That's the dream. Oil analysis says it should be fine. Might get the transmission fluid tested soon. With all the weak-points in the cooling system sorted out (heater tees, hoses, radiator, and such) hopefully it shouldnt be a problem. Would make this car a hell of a value bargain if I can even get even another 200K.Good for another 500k miles!
Nice job!
It's custom ($140). I looked into buying online but did not like the coverage and the finish.
There was a guy on here previously selling them. Crawlorado was the name if I remember. I think they were like $85 or something.
Here's where you can get one for $89.99....

I’m not much help but would have come over to lend a hand had I known. I’m just over the mountain in the sticks beyond crozet.
Not today but over the last two weeks. Started out stock with non functioning AHC.
New OME lift and AHC delete, diff drop, bumpers (front and rear), wheels and tires, ball joints, tie rod ends. Now all it needs is a bath and alignment. Still haven’t driven it yet. Gotta install winch and wire the lights in bumpers. Oh and find a matching spare wheel/tire.

What rear bumper is that? Looks good.
I hadn't noticed any issue prior. Looking back at local almanac info the temp would've been ~40-45F. Snapped this photo of my hand -after- the blood had returned to my fingers. I still have a scar on my middle finger...

My hood looked like the Duke boys used it to slide over. Cost me about $20 to do mine with plastidip. Tempted to a do a 100 watt flexible solar panel on there.
Replaced my OME shocks with adjustable Tough Dogs. I was able to notice an appreciable difference in the ride...it’s still not a Caddy but definitely improved.

I have seriously considered that option. Was wondering if anyone had tried it. Results look promising.
Ok this is more I’m doing this right now...I’m installing some Old Man Emu springs 2865, now everything I see says that these are for 1.5” lift medium duty up...are they really shorter than the OE springs...everything was stock on this vehicle or at least shocks were and I thought springs....is that for real? So are they are stronger compression?
Took off OME shocks and installed Tough Dog 41mm fronts and 45mm adjustable rears from @TRAIL TAILOR . Still have the OME 865 medium springs.
So far so good. Fixed some crazy squeaking and a much less tooth-rattling ride.
Hard to get a good shot of the rears installed.

Higher spring rate of the new springs means they won't compress as much with the same weight. So, even though it seems counter-intuitive, you'll still see more height out of the shorter springs (in this case).
That’s what I figured but I just wanted to make sure. I check height after wards and it’s makes sense.
Those are nice, who makes them? From appearances the look to be 16” as well... can you post a link to the website?
That’s a pricey pump. Curious about your tires? Are the 295/75R16? Any other pictures of them on your LC?
