Finished up the wiring harness and everything works as designed! Lights, hazards, fan, wipers, directionals, everyting! I then went and installed my front axle. I Martacked the axles, rebuilt the birfs, and now just waiting for rotors.

I installed the rear 4" springs. This will result in removing the 29" highway tires for some 32" Super Swampers.

I'm on my way to garage to install the fronts.

Washed it today. Spent the last week testing out the newly installed 4" lift on whatever trail, fire road, mud puddle, etc. I could find. Stoked on the end result.

I went with the Safari 4.5" lift from MAF. It's still a little stiff, but I'm pretty happy with it so far. Definitely like the way it looks.

It barely makes it in the garage. I have to manually release the door and push it up all the way. Already s****ed the hardtop a couple times when I forgot to push the garage door up all the way.

I finally got around to swapping in my new-rebuilt '69 dizzy...I been running the old one for 10 years or so and decided I needed a trailspare. So I had Mark A. bring me one of his rebuilds with the pertronix already in it. At SnT...back in November. So then I had two identical dizzys which is what I wanted. After I got those swapped, I took my old dizzy over to a new guy's (Mark) house. Met him at last month's Sacramento Rubicon Tuesday...at DeVeeres. He said he was having trouble with a 40 so I gave him my number. We put my trailspare dizzy in the 40, ran better but not great. So I came back the next day, earlier in the day, and we swapped the Pig's carb onto his 40. Ran pretty perfect. So we took apart his carb again and fiddled with it, gave him a spare accelerator pump plunger...runs a lot better but still needs a ported vacuum port...
Then, I decided it was high time I swapped in the new power steering pump and waterpump that I have been carrying around for the last 6 months. I had adjusted the squeaks out of them, so there was no rush, and they had both been replaced under warranty, 'cause they were squeaking...I said. Traded in very old, not-even-trail-spare quality parts as cores...
While I had both pumps out, I took a couple pics of my Mark A. power steering pump mount...that doesn't work with the Scout box 'cause they bump into each other...that I've been promising to take for Mark A. so he can make me a new mount that will work with a Scout box on a '55. And maybe 45s too.
And then, when I got both pumps in and plumbed, I started it up...and there was a great squealing and even smoke. So I turned it off.
Seems the waterpump wasn't turning. So I took it all apart again, except for the powersteering pump of course, looked at the waterpump, couldn't see anything wrong with it and put it back on. With lots more black RTV this time.
Works fine now. Squeaks & leaks are gone. Put that sweet new powersteeringpump pulley, from IPOR on as well. I'll take a pic of that, to qualify as tech...

[sls019]

Got all the random body parts organized and put up. Getting ready to buy a welder, so bodywork can begin. I will be starting with all new suspension(4" lift springs). Then on to mini-truck disc brake swap.
