Excellent work. My rig would be much better off with hydroboost..
Thanks. I would say most 80s would be much better off with hydro boost installed.
 
Had a little bit of time yesterday so made some progress on exhaust. Combo of 4" oval and 4" round.

Apparently need to update this thread a bit. Not today though. Recently took a 5500 mile trip down/up Baja. Adjusting valves today.

Finally found a set of springs that gives good lift height for this pig (first day of previously mentioned 5500 mile trip she weighed 8420 lbs on certified scales). For that trip had a set of extreme weight dobinsons rears and old clapped out icon springs with 1" spacers. Pretty significant stinkbug stance with that setup. Put in dobinsons c97-484/5vt springs last night. Miles better stance and handling. The spring rate of the Icons was not at all conducive to the 5.9 Cummins (they were great with the 4bt in there before), these are nice. Look forward to seeing how they settle.

Tires are BFG KM3 37x12.5x17

Rig is on the lift for some upgrades so decided now was a good time to replace the radiator and a few other things.

Get everything stripped off the front of the motor to figure out how to fit bigger radiator and maybe pusher fans between it and ac.

@Outsane clued me in to this bigger radiator since the little 3 core isn’t cutting it.

putting together a bunch of lines for new power steering cooler and some of them are running through the front crossmember. don't like how they were rubbing on the corners of sheetmetal holes so printed up some snap together passthrough deals to solve the issue.

Getting rig ready for overland expo in Oregon this week. Due to fans not showing up in time had to put old radiator back in but added power steering coolers and removed ps fluid circuit from radiator. First drive home tonight and she’s plenty cool but was going pretty easy.
