New front U-Joints
Lift coils instead of home brewed coil Spacers
Front winch bumper and new rear one.
New LCA's
Nothin to major, just lookin for a fun, capable bush toy
(Pictures came off a 7.2 megapixel camera, don't think I had the settings right :-[)

Well I pulled the manifold off...biggest PITA job I have done so far (yes, that is including doing the waterpump)
Can anyone spot a problem? :D

Needless to say I am looking for a new manifold

Looks like you need to ease up on the whiskey when you're taking pictures...lol. Looks like a time sensitive project, have fun!
-
Haha not quite old enough to be drinkin the whiskey ;) Hopin to have it done within a month or 2

Put the new manifold. If you "massage" a little a H.O. manifold will bolt right up.
Also:
Bolted on some newer Rancho rs3000's,
Got my wiring working for the most part.
Cleaned throttle body,
Extended the wires on the O2 sensor so as they will work on a Cherokee downpipe.
Took about half as long to put the manifold in as it did to take it out 8)
Doesn't seem like much when I write it down, but it was all very time consuming.

ot a few things today:
Back bumper

And found a few older pics.
Pressure bottle converted to overflow for open cooling system conversion
(http://i42.tinypic.com/30m1tg8.jpg)
Possible gas tank being as I am running out of screws to fill the holes :D , will fit right in front of the fender.

Also got tranny back in, driveshafts in and downpipe on.
Aussie locker is on backorder so Stan at Northridge is giving me a lock right for the same price 8) Should be here monday.
Also Picked one of these up yesterday: 1988 Nissan 300ZX. Came with turbo parts motor ;D

And now for the recent:
-Couldn't get an Aussie due to them being on back order, but the guy gave me a lock right for the same price, it's installed in the carrier. But found out I needed new axle seals.
-Got the exhaust just about finished ned one more weld.
-Got most of the wirin done, P.O. lit it on fire and didn't bother rewiring lights.
-Found out my fuel pump is screwed, so I put a tank in out of an old cherokee
-Need a shift linkage for the AX15 due to using it elsewhere.
-Still need rear shock mounts.
-Re installed the closed cooling system again as the other radiator for open conversion leaked like crazy.
-Got some different LCA's due to P.O. "modifying them to minimize tire rub" ??? Pics when I swap them out.
Sorry for the lack of pics but cannot find the camera
And got it running tonight ;D Had to run new fuel pump wires, gas gauge still doesn't work?
