny (it looked like mud!) and he'll be a refreshed being again. Really looking forward to driving it.

Still have more to do: change out the u-joints, fix the brakes (I like stopping when I want to stop) and then it off to get smoged!
