4x4 Chinook build/expedition maintenance

[Trail Outfitters]

Hey folks this is Scott with Trail Outfitters. We sold the 79' 4x4 Chinook about a month ago to a guy in Virginia.

Before he picks it up in early September and makes the long journey home we are going to take care of a few things for him.

Here goes:
Front axle rebuild with all new seals, bearings, rotors/calipers, Beefy tie rod with 80 series TRE's

Rear axle rebuild

2 1/2 inch OME lift kit

More than likely new u-joints

New fenders

Replacing rusty radiator support

Complete flush throughout the entire vehicle with new fluids and filters

Rerouting the annoyingly loud electric fuel pump from the engine bay to the rear of the rig

Maybe if we have time we can talk him into some armor!

Here are a few progress pics...

Out with the old...

And in with the new...

Rear axle...

New stance...

Now we need to get the new/old core support in and the reproduction fenders

I'm really loving how this is turning out. After my 3500 mile trip in it, this one will be hard to let go!

Looks cool. There been one for sale here (4X2) for a while. Its now under $1500 and very tempting. But SWMBO would not be happy - too many projects and too little time.

Some finished pictures. John, the new owner, is flying out on Sunday to pick her up. He will be doing the body and paint work on it when he gets home.
