Pete M Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 I like the old school graphics. :D nice lookin' truck! :thumbsup:
Drahcir495 Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 I have always been a fan of those lights on the roof :thumbsup: . Good job on lift - it looks really good. And welcome to Comanche Club! :cheers:
HOrnbrod Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 :agree: Welcome to the club, and it's lookin very good. Like your buddy Boston terrier too! Teach him/her to fetch tools yet? :cheers:
garyindiane Posted September 26, 2009 Author Posted September 26, 2009 Thanks for all the positive feedback. I still have a metric ton of stuff to do to this rig. The list: Skids Swing out tiregate In cab guage for the OBA Double sheer Track bar and mount( I don't trust the rusty's one ). Alignment Cherokee doors Bed liner the inside cab and bed Maybe bucket seats winch setup The list goes on and on... Ps. The only thing the dog will fetch is 8 foot long tree branches. Not kidding :nuts:
garyindiane Posted September 26, 2009 Author Posted September 26, 2009 I don't have any new pics of the truck. Work has been to busy, But I have some work pics ya'll can stare at. BTW thats all Stainless :D Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found I work maintencace for a company that paints military vehicle parts. The first pics are of a washer we built. The outhers are of a paint pump I built. -gary
BlueXJ Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Interesting. I had a buddy a few years back who painted helicopters for the Navy and Air Farce. That was in Georgia.
500 MJ Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 When I first got my 4.5 packs from Rusty's my rear sat REALLY high, WAY over 4.5 inches. This is even after I took the lowest leaf out of them: Now the leaf is back in. After two years and alot of loads of firewood I'm probably now riding at the advertised 4.5 height... Some guys on here are having problems with them breaking, so far mine have held up OK and they are nice and supple for good articulation. Truck looks good, all the Best on the rest of the buildup. - Brent

garyindiane Posted October 1, 2009 Author Posted October 1, 2009 Well I recieved my full guage panel I got off e-bay. It was advertized as 88 to 91, and it is a 92 to 96. :mad: Mine Image Not Found The wrong one Image Not Found Side by side Image Not Found I am so pissed right now. I already had the new sending units. :fs1:
reson46 Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Well I recieved my full guage panel I got off e-bay. It was advertized as 88 to 91, and it is a 92 to 96. :mad: Obviously he has no idea what he is talking about. You need an '87 to '90 cluster. A '91 cluster is not the same as the '87 to '90 clusters. :nuts: Willy
500 MJ Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 You can usually find them in yards fairly easy...
garyindiane Posted October 4, 2009 Author Posted October 4, 2009 Some pics of the OBA setup. It consist of a some twin cylinder belt driven compressor my boss gave me. It does real well, and it stays pretty cool. The check valve and relay/pressure switch are from viair. 85 PSI on 110 PSi off. Front bumper is my tank. I still want to get a air manofold to clean everything up.

BPB Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Do you plan on adding protection for your front corners?
garyindiane Posted October 9, 2009 Author Posted October 9, 2009 Do you plan on adding protection for your front corners? No not at the moment. Basically anything I encounter on a front corner will hit the tire first, or it will hit the center bumper section which is nice for my approach angle. I would like to add a center skid plate to protect my draglink and swaybar. I am more concerned with high centering it. I need to fab up some rocker armor. -gary
garyindiane Posted October 17, 2009 Author Posted October 17, 2009 Here is some more pics. I finally got my gauges. Some shots of me wheeling with my buddy in his bronco.

Imatation is the Blah blah blah. ;) On to the pics Swing out tailgate. Image Not Found Image Not Found Checking for fit. Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found I am pretty happy with it. I need to mount it and check everything. Then I can take it back to work to have it sandblasted and painted. And here is some tool porn. :D New tool crib at work.

garyindiane Posted October 31, 2009 Author Posted October 31, 2009 Ok. I started another project ( like I needed one ). It's a cargo basket that fits flush in between the bed rails. I made it so I can store all my gear and haul wood at the same time. Kinda like a roof rack for the bed. Still need to put a floor in it and have it blasted and painted. I really wanted to get rid of that POS plastic toolbox. so here is the pics. 55"X24". 3/8 poop pipe. 2"X1/4" Flat. Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found So what da ya'll think? :thumbsup: Or :no: Sorry about the crapy pics. -Gary

garyindiane Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 Awesome idea! I just might steal it for my 90. :D Hey, that's why were all here to learn and share ideas. :cheers: -Gary
BJA814 Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 I like it! Would go great under the topper of my rig.
garyindiane Posted November 8, 2009 Author Posted November 8, 2009 Finished the rack thing install. I used 3/8 eye bolts so I could use them a tie down points. I had some help from my lovely wife :D She even changed the oil :bowdown: Image Not Found Image Not Found -Gary
garyindiane Posted January 21, 2010 Author Posted January 21, 2010 Just a update since it has been a while. The beast is down for maintenance. The pukegoet slave finally gave up the ghost. So I am in the process of doing a lot of work to it. New slave cylinder New clutch master All new lines Clutch plate Pressure plate All new u-joints in both shafts New lower shift boot Some exhaust work I found a freeze plug leaking. So I am installing a block heater in its place. Pic Image Not Found IRO adjustible double sheer track bar and bracket Viair OBA guage panel Hopfully soon I will have this thing on the road.
