Project Short Fuse

worked on it a little bit this past week. the plan was to finish it but the honey do list grew and birthdays and crap got in the way but i got the steering TRE fit and need to weld it up with the offset TRE's



and the front shot



also got a front DIY diff cover for the Dana 60 from Copperhead fab and started it


i hope to finish welding thie cover tonight

Update that i had forgotten about.

i wanted to run a taurus 2 speed fan but was to lazy and cheap to buy a radiator or have a shroud built so what i did was install the tausur fan into a stock toyota shroud cheap and easy

the mock up


you can see in this one where i had to cut the taurus shourd



fast forward i'm sure you get the idea on cutting to the finished product


and another
in this pic you can see how i just drilled and bolted the two shrouds together



and bolted in. it was tight because i have a gay body lift but i flipped the shroud over and fits perfect

Thanx man :smokin:

this past weekend i got the front diff cover welded up, steering all tiged up, the front axle put together and started cutting the inner fender wells for the shock hoop's. a couple years ago a friend of mine gave me a set of prerunner fiberglass fender's so i had a buddy of mine shoot them with the left over paint from the truck. here is what they look like i personaly like them. i know they wont last but the price was right :flipoff2:




and the new fender's



also this was the first time the front was on it's own weight. and so i rolled it outside to check her out

been kinda stalled out for a bit. the wheeling life was sucked out of me by a purchase of some bad hubs here on pirates but now i'm fired up and moving forward.

small updates

got the rear brake lines finished up. since the rear caliper's are from a 1975 3/4 chevy truck i went to scummit and bought a brake line kit for a lifted 75 chevy truck. $93.00 buck how could you go wrong. this gave me the caliper lines and the frame to diff line. after scummit i went over to Copperhead Fab and james had some tab's to mount the brake lines. i also welded some 1/4 - 20 bolts to the diff and used Adel clamps to hold them tight. here is a crap pic i took. i really like the bolt on line rather then the gay clip style


also got a winch panel from 12voltguy.com what a cool f-ing guy
installed the night i got it. these two things are what relit my fire


installed


also made a couple bracket's for the diff and the frame side to hold the flex line. thats all welded in and ready. tonight i will be buying the front brake lines and three short steel lines to finish the rear and then i can drive it with brakes....whoohoo that should really get me fired up :smokin:

got all the brake lines done this past weekend and took it out to poser flex it to be sure where i wanted the shock's :flipoff2: here's a few pics. over all i'm very happy

had the door off painting the door jamb's
