Here's where we're at now, definitely needs a wash after winter:
Let's see.
Next up on my ever expanding to do list, in no particular order:
Waiting on a fuel tank relocation kit to come in. They're sold out everywhere.Run fuel line to back of truck.Move fan relay and mount battery tray and battery.Add ground strapsBodywork and paint fenders. I have a replacement set that aren't too bad. They aren't the wide radius like I want, but apparently the small radius did come on some factory versions of my truck so I'm somewhat factory looking.- Bodywork and paint rock guard and the piece that goes just under the hood and above the grille.
- Install all the above.
Wire up the headlights and front turn signals.
Just waiting on the weather for the stone guard. I need to do a little body work on it but not much of it actually shows, so I'm not too concerned.
I still need to fab up a trans tunnel cover, but that's moved further back on the list.
I've moved onto chasing leaks in the transfer case and the transmission. I had a trans fluid leak between the t-case adapter and trans. The t-case leaked everywhere possible. I have a seal and gasket kit for that already, but I lost a needle bearing or it was already missing during disassembly, so I'm trying to locate one now. I also need to locate a new gear because one is incredibly worn.
Once I'm done with that I'm replacing pinion seals in the front and rear axle I'll probably give the bed a once over. I might replace it, I might see if I can get away with a wood floor, or I might try to find one. I might just give it a spray with the new blue color just to make it match a bit better. I would like to be able to drive it this summer.
I still need to fix my pinion angle in the front, it's pretty bad. I managed to find a new set of springs for the front, and I installed them last fall. I think I'm going to shim the springs for now. I'm not confident enough in my welding to cut them off and reposition them.
That's all for now. I'll edit this post if I need to add anything else.
