Hey thanks Johnny. Bumper is from Jason at Trail Tailor. Got the idea for the oil filter from Doug720 and Longbow here on Mud. More to come on the bumper.

Looking good. A bunch of small steps add up!

 

[bluehawk]

thanks Doug, a lot of the small things add up quickly.

Is the bumper one of his DIY offerings?

Yes...It is one of Jason's DIY kits with tire carrier and ladder swing outs.

SHE RUNS, SHE RUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After three years, I finally got her started. Two small oil leaks but should be able to get them fixed easily. No fuel leaks. Im so excited

Thanks Jason. It sure feels good to finally get it started. Almost done with the bumper and then off to powdercoat. Thanks again.

That is very cool and I bet satisfying. Nice work, sounds really good.

The shut off arm was vibrating, you can shim that and it works well.

Soon the drive...

That's bad ass Ryan. Makes me want to put my sons gasser build aside and jump on the diesel build. All in due time.

Thanks Johnny, its a huge step forward. Still along way to go before it gets on the road. I feel better about it now that I know the motor will start.

 

[The Phoenician]

I remember that feeling. Congrats.

I remember that feeling. Congrats.

It is definitely a great feeling.

With some guidance from Jim (CenTXFJ60), got the two inner roof bows panel bonded in. Those are bags of cement, lol. With those and the weight, it's about 500 pounds of weight.

Nice work Ryan. You'll most likely get your headliner in before me. I'll be leaning on you for guidance when I tackle mine.

I probably will have someone do my headliner for me Jim. I don't mind doing body work and suspension but the headliner scares me.
