He hasn't updated his photos lately. Maybe he's spending to much time driving around in it now

Just got it back from the body shop tonight. That took friggin forever, but they did a great job. I had them straighten the inner fenders, hang two fenders, fix the driver door, paint both doors, and the fenders. They had it for about 4 weeks. Not really a huge deal, because I managed to dig out for our addition. Rented a Bobcat last weekend, and got it done. I got like 3 huge projects going on right now. ha ha ha

I just got done putting the rear shocks on (Rancho), and the door panels. Tomorrow, I'm putting the front Struts (AutoSpring) and maybe the fan, condensor, etc. Not a whole lot left to do yet. I'll take some pics tomorrow.

I'm hoping to just about have it all done by the end of the week. I got to get a upper bumper. The idiots I ordered the bumper from still haven't sent it. I also got to get an airbag. Just lost an auction on ebay on one for $100. ah well.

i would think twice about an airbag on ebay. i know that insurance companies wont even consider anything but brand new factory airbags. yeah, they are expensive, but for such a valuable safety item, i would consider it money well spent.

Sorry about that. I got busy the last two days. I added the pictures. http://photos.yahoo.com/jaymay75

I got the 2 AutoSpring lift on the front, Rancho's all the way around. Got the front u-joint on, got the fan, fan shroud, battery bracket, window washer fluid, radiator, condensor, tranny cooler all on. I replaced the bad O2 sensor. (not fun) I'm not getting a check engine light now, nor am I getting any codes, but it still idle's rough. I think its because of the exhaust not being on.

Its really moving along. Not all that much work to do.

I got to put the bed on, exhaust, put the airbag in, put the grill on, front bumper, inner wheel well liners, get the window replaced, add the logos to the fenders, put the K&N Air Intake in, and thats about it.

I got a power steering fluid leak, but I think its because of a weak hose clamp. I got to look into that.

Almost done.

Hoping to have everything wrapped up by next week sometime. Then it needs an inspection, and paperwork needs sent to the state. They take about 2-3 weeks, then I'm good to go.

Got it just about all wrapped up. I got to call about a windshield, and I got to get the front upper bumper painted after I get an inspection. Pics to follow. It looks great.

The truck looks great. All that needs done is a new Windshield, paint the front bumper, flush the radiator fluid, and swap out the RCM. Later on, I'll get the dual exhaust on. Rides great. Took it for a little off-roading already.
