Xeek's '91

[Xeek]

damnit! well i love purple, but i rather not have my truck called barney the purple dinosaur lol
other then that i was thinking of limon (lemon/lime) mix

 

[Xeek]

glad i saved the psd. heres a couple more previews. this blue one looks damn nice

 

[Brandon96]

Dang.. you are good at PhotoShop..

I do like that blue though

 

[Xeek]

yea, im really liking the idea of a lighter blue, wont be very unique being they even had a stock color similar. but i like it
ld50 has the stock blue like that

this would prob be the color im looking for in the blue
medium quasar blue metallic

im just tryin to figure out my color now, so i can paint the engine bay and all the pulleys to start with

 

[Xeek]

i got 2 free 33x14.50r15 tires. dont really know what to do with them and theyre almost dead. they measure around 32"(sewing tape measure held best i could)

 

[Slowlyvverot]

spares. or plant flowers in them

 

[fangotango306]

hey xeek. do you still have your old tcase motor laying around? i need a junk one. pm me if you do.

 

[Xeek]

cant remember if i got rid of it or not, garage is a mess so i doubt id find it right now if i do.


anyway. pick-n-pull trip. drivers light since mine broke, grey ring that goes under TB electronics. overhead console, bracket and wiring from 2nd gen. where on the grille is the temp sensor? i didnt want spend to much time cause it was raining.
not pictured: 1 V washer for valve covers

 

[Xeek]

well the console was a dud. would not power on. opened it up and the screen has a big black burn across it. guess im going back for another. i still need to get the sensor anyway

 

[Xeek]

this time i was smart enough to test it first. picked up two of the sensors also, incase i want to have an inside and outside temp.

i wont be installing this yet, to many others things going on. but there is a small chance i might

I've read this thread so many times but always forget to comment.

I think the yellow would be the best, but I like just not having to care about the paint/body so I don't think i'll ever end up painting mine.

Are there any local spots up there, cause I'm getting real sick of wheeling the same spots down here I'm only like 45 mins away.

 

[Xeek]

so after 3 months of the engine overhaul, its finally back in, finished, and fired up at 11.47pm! after fixing the inertia switch(oddly popped out), it fired right up, no problems!

video of its first start up





i still have to wire the fan, check how its doing, get an intake(hitting the belt and hood wont close with it)
then im back to my regularly scheduled mods.

Sounds like a tractor. Needs some exhuast badly. lol

 

[Xeek]

that 40 series of yours sounds good huh! lol

 

[Foxracin]

Is it on there? Sounds like nothing but headers or a y-pipe.

 

[Xeek]

nah its not on there lol. just messin with ya. just a 'you werent lying when you told me it was too loud for you' lol

its an open y-pipe. thats under load also, about 1.6rpm with a broken tps.
im gonna get a better idle/driving vid tomorrow in daylight now that the tps is fixed

everythings fixed in this one, but its just to dark out

 

[Xeek]

its legal again! got everything done and got it inspected.
working out kinks in the engine. lean code after ~9 miles driven, every time i start. idle surges, fan controller issues.

complete change in the paintjob i want. cammo. pic of mickey thompsons truck of what i want

black and most likely gunmetal. matches the black chrome parts i have on my engine

 

[red.EDDIE.4x4]

That'll look damn good!
Can't wait to rebuild my motor now after seeing yours.

 

[Xeek]

used a piece of old exhaust pipe, took out the glasspack i had and made a tailpipe to exit out the side sorta. sounds much better anyway.

junkyard trip. 2 auto-down window modules(still want 6 more, 2 for each window), light for drivers door, drivers door handle trim, another tranny cooler with lines.
not in picture; rear washer nozzle next to 3rd brake light, tip for the locks on rear doors, various bolts and screws
