Ever sit back and think of all the projects you have going on with your vehicles and think you should have done one at a time:rolleyes:? Heres my list.

Decided i wanted to convert my K5 to TBI so I have TBI stuff all strung out in the garage

Then I found a Donor Rig with 3/4 tons so I pulled the axles and have them getting rebuilt. Halfway through decided to convert the 14 Bolt to Disc.;)

Realized I was losing my tranny so decided that if I have to pull the T case I might as well through in a rebuilt one as well...but why just rebuild a 205 might as well twin stick it:bow:

If I'm swapping axles now's the time to do a shackle flip and if I'm going to do a shackle flip might as well throw in some longer springs.

Oh then theres the Jeep...Flex fan was causing it to overheat on the trail, high RPM + low MPH= flat fan blades and not much air. Having a hard time finding a stock fan blade that will work with an alum. radiator:mad:
 
Yep, I'm building a K5 from scratch (started with a bare frame) and it's been the most overwhelming project I've ever started. Having to touch every nut, bolt, switch, etc is driving me crazy because I'm always worried I'll forget or skip something and not come back to it later. :doah:

Right there with ya brother, know what your dealing with. I love my junk.
 
I totally understand.:haha:

I sent my rear hubs out to have the wheel studs pressed through the rotors. I used one of our suppliers at work, they are our Bearing supplier and they do a bunch of other stuff for us, it being a bearing shop they are throwing new bearing in too:D anyway he just called and wanted to know what front axle I was swapping and I told him a Dana 44...He asked me why not a 60? Only real answer...finacial...I can't afford a 60:( Apparently a buddy of his just scrapped one:mad: But may have another:p: My plans may change again:waytogo:
 
yup, I jump all over the place.. but with an "off the road" project, thats ok..

as a matter of fact, i think it's beneficial... gets ya started on everything to see what issues you may have, parts you may need, mod conflicts, etc...

just can't let it overwhelm ya, perspective and all that... most of the time it turns out I'm waiting on parts I can't afford at the moment...
 
ive been all over the map with mine. when i blew a transmission suddenly it had a fully built 60/14 under it. then engine blew. put new one in. never ran right. now im trying to throw an entire tbi motor in along with all the other small doo dads
