Just another bog truck

More pieces of the puzzle. Moving the orbital to inside the cab because the shock hoops are totally in the way. The old tilt column was on it's last leg anyways, I've been dragging my ass into the seat with it for 20 years lol

Paint for the cargo area came in. May get to spread it this weekend if it isn't raining. Got a new windshield sprayer to mount back there with all the other shit. Gonna get tight lol.

 

[Plumber'sCrack]

Also got all the old steering crap gone

It appears the new core support and Energy bushings don't get along lol. Sitting way too high. I'm sure I have something wrong, but it started raining when I was messing with it so I bailed.

Got the por15 put down this weekend. I really like this stuff.

 

[Plumber'sCrack]

Got the core support bolted in and radiator mocked up so I can make the lower brackets.

What’d you figure out on the misalignment?

I cut bushing down and gave it a few ugga dugga's lol

I'll go back and change ALL the bushings later. Right now the focus is getting this pig moving again

 

[centexk5]

Ugga duggas solve everything haha.

Battery containment arrived today

Did some stuff today

As of right now Imma give 2 thumbs up to the tire vulcanizing kit Jake Burkey at Busted Knuckle Off Road sells. So far it's worked as advertised. I sent him a pic of the damage and he gave a firm "no problem, we do it all the time" response. Having that 42" burnout tire on there was really killing my vibe

Ive read some really good reviews of it on hardline

Got a few more pieces to the puzzle today. I hit every parts store in town, including the dealership, looking for the radiator isolator bushings with no luck. Summit to the rescue with fast shipping. Also got a steering wheel I need, so it got me above $100 for free shipping

I'm thinking this is where the batteries will end up. Cross brace for rear coilovers is making seat placement VERY limited, so passenger feet will be riding this way anyhow, they may as well straddle a battery too

 

[Plumber'sCrack]

Derale dual pass trans cooler has arrived. I like it.

 

[Plumber'sCrack]

Finally decided where I want the batteries and got them bolted down.

 

[Plumber'sCrack]

Also ordered this badass fuse/relay box from Busted Knuckle to clean up the rat nest of wires I did years ago

 

[Plumber'sCrack]

While I was at it got the radiator bolted back in too
