Cool how many psi does that require? How much was it? I want one!!!

EarlKann · « **Reply #154 on:** Mar 24, 2008, 09:48:04 AM »

I believe that it requires 125psi air. We got it off Pirate for $800

We need some dies for it, but just the hydraulics for the bender new are $1000

Jed already had a JD2 manual bender, but we couldn't resist the deal, so It'll be posted for sale here soon.

You weren't kidding! Nice deal on that bender.

What did you end up deciding to do on the gas tank?

jedrattle · « **Reply #156 on:** Mar 24, 2008, 05:18:41 PM »

I decided to leave the stock tank where it's at....for right now. Mainly just to get through the smog ref. I have been pming back and forth with a guy on pirate, who just went through the 3.4 swap and the smog ref. He told me, the more stuff is stock or stock looking, the easier I will get through.

I got work to do!!

jedrattle · « **Reply #157 on:** Mar 25, 2008, 09:41:23 PM »

I got one tire mounted!! It looks great!!

I have to do a little work to the other wheel before I can mount the tire. Someone owned me a few $$ so I had him get me a HF 3000lb winch......for the rear suspension!! 8) A little more tomorrow.

Nice t-case setup! I'm freakin jealous....Keep up the good work.

How many bolts on the Boby Long Beadlocks, 24 or 32?

Don't forget to smear a liberal amount of balck silicone on the welded ring to seal up any pin holes.

BNRSHNTZL · « **Reply #161 on:** Mar 27, 2008, 11:54:58 AM »

looking good, all we need know is for you to bring that bender up to the high desert.

jedrattle · « **Reply #162 on:** Mar 27, 2008, 10:50:46 PM »

I got the other wheel finished tonight. Here is the first one done......

I will mount the other tire tomorrow. I pulled the rear end out from underneath the truck and started cutting off brackets. I ground down what I cut off. I still need to grind the springs perches. Then I can do my brace for the housing.

BNRSHNTZL · « **Reply #163 on:** Mar 28, 2008, 05:46:03 AM »

that looks great i want one or four!

THK Matt · « **Reply #164 on:** Mar 28, 2008, 06:08:28 AM »

It looks like more fender trimming is in order.

Great job on the build up. Let me know who you've been talking with on Pirate about smog on the 3.4. I will need some advise once mine is competed.

toywthbdydmge · « **Reply #170 on:** Apr 03, 2008, 03:35:39 PM »

any updates

$Beer Chug\'n$

jedrattle · « **Reply #171 on:** Apr 03, 2008, 04:46:17 PM »

Thanks guys!! $Beer Chug\'n$

85 and still running.......I will have to look his screen name up for you. Long story short....He said the smog ref prefers everything to look stock! I am using the same parts you are (ORS) . So just keep the stock cats on and don't use any aftermarket parts and you should be fine.

No updates, I have been working. I have to put this on the back burner, right now. I got the word today, it looks like work is going to take a major crap!!!

That's not what I need right now!!

I have to fix 3 other trucks to make some $$ to finish this one. Plus I need to work on getting rid of some of my stuff ( the boat, the old truck. etc.) to pay off some bills. I did get the other beadlock done and mounted. I got the other 2 beadlock kits in the mail yesterday. I worked on trussing the rear end but it's not finished yet. I will still be working on it as much as possible. I want to try and make the Marlin round up. And some night runs at the Hammers this summer!!

85 and still running · « **Reply #172 on:** Apr 03, 2008, 07:42:04 PM »

Thanks for the info. I will check in with you about that screen name from Pirate if I have a problem with the smog ref.

Sorry to hear about work but, I was talking with someone yesterday that wanted your help... There is another truck sitting there awaiting a 3.4 swap after mine.

EarlKann · « **Reply #173 on:** Apr 03, 2008, 07:46:57 PM »

3.4 V6 swap.

Believe me, if I was to do it again, I would write him a check for that truck, buy him a threesome in Vegas

, and pay his bar tab for the next 6 months and still spend less than what I have in mine!

EarlKann · « **Reply #175 on:** Apr 03, 2008, 08:25:07 PM »

That's the guy Jed was talking to.

well any new progress on this thing

jedrattle · « **Reply #178 on:** May 05, 2008, 08:05:05 PM »

No, I am in the middle of moving stuff around the yard and cleaning it up.

That stuff should be done by the end of this coming weekend. I want to get it done soon for the night runs at the hammers this summer and the Round UP. I did bend up the shock hoops before I let the guy take the old bender on friday. I got some small stuff I needed as well.

Then I can start on this......
`95 Taco 3rz 5psd

This is the problem.....

Yes that is Truck Traders rig in the back ground. I will start a new thread when I get to this one.

John Doe · « **Reply #179 on:** May 05, 2008, 09:45:36 PM »

You tease! That looked like 1 clean rig. Regardless I expect it will be a good build.
