Very glad you have this back.

Is the stock fueling system really able to keep up with 7 pounds!? (And if not I'll soon have some leftover unburned pistons)

BTW ... not a great time for me to help wrench ... out of town with family. save some stuff to do.

He actually turned it down to 4psi At 7 lbs it was leaning out. Showing about 235 at the wheels on his dyno. So about 335 at the crank. Very conservative. So yeah turning and stopping straight are a good thing to focus on now - good call Jason.

Here ya go. Couldn't resist blinding the wife at the end.

Had to line them up for the first time.

Then I worked on the skid plates. Transmission one will need to be modified - diff angle is too steep to clear the cutout.

 

[jamesurq]

Then I spent a good portion of today putting together the flat pack furniture nightmare that is a Prinsu Designs Roof Rack.

No instructions. None really needed. Pretty intuitive just time consuming. Finally got it done and mounted up.
And it's dark.

Next steps:
Slight exhaust rattle -to fix
Rear bumper/swing out install
Modify the transmission skid plate/install
Stereo/cb/Speakers/Lighting/Cameras/screens
And in a couple months:
Injectors
ECU

I'm gonna do more in 2 weeks than has been done in 12 months.

Until you throw your back out trying to mount the spare tire.

Glad to see it back in the driveway. Looking forward to Xmas party.

Thanks to @Rice @jfz80 and @fj40z for the help today. My s***ty tools just weren't up to the task so we relocated to Rice's garage where tools are functional and organized.

Bumper went on fairly smoothly once threads in the frame were cleaned out and welded in a replacement for one captive bolt that had de-threaded itself.

Fender flares had to come off for the bumper but I'm planning on cutting them to fit and reattaching them. Hopefully the three of you got better pics than me!

Just realized I didn't even get a shot of the finished bumper.

 

[jfz80]

Here ya go
