Must be really rough there in AZ requiring 4WD on pavement. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Well... I'm in south MS, but not much need for anything short of 1wd here on pavement.

Ok good! im getting it all the parts together I cant wait!

Ok, im bad about updates. So the axle is in, it steers and is movable on all 4 tires. I still need to work out the brake lines and master cylinder which is minor, probably wont do that until i have the motor and trans back in though. I am currently working on the engine, drop the heads off today at a machine shop to be checked and resurfaced. Should have rhem back in a week or so and then i can start assembling the motor, new timing stuff, gaskets, etc. All the usual crap. Since the original trans in the truck was a 4 cyl auto and i pulled to donate to a toasty project, i will put a late gen 1 auto with a lock up in to work with the 3.5. So i need to still get ahold of that , then its ready for the drive shafts and someother stuff. But its slowly getting there.

Remember you need Gen 2 starter. I also think gen 2 other stuff in there. Find SrtNate's post

I already finished the swap 4 years ago or so. I drove it around for about 2 years until i decided to do an sas and dual transfer cases. I figured with motor out it would be easier to sas it. Plus i needed to pull the motor so i could do valve stem seals and timing belt. So the motor swap is done. Just want a lock up trans behind it now too. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
