This is basically up to date now, here’s a to do list:
- IFS rear axle with new seals
- castor shims
- ujoints all around
- brakes all around
- new seals in the front axle
- the blower fan resistor
- manual temp gauge or fix the SR5 cluster
- clutch isn’t engaging all the way, figure that out, hopefully its just adjustment in the pedal
- rear window doesn’t work
- all brake lines
- hook up ebrake
- New pitman arm and tie rod end
- install steering stabilizer
- coolant was leaking from the front of the motor somewhere, after I got it running I noticed, but then I put it away for the year. Really hoping it’s just the water pump
- install window trim and badges
- build rear bumper and tire carrier
I should be able to bang a lot of that out in one day with some help.
After all that I can start looking at a pop up trailer to lift! Also here’s what I’m thinking about doing for a rear bumper. I’m open To suggestions for sure, I just don’t have a way of bending tube right now so I’d prefer mostly square. I did have these rear quarter panel armour bent up from DOM by a friend though.
This was the inspiration for paint
