After a few trips around FL, we got the U-haul and headed for MT. Finished product for now. Hoping to get the Dune 8's Mounted this summer as well as put on the Esky Handles.

Did not end up taking a lot of pictures of the wiring for the overhead console. I ordered one of the black Aluminum blanks, and we put in 5 switches and a digital volt meter. Light bar and horns mounted. Helping as usual. Hood back on and final check.

Replaced the clunking ISS Mocking Cables for Dual batteries New Rear Pods Wiring for seats, lights and heated mirrors. Intake Manifold on and EGR Deleted. Horns mounted and light bar mount in progress.

New UCAs, Bump Stops, 5100s, Tie Rod Ends, Ball Joints, Sway Bar endlinks/bushings, wheel bearings, and brake lines.

Painted the frame with POR 15 and topcoat after cleaning. That was my first time using it. Very tough stuff if you get it on you... New Seals on rear axle New 5100s Putting the receiver and wiring harness on New 4L80 in Before new front end parts... Hanging the bed (before painted...

Here are some pictures of the teardown/rebuild that we did in July. Before: Disassembly and pressure washing. Pulling the old 4L80e Starting the front suspension Cognito sent me two Drivers side UCAs. That was neat. New 4L80e

Small update, moving snow at work has kept me busy to say the least. This past week the coolant steam tube between the heads began leaking, replaced it with a Holley part because GM discontinued the factory part. Ended up doing plugs, wires and an oil change while I was in there and had the...

Thanks bud, we ran 1/2" line from the tank (5 gal long off of a semi) and we used a PacBrake 3.5 cfm compressor. Seems to flow pretty well. My dad made a badass basket to hang the compressor, I got a mudflap and made two shields, one for each side, as the tank is on the passenger and the...

For now that's the plan. I had it rebuilt maybe 35k ago? A local shop did it, corvette servo, HD sunshell and shift kit. I added the factory cooler and had a hydraulic line shop make some lines with the factory push-lock ends. You can sort of see them here. I will also be installing a temp...

Had quite a bit of "figuring out" to do with the MAP sensor (used the new style one from the 2010 intake), PCV routing (catch can mounted on the Alt Bracket), throttle cable bracket (trimmed), Evap purge Solenoid (new one used with new style fitting to match nobs manifold) & especially the...

Been busy and haven't updated this, but the motor is in, and it works, in the process of heat cycling it and finishing the onboard air for reasons. :cheeky: So onto the pictures... Out of the Crate and into the truck... Fun Stuff...tubes, fans, nnbs intake, big tb, and some valve covers that...

This project has been a long time coming for me, it definitely is a lot all at once. As far as your Head Gasket, I'd hate to say that you are, I tried to tell myself that it was something else, but it seemed every few weeks I was noticeably down on coolant in the expansion tank, then I noticed...

This evening we mocked up the SUV rear brakes, sand blasted & painted the hitch and a few other odds and ends, installed the sway bar and then rear shackles. Old Rotors (10k miles) compared to the SUV rears. I haven't removed the old calipers yet. Need a second person to help me bleed the...

Update on the SchlongBed: Not much had changed other than some audio and insulation work in the cab until about a month ago. I lost the drivers side head gasket in the 4.8 at 185k miles....started with a slow oil leak that I thought was the rear main seal and then the mysterious LOW COOLANT...

New project, which you guys may find more desirable than my truck, since us longed guys get no love here lmao... Updated 1/8/18 since Photobucket doesn't work anymore, here is an original picture of the truck in it's previous life as well as the reg cab before it's "makeover". I started this...
