Edit: Always thought a table of contents would be useful on build threads, will try and keep updated as I go through:
Body work - 1-4
Harness - 2 (bottom line, have someone else do it, there is some voodoo in there that is best left to experts)
Steering - 3 & 8 (4x4 labs)
Brakes - 3, 5, wilwood MC4s on p9
TOB - 4 (Howes Racing)
J70 leafs - 6 & 7 (ARB)
Tail gate handle repair - 8
Bumper 9 & 10
PS lines discussion - 11
Fuel - start 11
Transmission tunnel fitting - 13
Air box, shocks - 13
move to Yukon and let pig sleep for 18 mos - 14&15
Start of original thread:
I thought I would get a build page going even though the project, at least for the next little while, will be really slow. In the last year I have managed to find a 1976 crusty pig, a JDM 1UZ engine, a r150 transmission, and my favorite item that just arrived yesterday, a set of NOS front fenders. The plan is to keep the tub and interior fairly stock, but probably do a SOA.
This pig is currently in a pen, quite literally at the moment, and will come home once I tell my wife I bought another project. In the meantime, I am starting on the wiring harness, I despise working on electrical and this project so far is just reinforcing that... Anyway, before you ask, here are the pictures (if the pig is familiar, it's because I posted a few pics last year when I first got it):
