rear body mounts (4 Viewers)

I had heard of doing that with York compressors.

So it looks like I am moving into the next phase.

SO STOKED

Got some work to do first!

Since I have done the rear sill already on my other, that will be the first to tackle. Gotta build some confidence up.
Lucked out with some floorboards form the Legend, gonna redo the sliders to make them into air tanks. A bit worried about the rear floor. Looks kinda complicated.

Gonna be asking lots of questions. Hope y'all dont mind. I am going into some new terrain for sure, but stoked.

Did I say that I was stoked!

First all metal work then dash, sound and heat, roofsupports, door latches , and oh my so much more!!!

So, what's the plan, fix this body then move it to the other frame or just build this one from ground up.

AAAUUUGHH I am torn but my latest trend is that I will be going 5.3 H55
oute. The milage/cool factor with the diesel R2.8 is so tempting. but the price and lack of enough power and that everyone that I have spoken with, even Torfab, who has done the R2.8 conversion, says do the 5.3.


By the way I am always reading others posts and stealing ideas. So please just take it as a compliment if I shamlessly copy you ideas!

Zero chance I would ever do that Cummins swap over a 5.3

That said the last time I really really looked hard it the NV4500 to split case made more sense than 5.3 to h55

 

[xtiaan2000]

Got the h55 in my garage already.

A pic of toys!

Took this off. And wonder if anyone wAnted it. Dealer or P.O. put on with screws! Seems pretty strong. But gonna toss it

Rear body mounts! I’m back never thought I would have to do this again!
This is how my post began!

It’s not a full circle, but a climbing spiral... you might have been at this same XY, but your at a higher Z...

 

[xtiaan2000]

Just picked up some of this stuff. Been poaching info from other posts!
How would this stuff work with
Por15? I have used Por 15 in alit of my other stuff and it seems to seal pretty well.

 

[RUSH55]

Like the other weld-through primers, it’s probably necessary to sand off any exposed primer to lay down paint. Pretty sure POR 15 prefers to start from bare substrate, but read the instructions on what it’s compatible being sprayed over.

Coyote Flats this last weekend. Was worried about how the rig would run at 11k elevation, but ran like a chief. The trail started 5 hours away and still I got home without having to get any tools out! I will have to do a once over just to be sure tho.

 

[RUSH55]

That’s what it’s all about right there!

 

[scrapdaddy]

Got that right!
