xtrmemtnmn Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Yeah lets gets some pics, want to see your rig Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 A new fender and door from the pick a part. Finally got the new hoses and everything needed to install the radiator. I went with a '91 Volvo 240. The lower radiator hose ended up being the stock lower hose. The upper I got from Car Quest, right off the shelf with no mods. :D For the lower mounts I used two 1" long pieces of 1X1X1/8" angle iron. The upper mount I made out of a sheet of aluminum I cut 4" wide 17" wide. And a shot of things to come.:cool: Quote Link to comment
xtrmemtnmn Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I like the truck keep us posted on what is going on with it. I also like the grill hanging above the garage doors. Here is mine in side my garage. My jeep windshield frame from when I rolled it and a cj grill I aquired. Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Ya, I have a jeep problem. :D:D I have a 3B, CJ5 and a the grill form my OLD Wagoneer hanging above my spare 4.0L. Plus the CJ grill hanging in my sons room. Plus a 47 Willys PU cab that sits in the back yard awaiting it's turn for a future project. BTW: Nice windshield. :lol: At least I know you were having fun that day. Quote Link to comment

Cuts metal like mad Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Whats that muffler I see peeking out? Looks almost like a sport bike muffler. Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 It is. It's off a GSXR1000. It sounds pretty cool but I think it's a little restrictive. I did however get a different one from a Bussa. It has a 2 1/4" inlet that will work very nicely with new exhaust.The Gixxer pipe I'm thinking of pulling the baffle out of it to make it a more straight through flow and putting it on the Hustler. I'll let you know how it turns out. I'll have to see if my daughters MP4 will record sound. Maybe I can post a sound clip. Quote Link to comment

datman Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I think he'll be working on this one as other truck was involved in a accident. Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 It has been a lobar of love. I will be posting some more pictures soon. I work on just about every day. I spent the better part of Christmas day working on it. Mainly just small stuff on the interior, finishing little details in the engine bay. Stuff that isn't easily seen in progress pictures. I decided to change the fluid in the rear diff and the tranny. THE TRANNY WAS DRY!!! Gald I haven't driven it to any length yet. I have two of the titans mounted. Of coarse on the back. I still need to get my front hubs machined so I can mount up the fronts without spacers and longer studs. I'll keep you updated. Pics to follow soon. I'll be outside later working on it.

cheg Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 well i'll keep an eye out for the thread i love watching these things get nicer and nicer Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Sorry for the lack of updates here. I have just been working on it. Well, slowed down a little with the cold. Stripped the roof of all the rust on the passanger side and repainted it with Acid etch #8 and some flat black. Turned out OK for now. I did get the rear Titans mounted and just dropped my hubs off to be machined today. So, as soon as they get back I will get those mounted and take some updated pictures. Been dick'n around with the interior some. Got the guage cluster lights ALL working, cig lighter installed (gotta have that), heater overhauled with a good core and fresh foam. New foam around all the trap doors, one new cable and a good heat valve. Still need the piece for the low speed on the fan motor. Three trucks at the local Pick A Part and not one of them had a good one. Have a new windshield gasket, just waiting for warmer weather to put the new glass in. Will get the floor redone with POR15 as soon as I fix my damn leak on the drivers side. It looks like it is coming in from between the firewall and the windheild cowl. Need to pick up some new seam seal and redo the whole thing. :mad: Hoping to get the new bearing and seals for the hubs this week and get my 388 gears intalled as well. Later Jes Quote Link to comment
datman Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 can't wait to see some updates Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Right now I'm just waiting on a call from Beebani saying their ready to be picked up. :D Right now she looks like a whore. Four differant colors of paint, Butterscotch, Blue, Grey primer and Black primer. 225-40-18's with Titans on the rear and rusty 14" chrome spokes with some 195-60's on the front. She's a real beaut. :lol: I WILL post some updated pics as soon as I get some rubber on the front Titans. Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Just got a call from Beebani, the hubs are done. Yee haa. Also, just won this for the truck too. I'll have to sell a few things and find some carbs to bolt up to it. Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I can't wait to see pics. I love those Titans on the 620. What are you doing with your old wheels? Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 You want them? How does $20. sound? Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 You want them? How does $20. sound? Sounds like a good deal. :) PM me your number so we can talk. I need to fill in my fender flairs and those Toyota 4X4 wheels I have now are too far inset. Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Today was fun. Got my hubs on with no issues. Thanks Bee! Found a set of used tires in Woodburn. NOTHING in the Salem area for the size I wanted. 225-45-18. Mounted them on the rear and put my 225-40-18's in the front. Looking good but too high in the front. Dropped off my old crappy chrome spokes to Phlebmaster and headed home to lower the front 2". Looks MUCH better now. I know the deal, no pictures-didn't happen. Well my damn camera is dead and I'm not going to spend the $14. for batteries right now. Beebani and phlebmaster can vouch for me.:D Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I saw it, I can testify, looks damn good! Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I can send you a set of AA's for datsun sake... :D Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 ^^^^ :lol:No, that's cool. I haven't been able to get phone to talk to my computer or I would do it that way. Bee, can you? I can send you a new one with the front lowered down. Me and the boy lowered it last night. My 8 year old lowered his first truck. And yes, he did a lot of the work with me. Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I can, but not until I get home tonight. Quote Link to comment
