What are the main goals to accomplish this winter?
Originally it was turbo and bypasses up front, but time and money made me start re thinking my plan.
Now get it road road legal, collect spares, and perfect what I have.
I’ve been collecting spare parts to reduce downtime next season. Currently I have for spares 3 power steering pumps, 1 water pump, 1 third member, 1 trans(needs manual valve body and built yet), 2 snouts, 2 hubs, handfuls of bearings and seals.
I’d like to get some spare axles, another 9” housing, D shaft, Motor, Electric fans, and Trans cooler yet for it.
Other then collecting spares I need to service my 9” with new bearings and seals. My trans now is going back to trans guy to just get a post season check up and stamp of approval for another season.
As far as perfecting the truck and making it road legal. Lower front shock mounts, mount hood, all new coils(want to try some new rates), rebuild my shocks new oil and seals also gonna make a valve adjustment while in there, bedsides, lights, put windshield and back window back in, powder coat suspension and steering, tear truck down to frame and do a weld inspection and want to add more bracing to certain areas and then start rebuilding again and shred 2018. I made 14 dune trips with the truck last season from end of July to Oct 31st. Season is April 1 to oct 31. Gonna see if I can switch those numbers on my trip total next summer.
