Dash looks good! Reminds me of mine!

Ahh i love your guys dash set ups! The top of mine looks great but it seems every body has to do work on the heater/cd player part

It was a pain in the @#$@@^*O! To build mine. Actually the hardest part was getting the heat and air controls set at the right angle.

another pic of the engine.

tread plate door panels (the same steel as the bed) kinda like ARMOR PLATE LOL

OLD SCHOOL hood emblem I just like the way it looks

new (2010) emblem for the rear again I just like the way it looks

repainted with rustoleum kahki

I think the rustoleum looks ALOT better than the krylo... at least its all the same color

when I painted it with krylon, it was 5 different shades! My color blind father in law could see the difference

Due to some medical bills, I am trying to sell one of my 4wheelers to finish my truck. Both are Honda Rancher 420ES 4x4. Both have a Warn winch. 1 has ITP tires and wheels.

Thanks, GMACK

another set back

5th gear went out on my son's truck.

fortunately I have another transmission, so I will be spending a few vacation days under his truck. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY NOT!!

Hopefully I can back to work on my truck in the next few weeks.

gmack192 · « **Reply #70 on:** Jan 04, 2010, 06:27:58 AM »

ordered this today.. it will give me something to do on my truck next weekend.

The transmission swap on the sons truck went real smooth..... having the use of my stepfather's lift was a real time and BACK saver.

I will try to take some pictures of the "air box" snorkel build.. I built something similar on a SAMMY I had. I cut a hole (the same shape as the Weber base) in the lid of a Christmas cookie tin. I mounted the lid between the carb and the Weber breather. Next I cut a hole in the side of the can (of the cookie tin) for the air tube. On the Sammy i ran the tube through the fire wall. I'm going to build a tube snorkel for the truck..

The point of no return A BIG HOLE in the fender.

the air box (actually its a cookie tin)

finished air box, waiting for paint to dry

the snorkel, roughed in.

I'll have to wait until next weekend to finish..

gmack192 · « **Reply #73 on:** Jan 24, 2010, 05:50:03 PM »

Finished the air box

and the snorkle

and from the drivers side

gmack192 · « **Reply #74 on:** Jan 24, 2010, 05:56:02 PM »

Well,I'm not sure why the last pic didn't work.. But you get the idea.

gmack192 · « **Reply #75 on:** Jan 29, 2010, 12:40:18 PM »

I ordered the suspension today, going cheap. 3 inch tuff country. I also found some used (very few miles) 12.5X35 LTB's for $800. Just waiting to buy the DIFFs. seems like it is taking FOREVER

gmack192 · « **Reply #76 on:** Feb 13, 2010, 07:09:46 PM »

update.. the suspension is almost done. hopefully I can order the gears this week (or next)

thats a pretty sweet idea using the cookie tin.

gmack192 · « **Reply #83 on:** Feb 23, 2010, 05:23:44 PM »

Thanks, I did it on a Sammy I had, worked real good. It's easy with a Weber carb. Bolt the lid between the carb & filter.

gmack192 · « **Reply #84 on:** Mar 03, 2010, 08:08:21 PM »

well the truck is off the jack stands.. the gears are in, just gotta bleed the brakes and take it for a spin..

Trying to figure out why?
