Oh and all of the flat black spots on my truck are where I pulled out all the dents in the panels. I'm gonna pull the a/c stuff out tomorrow since my new belt just showed up for non a/c.

I read it in your sas thread a while ago and must have skipped over it or it wasn't there, but could you post up the link to where you bought your lower coil cup/retainers?

 

[bmxking5]

I don't remember where I bought them, but I know it was from a guy that fabbed them up and I bought his last set.

Okay got some more pics. Picked up 2 fenders, 2 kick panels, 2 headlight bezels, and a 2wd dash air vent (to replace 4x4 switch when I get a manual t-case) for $75 at pull a part. Pulled out the a/c compressor, accumulator, a/c lines. Still gotta remove the evaporator and the condenser (which are still for sale if anyone needs one). Got the fenders on and started bondo-ing the rear quarter panels. Also ordered one of my Smittybilt XRC seat for mock up when doing the cage since I sold the leather ones last weekend. Doors are also off and I'm probably not putting them back on.

Oh, and the painter that I work with has some nice harnesses (can't remember the brand now) that I'm getting for $100. They've got the round twist seat belt disconnect as opposed to the regular latch style so it's a pretty good deal.

I have to ask.....



How do you like the tires....

 

[bmxking5]

I really like them so far. Only had a few runs with them til I rolled it but they were great then. And when I bought them I was driving it on the street all the time. Seem to be holding up really well and ride awesome

Ok so i need a cage LOL jk


Thats good news. I have a new set sitting in the garage just waiting on rims..

 

[bmxking5]

how much for the evaporator?

$35 + shipping. Its like $125 new on some parts site I saw.

Did some more body work on it the other night. The passenger smittybilt seat will be here on Tuesday and I got a new solid diff cover for $55 for the front 44. Pics to come soon.

Nice work, wish I had a garage like that. Is it air-conditioned? Can't wait to see the end product.

Thanks, no we don't have A/c, just a bunch of fans which is usually okay. A/C would be pretty expensive, it's a 45k sq. foot warehouse!!!

sucks ur stuff got jacked! Glad everyone ok, cage will be cool. What kinda material did you roll on Sand, pea gravel ,dirt?

 

[bmxking5]

I rolled it on dirt.

Got both my seats now, new diff cover, and I'm getting the harnesses and headunit next week. Also gonna get a piece of 5x3x1/4 rectangular tubing that I will be using as the new rear frame crossmember and will attach my bumper to....
