Engine rebuild

[thedave360]

So, I've been working on rebuilding my 92 4.0. I have a bunch of other pictures, mostly lame ones of the tear down for my reference. I figured I'd post this one as it sits now....ready to get put back in the engine bay. My neighbor has a powder coating shop, so I went a little crazy with Caterpillar Yellow.

 

 

More to come as the project progresses!

Thanks guys! Hopefully I'll finally be able to get the engine back in the truck this weekend. The rest of the truck doesn't look very great as of now. My avatar is how it looked when I bought it. As of now, this is what it looks like

 

 

Below is the custom back bumper. I had a local shop fab me some heavy duty brackets.

 

 

Eventually, I'm going to paint it flat black, add a receiver hitch to the back bumper, powder coat the bumpers and rims CAT yellow to match the engine, and a headache rack/rollbar in the bed behind the cab to store the spare tire, gas cans, and jack.

 

I plan to get a winch mounted to a plate so I can plug it in to either one of the front or back hitches. I also plan on doing a snorkel and a dual battery setup.
