Step 2: Truck Blazer

[mountainexplorer]

In less than 2 weeks, this is supposed to be roaring through a mud pit on 39.5" Boggers powered by a 396. From now until then I have 3 available days to work on it. All I can say is I hope I stay motivated.

Needs:
Replace throwout bearing sleeve
Weld crack in frame (done today)
Drill and extract broken off bolts in Dana 60 housing
Buy clutch and replace flywheel ring gear
Assemble remainder and install 396 with all accessories
Somehow fit the full 3" dual exhaust system into place without cutting or welding
Put front nose clip back on
Fire it up and break it in
Change tires, mount 39.5" Boggers on 12" wide aluminum rims
Bolt rear seat and seatbelts in
Put a rear bumper on it (optional)
