abbylind Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Drove mine in town for some errands...brake pedal went to the floor! Found the rear reservoir was empty...Stopped by Pep Boys and refilled with fluid. Pumped back up solid by the time I drove home. Further inspection found my right front hose has a small leak at the crimp. I replaced the wheel cylinder because in was leaking earlier didnt notice the hose. Replacing all hoses now.... 1 Quote Link to comment

hvyd Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 It's been a long while since I've posted anything, let alone pics. Anyway, took my old exhaust valves and made danglers instead of using a pair of nuts like others and i finally got my rims on. 1 Quote Link to comment

ownTer Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Starting to tinker with stereo stuff.... Made a small enclosure for a 8" sub behind the seat..... Also started making small spearker pods for under the dash. Dont want to cut any holes anywhere. So trying other ideas Driver side.... Passenger side..... Trying to figure out a decent option for stereo mounting. Have the stock AM radio installed the hole. And would like to keep it there. Also not wanting to spend $100 on a center console. Unless someone has one for cheaper. Does not have to be perfect. Im happy to spit and polish parts up. None the less, take care and thanks for looking! 1 Quote Link to comment
ownTer Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Ordered wheel adapter so i can get rid of what feels like a wagon wheel that is my steering wheel. At 6'3" its a little cramped. I have a standard Grant in my Jeep i will recycle for the truck. Also have a couple side mirrors on the way. Swap out the giant one's that are on there currently. While i like how easy it is to see behind me. I need something a little cleaner. Been sanding and painting as well. Getting there, a little at a time. Ive found a few pin holes. And some decent sized holes in the doors. Other than that no major rust to speak of. Not counting floor pans of course. But the Mrs's has given the OK to buy a MIG set up. So ill be able to get all that type of stuff fixed here soon enough. Here's a pic I have some stock wheels and hub caps i painted up. I like them better but they do not fill out the wheel wells like these do. Need some spacers in the future so i can run them. Or lower it some more. But im already on 3" blocks and turned all the way down. And i kind of like the ride height its at now. Not too low. Still on the hunt for center console as well. So i can get some tunes going. May be a guy kinda local that has one. But have not heard back from him yet. So if anyone has one they would want to part with? Shipping to 98368. Thanks have a great one! Quote Link to comment

HOGIE Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Replaced the accelerator fuel pump and put in a new fuel filter.

TIGrant Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I finally painted my header with high temp. ceramic paint and I'm starting to put everything back on. Decided to replace the original bolts and studs with some InoX stainless studs off of Ebay from Jon's Auto Shack. Once I get this thing running I will probably pull the engine to do a thorough cleaning of it and the engine bay. 1 Quote Link to comment
