The truck has been in some state of repair for 7 1/2 months and never driven on the street. It was junkyard bound when I got it and could barely run for minutes when I got it. I put it on a trailer and brought it to the house. First sitting in the street, then the driveway and then finally in the garage. I have been into and repaired virtually every system on the truck, fuel, ignition, start circuit, egr, EEC circuits and switches, secondary air, lights, including instrument illumination, exterior and interior, signal lights, horn, wipers, speedo, brakes, cooling, blower, ac, heat, suspension, the 8.8 and the 44TTB, elec generation and distribution. I didn't have to get into internal transmission, engine internals and exhaust. I gutted and replaced the interior with the exception of replacing the dash pad. Wire brushed every bit of the frame with a high speed and painted with 3 coats of Rustuleum. I made some good mods, a locker in the back, a Rocksolid up front with a 10k winch, a tool box for the bed, warn premiums, transfer case skid plate, Bushwhacker flares. There are a few things left, 3g alternator, Hefty rear bumper with a spare tire carrier, rear tank skid plate, utility light for the bed and eng bay, body work and paint. Bed coating and a center console.

Well, here it is guys the nearly finished product. I want to thank all that have given guidance, in particular Steve83

 

Bad ***. Good job, it looks super good from top to bottom.
Needs cab lights though haha

 

Thanks Russo, that headliner was a beyatch to get in there though, so, I'm thinking it'll just stay put for now. BTW, thanks to you too, I'm sure I got some wisdom from you as well.

 

Really looks great, you can tell a lot of work went into the truck.

 

Wow that is clean nice work.

 

That is a sexy truck, I must say. Nice work.

 

Great great truck, I am just a little jealous. Awesome job man.

 

If I provided any info it was well used.
I am highly jealous.

 

Hey dudeman. Just an fyi, if you do want cablights, you don't have to drop the headliner again.
I can get a good write up for ya.

 

nice looking truck

 

Thanks.. just finished a major job. I pulled the transfer case,transmission, bellhousing. I replaced the rear main seal, resurfaced the disk, replaced the clutch, cleaned,resealed and painted the trans. Then I cleaned and resealed the t case. It was alot of work but needed to be done.

 

Very Nice. Well done.

 

Thanks.. now I'm getting my butt kicked trying to bleed the clutch hydraulics. I replaced the master beacause it was leaking, next up, a new slave. I'm ordering the progold slave from lukdepot.

 

If the clutch master points up toward the front of the truck they get air locked and no amount of fluid will clear it.

Might have to take the master loose and point the front down hill to burp the air out. I know people who have gone through about 3 qts. of fluid trying to bleed out a clutch system. May not be your problem but it's worth a look.

 

Wow that came out awesome
