Been a long time since I updated this. I slacked off quite awhile. Ended up getting some work at my friends auto repair shop for a month or so, and had no desire to go home and work on my own rig after messing with cars I hate all day long lol.


Anyhow, I had been playing around with my accusump. I found a few good places to mount it, but I will not be installing it anytime soon. I still need to buy an electric valve for it, and frankly, I dont think I will be doing any hard core wheelin that could require it anytime soon.

I don't even remember my last update, but here is where I am right now.

What I have left.
-I need to make a bracket for my power steering reservoir
-put atf in the power steering
-finish up adapting the carb box to the starion box one of these days
-repair another break in my harness I found. F'n knock sensor was broke in 3 spots, I think I will just grab a male plug off one of my other wiring harnesses.
-solder in a o2 plug, yes this harness needed some serious attention.
-Bolt the shifters in, and install the interior bits I removed
-install a 7 dollar john baker class 2 hitch. Ironically I found 2 at the jyard, so I snagged the perttier of the 2, and even pocketed a 1 7/8 ball and a 2incher.
-Buy about 7 wheel studs fr all teh dang studs that broke off when I pulled the original wheels off.
-install aisin manual hubs
-Maybe drain the tank before I add fuel.
-add coolant

And the very last - Install a mitsubishi grill smile I'm real close to firing this thing up. I misplaced my camera memory card, so no pics right now, but soon.

I'll probably be fabricating some shackles shortly for a slight lift. The rear end seems a little saggy, so once I crank the torsion bars up a bit to help with these very negative offset 12" wide wheels, I should have an idea on how many inches I need to go.

I figure I will drive it around a bit and get a chance to enjoy the rig before I install my sr air locker rear end. I find if I let a project go for too long, I lose all motivation. Driving the vehicle you are working on is always good motivation smile
