Work in Progress

these are the pics from when I bought it. I will update with new pics with work that is in progress right now.

going to get some pics tonight. working on the intake gasket and found that 3 of the bolts that hold the upper intake on are striped out. Picked up a intake from the local salvage place and hope to have things back together soon.

I have also set up with the salvage yard to pick up a 4.3 block which I plan to build up a bit for the truck. I want to mod it but still keep it as practical as possible.

needs some exhaust work and will need to clean up those brake lines. Plan to get rid of the orange also. Got a lot planned for this big boy but all in due time.

added some new pics. got one wheel almost ready for paint while I wait on some parts to come in. will do the finish sanding and then should be almost ready for paint. pulled the bed liner out because to me they do more damage than help. Not sure if I will have the spray bed liner put in or just try one of the DIY kits. Almost ready to get this intake put back in my new spider fuel injector should be here today and hopefully have this thing back running for the weekend.

Figured out the photo deal so all new pics should upload correctly from here on out.

Got the other front rim primer and ready for paint last night. Hope to get the intake back on tonight and running.

Where did you get that front bumper?!

It was on he truck when I bought it. I have found some similar when you do a google search for rock crawler bumper. From what I was told it was for a Jeep and the guy did some custom work on it. Added a pic of one that is pretty close to it. Notch Automotive is the website and the pic is actually a rear bumper. Tyger Auto has one that might be it. http://www.tygerauto.com/product-category/jeep-parts/

Got it up and running over the weekend. forgot to take a pic of the new Spider injector but here is pic of what the new SCPI to MFI looks like (not my PIC). The new fuel pressure regulator comes with it also. Just noticed it looks like I have a rear brake caliper leaking now. Hoping to get tires tis coming up weekend then start looking into the bed liner options. I also have 2 more wheels to prep yet.
