'86 Jimmy 4in Lift, 40’s, tons, 8.1 Swap- 700r4 said PNNNNN

This is not a dedicated trail rig, but does trailer to the destination usually. I am currently in the planning phase of doing a 52/56" spring swap, and getting back to being more road worthy.
Small update, not a lot of pictures.

Life has been crazy the last 2 weeks. With home and work I have very little down time.

The Jimmy has about 2hrs run time on some decent stop/go driving. Slowly getting better and better as it self tunes. The truck is all wrapped up and ready for BMR this weekend. Did have a small hiccup this morning as I broke my shift cable. Not sure how, but got it replaced and loaded the truck up to head down Thursday.

Still have some things I wish I could have got done. But the list never ends anyways.

I'll throw some pictures up here from BMR when I get back then it's going on the back burner till my SAS is done on my tow rig.
 
Should be fun. I do want to wheel there some time while there's not a large event or gathering. I've heard it can be a lot more fun.
 
So it's almost a week later, but work and after hours at home have been crazy.

BMR 2016 was a success again. Lots of fun and lots of friends. Truck did pretty good for the most part. Could use a little more tuning time, but did much better than last year. I manage to break a lower shock mount on the left rear, letting my shock swing around for a bit.

Only other issue happened Saturday night. My toggle switch for my e-fans shorted out in the on position. Bad part was, they weren't on. Still have yet to mess with it, but it appears I need a larger relay for the fans.

Our night was cut short on Saturday due to my now cooling issue, and my brother's run-in with the law(forgot to put his new sticker on his tag). But we still had tons of fun.

On to the what few pictures we have. Then I will attempt to load a couple small videos.

My brother's suburban we finished up the morning we headed down to BMR.

Oh, and plenty of body damage was had. That will follow shortly with the damage report.
 
I didn't realize you had that X brace behind the front seats, what do you do about rear seat access?

It's a jungle gym for the kids.


Looks good Greg. What amp relay are you running? I run a pair of 30's with the windstars
 
I laugh as I watch people climb back there lol

It's really not crazy hard to get back there. I have no center console.

My buddies is like that, I can't get through there so I climb up over the cage when the top is off.
