Took my rear hitch receiver and bumper off to make way for the new bumper. Got to cut and fold the lower quarter panels sometime this week.
 
Hell yeah. I wanna so a stubby too. I need to sell my tnt bumper first.

Oil change, fuel filter, and mostly dropped my gas tank to pin the lose baffle and rebuild my send in unit.

Tomorrow obviously finish with the gas tank, cluster swap, including temp and oil senders, and work on the d30 ive been rebuilding for my 4x4 swap.


also ordering braided brake lines, to replace the cracked and leaking factory lines.
 
 
Paint needs to settle some more. Ill be finishing up the cut and fold today or Saturday. But it'll for sure be on by the end of the weekend. Then I get to do some ujoints.
 
bought some CORE4x4 adjustable upper and lower control arms, extended front brake lines, temp and oil senders. now i have a working full cluster, but i also have a low voltage issue with my alternator (13.8v @ idle) and my temperature is hovering at 220-230*
 
Rear bumper is installed. As well as new rear bump stops.

Tomorrow I'll be doing the front bump stops, axle ujoints, and try to figure out if I have another bad ujoint somewhere or my rear axle is about to assplode.
