Ok, so away from the engine and back to the current work at hand.
So, here is the basic run down. Trying to flex this thing to make sure everything clears. This is how far I've gotten so far. Trying to get creative and not kill myself. The good: Everything clears so far, it has a ton of flex (so much I couldn't get it fully flexed). The bad: Because it has so much flex I maxed out the hoist and couldn't keep going. Basically, I didn't really accomplish much. Yes, everything clears right now, but there is still a lot of flex left in it. Going to get (more) creative to see if I can get more out of the lift. I'm thinking I will have to get it out of the garage as well to make this happen.
Anyways, I didn't get pictures of anything else yet, but the rear drive shaft is in, the front drive shaft is shortened and ready to install, and hood is sudo cut but will need more cut off. I cut it enough to get it closed, but I still need to finish it off so it all lines up.
Hit a minor hiccup though. I ordered a 1310/1350 conversion joint for the front shaft, but the yoke on the axle is a 1330 yoke. Going to have to get myself a 1310/1330 conversion joint so I can install the front shaft.
So, whats left? Brake lines, fuel lines, Evap install, lights, front drive shaft install, putting everything in the engine bay together, and lots of paint. Going to make an attempt to get a lot done on this over the next week or so. I need another good weekend so I can pull all the body stuff off and paint it all at the same time. Should be on the trail soon I hope, but we will see. My schedule is always changing, so I am defiantly not trying to make any predictions on when it'll be done.
Oh, and before you say it Nate... Yes, I need bigger tires.
