So got the high lift jack mounted it is bolted in so should not go anywhere.
Fenders are on most of the truck painted.
Have to figure out where to put the water bottle holders at and then make a T bar of sorts for the front seat passenger to hold on too.
Have put 125 miles or so on the the truck in the last few days been running fine except the O2 sensor decides to not work every once and a while. No reason why starts working again as soon as you turn it off then on again.

Keith the Motivator!
Thanks guys, one day maybe I will get a shop then the winter wont slow me down.
Got thinking about the O2 sensor driving it on my way home from church. I wonder if it not far enough into the exhaust stream while it is running at a higher RPM then idle. Under load the sensor is reading 22.5 which is normal air. Running in my driveway it seems to read what it should all the time. Just under load it goes up to 22.5. Until you let off the gas then it reads right.
exhaust leak?
nope, at least not that I can hear

It's close enough to the head to stay hot enough? (Assuming it's not a heated sensor)
I know they need to be installed at the correct angle (so that condensation doesn't wreck it if any settles in the pipe), never heard of them having an issue being far enough into the exhaust stream though.

May look into relocating it cuz that may be an idea.

Am curious, a lot of those sensors are spec'ed for a set distance, and typically get 5/8-3/4" penetration
It's not on the inside of a bend is it?

No it is on a straight piece.
Bit of a update. Got a set of side view mirrors they are for a side by side of some kind got them off Amazon for $29. Work really well.
Have a battery being stupid. Going to charge it for a few days, then replace it with one of my others if it doesn't decide it want to fix its self.

Batteries are still sucking. Going to have to bite the bullet and buy two new ones.
Got one set of rock lights in, maybe going to get the other set in tomorrow more then likely Tuesday. Have a long five day weekend going to go up to Bear Lake with the family. Mounted them under the sliders going to cover them with some expanded metal to keep them safer. They were pretty cheap so not to concerned.
Broke my rear view mirror with my head so got to get a new one.

So update
Seat mounts are built and in
Trans and T-case are raised an inch, closer to a flat bottom.were did you buy those seats? I really like the look
Floor is cut and panel put in with ugly welds but fixed some uglier welds. My welder is so old it makes the stone age look like yesterday. Really hard to weld sheet metal with it on level 6 and .030 wire (only setting that works and only wire it will take).
Have to do seat belt mounts. Some wiring cleaning up. Make some interior lights work. Find a bracket for the second row seats. That is about it besides maintenance. Then should be ready for the bash.

PRP's got them from DIY 4x4
Update, thought I posted this but guess not.
Got two new batteries, amazing how much better it starts.
Got all five of the water bottle holders mounted. Used hose clamps to mount three of them to the tube, so now I have extra for the engine if ever needed.
Talked to Edelbrock about my chip. I have the wrong one. Chip is for a very heavy cam'd engine as far as I know mine is stock. If it has a cam better then stock it is really small. So new chip is ordered should be here Fri/ Sat then I get to do some tuning.
