15.50-Stock's 82 Project

[15.50_STock]

So ive decided I going to keep it, after trying to sell it for so long. This is going to be a long project. Arent they all?



Plans: Weld rear end, bob and dove tail rear, dove tail front, rid of rust in back of cab, Stick back on my 33x15.50" TSL SX's, re-hang exhaust, install clutch, get a passenger door, bucket seats, maybe some new leafs, custom bumpers, fix hole in dash with aluminum, sticker it, maybe a exo (If I can find a bender to use) any other ideas?

Far future plans: Marlin 4" kit FR and RR, 35" SX's, Duals with stock gears.

Input? Ideas?

Also is there a write up on dovetailing?

i would start out with a bumper for the front,  dual cases, then gears,  its kinda silly  to bob and  dovetail a truck with 1 tcase  and  no lockers

besides the fact  it just WRONG


is this gonna be a daily driver like you said you wanted??

[15.50_STock]

Im cutting that "thing" off the front ASAP, I just need to figure out where I want to go with the bumper. Well, after the clutch.

No DD for me. Still looking for that one Extra cab.

as clean as that bed looks i would sell it  and  build a flatbed,  if your gonna go offroad only,  or at least  a mostly off road

yeah but some people dont have all the $$ to dump into it so they do things on the cheap for fun.
like bob and dovetail would cost like $20 bucks in cut off wheels, gas, and wire.
when a dual adapter cost like 370 gears are pretty spendy too.

Update: Bought a Zoom clutch, put on swampers, cleaned tranny/transfer case, going to pickup flywheel when NAPA opens. Pictures soon to come!

what tires are on it in the first pic there?

[15.50_STock]

Old bald Yokohama M/T's, the ones they dont make anymore. It looks so bad ass now. Got the flywheel. $37.40 from napa (resurface). Got everything almost back in, just gotta bolt up crossmemeber/trans/transfercase. The shifter is really worn out, really bad. haha.

[15.50_STock]

Ill have to snap pictures of the what used to be the clutch. Nothing left.

[jimbo74]

the shifter is worn out? or your transmission is worn out? you might try to change out the shift seat bushings.... if that doesnt help, your transmission is jacked.....

[15.50_STock]

Its the rubber pieces where the shift lever sits, trans is good, pulled apart for inspection didnt have any wear! Wow. 212k miles, dam good. Sad thing is I cant afford $20 for marlin new rubber piece(s).

[15.50_STock]

So the clutch is in, 80% back together. Started right up. Ill have to snap some new pictures. Im going to get a new starter tomorrow. $68 from autozone+life time warrenty. With a $20 core, good deal? I think im going to sell it, running with a new clutch and starter.
