That looks awesome man. Nice work.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Very nice and clean, super excited the harness is what you wanted!

 

[y5mgisi]

Thanks! I'm really happy with the way things are going. I'll finish up the loomaand get the engine cover on tomorrow!

Ordered a water pump from rock auto. Pulled the old one off today. It was leaking bad out the weep hole.

Does your steam line go to your water pump?

Martin

 

[y5mgisi]

Yep.

 

[y5mgisi]

Water pump in and done. Truck runs great! So good that I decided to use it to move the trailer. Had to move the trailer so I could get the burb out of the driveway. Sounds funny but that's a nice milestone! For it to no longer require driveway parking to do most of the rest!

 

[Deuling]

Awesome!
So that little line coming out of the bottom of the throttle body is a steam line? Was wondering what that is for on Brett's buggy the other day.

 

[y5mgisi]

Basically. At the throttle body it's just a pass through. Goes from the steam port, through the throttle body and to wherever. I chose to put mine in the water pump.

 

[y5mgisi]

It's supposed to keep the throttle body from icing. Not a big deal for most people. So on his buggy, I would probably just bypass it. Supposed to be important in Super cold clim ates at Highway speed.

I should have the burb basically done and road worthy by the end of this weekend. Getting pretty excited!

 

[blazer74]

Good feeling

 

[muddysub]

That's awesome man!

 

[Chief Brody]

so which one are you taking on your long trip?

 

[y5mgisi]

The burb! Cant wait! Still have a decent amount of stuff i want to get done before i go but i have about a year still.

 

[y5mgisi]

Interior is pretty well put together for now. All I have to do still is get a stereo. It's far from "done" but to the point where I can drive it for a few months and then go after things like the head liner, carpet, etc.

Also I did the 4 front speaker mod. So I have 6 speakers total. They are still too small to sound real good but it does get louder now.

 

[y5mgisi]

Also I should be getting all registered up this week and be driving it around again finally!

 

[muddysub]

I thought about throwing in another speaker or two but passed on it. Glad to hear you'll have her back on the road.

 

[y5mgisi]

Got tags and drove it to work today! Stopped and took a pic on the way.

Glad you've got it back on the road.

Also, glad i didnt' try and do a LS swap in a weekend.....
