The soon to be build of "Jasmine"

[julstirn]

ok, so im brainstorming on what to do with cruiser. In the mean time I am getting rid of every bit of junk i dont need. What can I remove in the engine bay??? I dont use ac, so what can i get rid of?

 

[retrofive]

EGR and Pair System removed yet?

 

[retrofive]

Rear heat and all that?

Interesting development.

 

[julstirn]

nothing removed so far, you have any links to how to remove this stuff. Im looking at that cooler thing that hangs down by front bumper and know its for the ac, which i do not use. Im gonna do a bunch come Tuesday or Wednesday. I need to clean up my garage first and build some shelves, then as i tear down i have a place to put things.

No links off hand but if you search I'm sure you will find stuff.

x2, Lots of threads on deleting pair, heater, ac, egr. Just start searching around. No thread comes directly to mind.

So today I was thinking I should just leave her as is and do a little trimming and just wheel her. So I started cutting the rear quarters off............... then I said f**k it and started taking her apart. Well see where this leads. No real plan yet, im just going to kinda wing it.

 

[julstirn]

Little bit of chopping, one battery operated sawzall works but not great. Tmrw new blades and angle grinder from store.

 

[Wrench]

Wow. Interesting to see where this goes. Is that a dog or cat?

I am off to store today to get wood to build up the garage a bit. Maybe even some tools.

I might end up putting them back on the oem wheels but threw them on some other ones I had laying around for now.

The sliders are from trail gear and are not meant for an 80 but they worked, I think I am going to chop out the rockers anyway and add in some 2x4 steel.

I had an ARB on there and its big and bulbous. I hit a little tree and dented in side wing. I was disappointed and decided that it was not the bumper for me. I am going with tube I believe. I am either going to steal the design and make a full tube bumper like Nays or just do the winch plate setup. Below are some pics (stolen from mud) of what I am thinking of doing.

The truck is used and abused and I am constantly changing plans and revising plans as I wheel her more and more.

are you running spacers with those steel wheels?i want to get some like that but places i go say i have to run spacers.

 

[julstirn]

The wheels are not steel. Aluminum i believe. I just painted them real quick. No spacers. Im not even sure of the brand. They fit but did rub the caliper but grooved themselves out. What are you trying to run?
