Nice you going to leave it of finish it off

88Rokyoat · « **Reply #151 on:** May 26, 2012, 08:18:53 AM »

It's getting finished today. I'll post some better pics when it's done.

Before I started this i searched for some trim jobs, most of them were rounded not squared. Now i know why, i had to do more cutting and patching with sheetmetal than I would have if they were round.

After laying out the lines with tape, i cut the pinch welds off. then cut the body so i could use as much as I could of the inner fender after bending it and re welding it. I pulled everything out the rear storage area (atleast I thought I did) I found a bottle of PS fluid with the cut off wheel.

not sure how i feel about the square rear fenders... but your truck is sweet

88Rokyoat · « **Reply #156 on:** May 26, 2012, 07:39:52 PM »

Thanks. Soon enough the front will match the rear alittle better.

I think the pics are messin with people, I think it looks good and would probably look better in person

88Rokyoat · « **Reply #159 on:** May 29, 2012, 09:14:22 AM »

Thanks. Yeah I would agree. I like how it turned out.

It's been awhile since I've done much on my rig. I took it to the snow last weekend, I didn't take many pics though. I have been busy with work the last couple months, I finally starting to get some parts stocked up, hopefully I will get time to work on it...

88Rokyoat · « **Reply #161 on:** Feb 26, 2013, 09:23:41 PM »

Next on the list is a 1-wire GM alternator, Yellow top optima, Davez no death wobble front shackles and about 40 feet of tube...

OldGold3VZE · « **Reply #162 on:** Feb 27, 2013, 06:39:50 PM »

Just 40 ft?

88Rokyoat · « **Reply #163 on:** Feb 28, 2013, 08:14:50 AM »

Yeah I'm just finishing off the bumpers and extending the sliders for now. All the current tube work was from the previous owner. I am going to re do the cage closer to summer. Hopefully. Baby steps...

maybe we can go wheeling this year?

88Rokyoat · « **Reply #165 on:** Mar 19, 2013, 08:13:19 PM »

I'm down. I hoping to get a few trips on this summer.

I got a few hours of work done today. I am re-doing the front bumps. The other ones were way too hard! The new ones mount different and were a different size. I got one side done today, built the new mounts and plated the top of the spring perch.

88Rokyoat · « **Reply #166 on:** Mar 19, 2013, 08:25:11 PM »

I also got new shackles on the front.

My old ones are for sale. frame bushings included only a couple months old.
$25 in Chico, CA

88Rokyoat · « **Reply #167 on:** Mar 20, 2013, 10:36:40 AM »

Old shackles are sold!

valon5150 · « **Reply #168 on:** Mar 20, 2013, 08:24:41 PM »

how long were your old shackles?

88Rokyoat · « **Reply #169 on:** Mar 20, 2013, 08:38:32 PM »

5" same as new ones.

daniresch · « **Reply #170 on:** Mar 21, 2013, 10:36:15 AM »

I haven't seen these bump stops, where did you find them?

88Rokyoat · « **Reply #171 on:** Mar 21, 2013, 10:44:53 AM »

I Got them on eBay. They are made my energy suspension should be pretty easy to find.

88Rokyoat · « **Reply #172 on:** Mar 26, 2013, 10:20:50 PM »

Finished off the passenger side bump today. Picking up the tubing in the morning to finish off the front bumper and built a new rear bumper.

88Rokyoat · « **Reply #173 on:** Mar 27, 2013, 08:49:10 PM »

I got the front bumper finished off today. It's a pain in the ass trying to get everything straight by yourself but I think it came out pretty good. I also extended the sliders about 4" per side. It was a lot of work for a few inches. But it's better this way.

88Rokyoat · « **Reply #174 on:** Mar 27, 2013, 08:51:52 PM »

Here is a before and after of the sliders. Sleeved 1.5 over 1.25" .120 wall.

88Rokyoat · « **Reply #175 on:** Apr 03, 2013, 07:21:13 PM »

Phase 1 of the rear bumper. I'm going to order the parts tomorrow for the swing out.
