IS THAT SWEET OR WHAT????

Of course there is still a ton of work left to do, but man this was a huge milestone that feel great to have now passed!

Things off the top of my head that needs to get done before the round-up:
  • Get an Intake plumbing built and get an air filter
  • Modify and Mount the Downey Header
  • Hook up the onboard air lines
  • Wire in the Welder Back in
  • Mount the Battery
  • Mount misc items in the engine bay like air box, igniter, charcal canister, yadda yadda yadda
  • Install the Radiator and hoses and get some coolant in this beast
  • Mount the IFS Steering Box and finish the HySteer
  • Rebuild the rear diff to fix a bad ARB line
  • Hook up the brakes
  • Hook up the throttle cable
  • Hook the winch up
  • Build and install a new front bumper and rock sliders
  • yadda yadda yadda


What? You thought this was gonna be easy? ha!

Here are a couple more pics from tonight. A fuel leak that we had when I was testing the fuel pump circuit minuets before the first start-up, and a pic of the Jerry-rigged duct-taped Intake so that we could start it up :gap: Hey, it's the first item on the above list all-right!
