    Power Steering Pump Rebuild.."while I'm in there"

    My PS pump rebuild required the seals, hoses and the bearing while I was in there. No real advice on the gear box, seems not necessary though...

    Fast forward to today. Ive been having some issues with the rebuilt PS pump moaning real bad, that and the OG alternator has not been consistently putting out 14v when idling. I guess what’s another $500 at this point anyway... Also since the weather was nice and since I was already...

    I then cleaned all the door panels, conditioned the leather and installed some pioneer 6.5” coax speakers. Lastly I attached some LS400 sun visors I found on eBay.

    The passenger rear window was completely out of the track and someone tried to super glue it in. Again all new window track gaskets and window runners to the rescue. Since two of the vapor barriers were shredded I bought new OEM ones and also some 3M black goop for attaching them. I...

    Now on to rehabbing the doors and power windows. The driver door was an absolute mess. Found a broken window track which made the window loose Someone has obviously been in here before trying to fix the window, this previous weld melted the window retention rubber Welded and ground the...

    Before buttoning up the dash I installed a Blue sea 12v outlet where the cigarette light was and a 4.8A USB charger where the rear heater switch was. I also tossed in a Ram ball for later use All plastics cleaned, conditioned and put back together In the rear I installed a mountain hatch...

    Kind of jumping around here but this is how I work on stuff... Before I installed the new carpet kit I put down some double sided carpet tape so the insulation doesn’t shift around. All trimmed up but what a pain if you don’t have the original carpet to copy the pattern from... Then I by...

    Couple repairs as I installed the leathers, first founds some back pack cord keepers for the back mesh pockets. A spring in driver seat was broken so I tacked it back together. Also the back panel was tore up so I glued in a reinforcement. Not too bad once all the leathers were...

    But before installing the new leathers I took the foam bottoms to the local upholstery shop to rebuild the bolsters and add some burlap to the underside. Then I steamed the foam and fixed some areas where the wire busted through the foam

    Next I started in on the front seat rehab, what a mess the front seats were, passenger side had a stripped gear and a bad forward/ backward switch and the driver recline switch stud was broken off. Some new gears and a used passenger switch off eBay to the rescue. I installed the new...

    Even though it’s been awhile since I posted I have been putting time into finishing this truck. Going back a couple months ago I ran a 6AWG and a couple 14 AWG wires for various electrical accessories I have planned. Before laying down some sound deadening I plugged all the third row seat...

    Thanks! I use to build VW’s when I was in high school so “sano” is totally in my vernacular. I went with the progressive springs, the part numbers are: C59-614V 4” Front C59-615V 4” Rear I also installed 30mm spacers up front. But you’re right, these may not make the final cut. It drives...

    The last few weekends I’ve been trying to catch up on some busy work. Since it looked like the previous owner sprayed a 2-liter of soda all over the interior I scrubbed dash, all the panels and then the filthy head liner. I’ll spare you the pictures of the brown bucket water. Then I wire...

    To fit the front bumper I had to grind on the top of the chassis rails and cut the bottom corners out of the core suppprt. I also cut and bent the ac canister bracket to angle it out of the way.

    Truck has been running good except for the rebuilt power steering pump, it sequels really bad until it warms up, need to try bleeding it some more I guess. Also my bumpers showed up so time to get cutting. Bolted up nice and easy. Then I bolted up the spare carrier, too bad the didn’t...
