Plugging away at an in tank pump install.

So is this something that you will do once in a lifetime kind of thing?

I’m no pro, but I have most of the right tools for the job. Took me about 4 hours to tear down the first one and get it cleaned up enough that I could reassemble if looks didn’t matter. Second one took just a little more than an hour to tear down.

Now, I’m in the deep cleaning phase, because I’m going to paint everything and make it look new before I reassemble it.

Here’s my timeline.
Day 1: An evening of learning and wallowing in grease as I tear down the first one.
Day 2: go to the store for more rubber cloves, paper towels and a gallon size tub of grease…. Tear down the second side with remarkable ease, now that I know how it’s done. Clean, clean, clean. Mask and paint.
Day 3: assembly and celebration (hopefully. Ask me tomorrow)

Beer helps the process along.

Guess I will have to wait a year to do it then

Out with the old rear locker (pictured) and in with an arb unit. Drives so much better now, should've done this years ago!

Without... for such clean truck. Like a useful staff on the truck....

With. Haters are going to hate. Just jealous because they can’t find one.

I am reinstalling one back on mine. With. Yours is a bit taller than the one I am using I think.

@85roktoy …..your rig your decision…you asked for opinion and boy oh boy do we on mud have opinion.
I am trying to think of something gulf coast to help you out.,,
Bikini vs cover up….while I prefer and love the bikini….the cover up is pretty damn good as well and I sure as hell will not complain about a cover up.

I find that statement true with no other context.

Nice looking cruiser you've got there! What size tires are those? Looks like they fit the wheel wells nicely.

Thanks! 235 85 16

Just sent Dave an email on availability. If others are interested, maybe we can see if he will do a limited run.

I would keep the brush guard. I kept breaking my turn signals and bending the fenders and was not because of trees.
