Ok, who has new mods to the truck this year?

Mine will be long arms, 4 link rear, Fuel Cell, new Roll Cage and seats. Maybe power brakes.

I replaced the belt tensioner pulley on my OBA.

For this year. Just a couple things. Axles, suspension, power train, roll cage will be new additions. And some body clearancing. I'm just going to borrow tires:-X

Engine is just sitting in it with the transmission bolted up. I'm on a roll.:eek:

Allen the race is on...

And that pig was delicious Bill! Oh, and the work on Allen's bronco was awesome too.

Here's a couple pics of the engine replacement in process. Don't have a decent pic of it finished yet, will get that this weekend.

I just finished my brake lines today. Working on the recentered Hummer rims next. Almost had a score on a roll cage, I was a day late on a great deal :cry:

The roll cage is going to take the most time and money. I'm plugging away at it.

You can ride with me, my new cage will have extra head room for you tall guys in the back! ;D


Allen, we know you can do it. Is there something holding you up that you need help on?

Mine will be long arms, 4 link rear, Fuel Cell, new Roll Cage and seats. Maybe power brakes.

Since last year I already have my rear inboard shocks installed. I plan on getting done at least some of the following -

* Front AWS shock towers (F250 type)
* Painless wiring harness install
* New front clip installed
* Floor shifter and floor emerg brake handle
* Front cage kit
* Hydro boost
* New paint . . . OK now I'm dreaming . . . actually anything after the shock towers is probably dreaming! ;D

LOL..My list included:

*rear anti-wrap link fab and install on the D60
*rebuild steering box and get hydro assist mounted
*replace both mashed front fenders and repaint

So I started it up ...replaced the squealing idler pulley on my York..and declared her fit for Roundup.;D Heck, that list will work for next winter too...:cool:

I put some air in the right front tire - it was flat %) Also instaled a tranny cooler I've had for more than a few months.

As you can see it's been a real productive winter ;D

Well, I have to buy a batt for the trail rig, my daughter says we have to take hers too this year, so I swapped out the Victor for a Weiland Stealth, sent the headers back to Jet Hott for warr, and swapped out the C4 valve body. I doubt I get anything else done.
