I'm glad there is someone doing this level of work out there, because I'm surely not.

Phwew, been a long time coming.
Wanted to make sure everything was just right under the hood.
Jim Chenoweth 2F fired right up and runs like a champ.

Burning the paint off the manifold and down pipe first thing.




Hell yeah!

Thanks.
It's actually a diesel air cleaner .
The carb hat and connecting hose were off an overseas 2F with a factory fender mount air cleaner..

Well folks after 5 years she is finally done. Got it reregistered, insured, and inspected last week. Been a fun project.
The TLC Performance rebuilt 2F runs like a freakin top. Got about 60 miles on it so far running around locally just to make sure everything is tight before i take any road trips.

Just want to thank the MUD community for alot of help through the various tech threads and the all important classifieds.

Special thanks to-

and everyone else who i may have gotten parts from that escape my memory right now. lol

Why no original rear bumper?

The original was bent and rusty and can't hold a spare carrier.

Wow. Nice work, for a guy from Jersey.

IKID. She's spectacular. And you're brave, runnin' those splits.

They ride pretty damn good man.
My tire guy talked me out of balancing them and he made a good call i think. I feel nothing in the wheel. So far.
Probably because they are so damned heavy.

 

[Spike Strip]

I forgot to add, a balanced 2F is a wonderful thing. Revs effortlessly. Just wait 'til she's got 5K miles on her.... I'm sure Jim told you, but change the oil at 100 miles - 500 miles - 1000 miles. That's what MAFs engine builder told me to do, and so far it was great advice.

Have fun ! and more pix!

Looks spectacular!

Glad I can be a part of something like this. Makes it so worthwhile.

Now go out and get her dirty Joe!
