Still bet you back on the road before me! And that's a good thing we need the Black and Tan Flagship all blinged up and rolling. Good luck.

Ah shucks

There's gotta be a nicer BT than mine out there...
I'm about 2 and a half weeks out all said and done.

I really can't wait to see yours done

 

[IndianDoc]

Not mine at least not now

After removal of the headliner noted two more rust areas on the roof and rain gutter area. So removal of metal and welding in new metal. Only way to go. Still think she looks forelorn without her wheels and undercarrage.

Quarter Pannel Vy Covers

For Kevin don't know why but he wanted a pic of the covers to the QP area not the opening.



Please ignore my ugly big toe!!

Real Tech Question

Not so much for now but for stage two mods. I have taken some photo's of the trans transfer case. It seems I remember in one of the threads that some talked about a spacer on the 85 year models in fererence to the H55 swap. Some did have the spacer from toyota and the h55 was a simple bolt in procedure. Others did not have the spacer and much more fabrication work was needed. I know from my research and reading the 4 85 is when this started but don't remember how to identify the situation. Any who some of you h55 swap gurus look and tell me your opinion. Thanks. BT 60 is a April 85 edition.

Photo two



Let me know lot of fab work or easy bolt in operation

Little Bannan's

Assembly of some items to give my arms and back a rest from all the grinding and wire brushing going on the roof and rear frame area.
So 4+ Battery box install






And the new air conditioner compressor.

 

[IndianDoc]

No Gas no roll

And the intake manifold headers and card.

Still Going Dry Fitting ARB and 4+ Bumpers

Well took a break from welding in new steel on the roof and rain gutter area. Dry fitted the ARB bumper, sliders and 4+rear bumper.

 

[IndianDoc]

more of the same

The rusty cross member gives it up to the torch, John my mechanical friend says hi



And the sliders, god these things are beefy!!



And the back of the ARB bumper where my future winch will live


Other than grinding and welding in small rust spots on the rood and rain gutter she is getting close to paint stage. More later. LOL

 

[Trapper50cal]

wow

This Truck is gonna be so BITCHIN!!

Nice work, its really taking shape!

 

[kevinmrowland]

Bolt in, you have the spacer.

You need to get rid of that rusty master cylinder and put one o those purty T100s in there, it detracts form all that glare on the manifolds.
Thanks for the vinyl pics, you can see the little 1/4 pie shapes I was talking about. Just to be clear, no wheel well trim, and no lans for a gas door cable, or aux wire harness on the passenger side?

You are a god u made my whole day yeah I have the spacer, the H55 sure looks better every minute.

Yes that is correct no wheel well trim , no lans for gas door cable or aus harness on the passenger side bare as a newborns butt.

Pm sent with other info, thanks thanks and oh thanks. By the way do you drink Scotch???

 

[IndianDoc]

Awwwwweeee stop it.

This Truck is gonna be so *****IN!!

Nice work, its really taking shape!

Master Cy

Kevin you are right that rusty master cy just looks crappy in the new born engine bay. Was going to wait and see the braking capabilities with the lift and the 35's and still may. But that ugly thing is right there taunting me every time I work on the BT. May have to do the brake change and 4 runner fronts and discs on the rear and new master in stage one. But indecision it's a killer. LOL

 

[Trapper50cal]

Well

Well,

you ain't gonna out bling me, saw kevin's tailgate storage on durangodds's rig today, (while looking at the big a$$ defender rack I'm gonna buy) and got on the list.

Out bling Ingrid perish the thought. She is our BT flagship and we bow to the blingness. Great that you are getting the tailgate storage, saw it on the other thread but for a change did not highjack. Kevin let me know that the transmission I have has the correct spacer for the conversion to H55 should be a simple bolt in operation. With that I now know that I am going to add the Marks low range gearing. So keep me posted how that goes on ingrid. Thanks Trapper Roof rack still thinking custon but d**n that ARB is nice.

That is going to be an amazing set up- 5spd with 55% reduction in 4 low and 8% overdrive on the 5spd will get you up to highway speeds at low r's...that's going to be so nice. The ARB is a nice rack, I can't wait to get choppin on the Defender rack and get the jack out of the truck not to mention the spare 35

you are going to be stoked with that 5spd (read: JEALOUS)
