well dug out the truck yesterday and removed the 400/205 for my other truck and then today took pics before she gets parked again for a week or so.

I saw it out back yesterday. I wish we could've stayed llonger. I know you had work to do, and we had to fly too. How long till you crack the lable on the next Capt?
 
still have to get plow truck together and gone before work on crew cab starts.

and yes sorry i took the caption and kicked you out thats not normal. but that huge ford turd van kicked my butt.

and yes it was cold and windy ! ! ! no place to chat out side yesterday.

and still have 1/2 handle left on last bottle before i crack open the twins.
 
According to the weatherman, it looks like the plow might be necessary over the next few days.

No problem over the lack of visitation time. I knew we were gonna be early, and you would still be working. I had to be at a dinner by 4:30 as it was.

Take it easy!!

Looking forward to it. SS brake lines were a huge improvement over stock lines for me.

I got the same set. I'm still waiting on the short lines for the rear discs though. I'm glad to hear they help. It'll be nice to be able to stop the thing after it gets rolling! This weekend, I think I will tackle the rear disc swap!
 
if you get board i will be having a build up party.

i got tattoo and its cold and 2 liter of cold coke ready for me.

you bring your soda and have that. :haha:

yep i am getting parts almost ready for the big buildup.

once the plow truck is done and out its all hand on the crewcab.
 
So you work on the necessities, then off to the TOY build! I'm already thinking of driving mine. It's been since September. A lot has happened since then. Still got a lot of stuff to learn and work on.

I may have to open up some of my trails to get a CC through. The mud is kinda close at the end. It's where I rearranged my rear quarters. I do expect that you will bring it to my house this summer.:deal:
 
Well? What's the progress report? Plow truck done?

today after 2pm when i get out of work i will install the driveshaft and lokar shifter. i i have my camera also for pics of the shifter setup.

then its fair game on this project. the range box is back and ready for clean/paint and reassemble.
 
2 things.

1 = you not paid no peeky :haha:

2 = hosted here not linked from free site. :doah:

trust in the ck5 brother hood payup and you will get more than 25 bucks for 365 days worth of info and pics and tech.
 
Hey Brett, what's up? Any new progress? I talked to ORD today, and my crossover is being shipped Mon. next week. I did finally get the correct steering box today, and my new seat! Yahooooo!!! XJ steering shaft is on it's way too. Won it on e-bay for $.01 :p: How's the doubler coming? Need to see some pics!!!

Hope all is well, talk to you later!:D
 
ya picked up a full spline 4l80-e output shaft today used from local tranny shop ( side note [ i hate that guy ] side note over ) for 40 bucks cash good shape to.

then i went and tracked down some parts for my stress reduction toy. found a 88 honda 250x 4 wheeler real good shape for year. had to get a chain/sprockets/oil/filter/2 spark plugs/fresh gas/rear pads and now i found i need a rear axle housing as the bearings wear junk from rust and went to remove it and it broke. the crack was 1/2 old and i just finished it off. at least it was in shop and not on trail.

but i have the parts to finish the 4l80-e/241 adaptor/203rangebox/ord doubler kit/205 all 32 splines. just need to do it.

and i finished the other trucks tranny/tcase swap and shifter install and all is good. will be doing some late nights here at work soon.
 
Good to hear from you, I'm off to bed with a cyclobenzaprine, 4 ibupropen, and a lipitor. Head/neck ache and high cholesterol, and a little nasal spray to round it off. I hope I wake up in the morning!

Good Night Moon!
