DB_1's re re re...aww heck, i'm re-doing my set-up

[DB_1]

That might help in a couple areas but the real cure is just a cut-off wheel away:
Anything else that the tires were rubbing on can easily be relocated.

Small update...got my hands a better camera so now I can post up pics again.

Here's a list of mods i've been working on with pics in no particular order:

* T-case boot bezel
* Inner fender well hackage, vacuum ball yet again had to be relocated back on the inner fender.
* Vacuum ball bracket found a new home being used to hold the radiator overflow canister
* Mounted bump stops
* Mounted front license plate with some 67 cent conduit hangers from Home Depot

Looks good Dave, what did you do with your overflow, and wiper tank?

Oops, forgot to add the rad. overflow tank pic I'll add it in a sec.

Basicly I cut off the windshield fluid res. off of the overflow tank since I really don't have any room under the hood for it. I've been meaning to replace it with a smaller one maybe from an import car or something but you know how that goes.

Overflow tank is now in the area where the battery was, battery tray is now completely cut out.

EDIT: Added pic to my above post

Nice! I thought about cutting mine in half too. When ever I smog my truck and have to put the factory air box on I have to take the wiper/overflow box out temporarly

I headed over to Berdoo Canyon rd. today to see if my mods will work out or not. Berdoo Canyon rd. used to be a paved road from Indio to Joshua Tree and now it's mostly a dirt trail.

So I found some rocks to climb up on and check things out and it looks like the tires clear the inner fenders but the tires rub on the C/O's pretty good. I may have to get wheel spacers after all unless I can tilt the C/O's in some more.
Looks like the bumpstops are useless where they are mounted so they'll either have to be lowered a couple inches or make some raised landing pads.

Well there ya go: Probably as good as any pics i got.

Small update on my truck... As most of you know I rolled my rig last summer so even though it runs and is mechanically sound, it's far from being street legal in it's current condition. I've mostly just been removing and trashing stuff that I won't be re-using like the bed and front fenders.
The major thing is getting the cab somewhat back into a shape where I can stuff a cage in. So far i've been able to get the majority of the roof back into place but it still needs some fine tuning.
Until I get back to working steady it will be awhile before I can hit the trails again:thumbdwn:
