89eliminator

Making slow progress as of late Due to clearance with the steering box and LS power steering pump along with the overall alternator height, I picked up some brackets to relocate all of that. Pump is sucked in closer to the engine centerline and the alternator is much lower. I also picked up a winters sidewinder shifter. Biggest remaining puzzle piece is the harness.

Willy has always provided me inspiration for my build. His 88 is one of my favorites.

Test fit of the Novak mounts. Seem to fit up really nice

Got the 4.0 out. Will start tearing into the 5.3 next and clean it up as well.

i appreciate the dedication on bringing this thing back to life. i remember following the original build thread.

Been slowly collecting parts. Plans are to LS swap it. Got a 5.3 out of an 01 Silverado along with 2wd 4L60. Just started the tear down process of yanking to the 4.0 and prepping the 5.3. Will be running s10 headers and Novak mounts.

i run this in my wheeler https://www.amazon.com/ARKSEN-Aluminum-TruckBed-Trailer-Organizer/dp/B07YBSM43V/ref=sr_1_17?keywords=arksen&qid=1675955532&sr=8-17&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.f5122f16-c3e8-4386-bf32-63e904010ad0

that thing is cool and scary all at the same time lol.

verified purchaser

thats impressive

thats an awesome collection of words lol

I have never had that issue.

he sold it a long time ago

totally agree that people have done it but the everyday person isnt throwing coilovers and/or bypasses on their MJ lol.

in my opinion pre-runner and rock crawler suspensions are pretty different. so may want to pick a direction and go that route.

i noticed better throttle response right away. between that and the peace of mind of having a rev limiter on the renix, id definitely do it again.

i bought a rig out of GA that (long story short) had no title. I lived in Carroll County at the time but i would assume its the same for any county in IN. You have to file for a court ordered title. There are are a few forms to fill out, with one needing a visual VIN inspection buy an authorized person (the office in my neighborhood was able to do it). I had to have a public notification in the local paper that I was attempting to file for a new title, and then I had to go in front of a judge for it. I had to describe how I purchased the vehicle, with proof, along with what measures I took to try and get the title from the PO. Every one of these items costs various amounts of money. After you do all of this, you can then officially submit for a new title that they will send in the mail. Knowing what I know, I would never buy a rig without a title. It was way too much of a hassle and many trips to the BMV/city hall.

these were yukon chromoly. probably getting replaced with the same since these held up for quite a while and it broke by me being dumb.

i had to go through the process of getting a title in IN. it was about a 3 month process and i had to go to court as well.

Had a little oopsie last weekend. Long side outer shaft.

sadly no i don't. i ran them like 12 years ago lol.

i think you'll still have big issues with the shackle swinging forward. something is really not right. i ran the 4.5" rustys springs many moons ago and they werent even close to that bad in relation to the shackle angle.

that would surprise me as the unibody rails get vastly different after the stock trans crossmember location.

they help keep the coil seated depending on how much travel you have.

Did they mention anything about the belly pan fitment?
