As if I did not have enough projects in process, I have now added one more. Meet Betty White. Betty is my buddy Rob's 1995 FZJ80 that came into his possession with a blown motor. She is in excellent condition overall with the paint being notably better than either of my rigs. To remedy the failed ticker, Rob procured a 2009 Chevy 2500 with a Gen3 6.0 LS and a 6L90 transmission. The truck was stripped of its vitals and they were then transplanted into Betty. This swap is very close to my LS with the exception of the transmission and brakes. While mine has the 6L80 from a 2013 Camaro SS, Rob's runs the 6L90 from the aforementioned 3/4 ton truck and Rob is running a full Hydro-Boost brake system. I'll get into the details of the differences in a future post. I have a good bit to say about this build and am looking forward to diving in after I get a few other ToDos knocked out.
For now, here are some terribly framed pics of the rig. Don't judge me, I was at the end of a 20 hour drive from Arkansas.
