CGCWO Posted September 13, 2021 Author Posted September 13, 2021 Got the brakes bled and drums adjusted. Brake light is on so I’ve still got some work to do.
Pete M Posted September 14, 2021 Posted September 14, 2021 I guess brakes are important too, but where's that winch?! do you still have the rear prop valve?

Winch is still in the box for now. Haven’t had a chance to get it in yet. No I deleted the rear prop valve and swapped in a YJ main prop block under the hood. Took it out for a 50 mile drive today. Did pretty good. Temp hovered between 198-206. Still not perfect, but held 55-65mph pretty good. Not bad for 3:55’s and 32x11.50 tires. Brake pedal did get a bit soft a couple of times and she wants to wander on rougher stretches of pavement. We are getting there though.

I went back and forth on colors and finish. This was a test and turned out pretty good. I painted the front clip a couple months ago from a different batch of paint than the rest so it’s just a tad lighter than the rest of the truck.
CGCWO Posted September 22, 2021 Author Posted September 22, 2021 Spent a few days a Barbers Motorsports Park. Toured the museum and watched the incredibly talented racers navigate the wet track all weekend. Now back to real life and getting INKY on the road. Found my brake problem, drivers side parking brake cable was frozen in engaged position. Got it freed up and brakes are now working properly.
scguy Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 Barber is incredible. My head hurt after leaving, there was so much amazing stuff to see.
GrandComanche Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Amazing job start to finish on your truck! That is one hell of a transformation. It looks great. I really like the body color with accents you went with. What is the decal on the hood of? Could you put up a close up photo?

CGCWO Posted September 28, 2021 Author Posted September 28, 2021 Winch mounted, still have to mount the control box and wire it up. Winch is an XBull 10k synthetic line. Tried to save as much of the front bumper and possible. What a pain in the @$$, started with a small hole and expanded it to fit the fairled slot.

What mount did you use?
CGCWO Posted September 28, 2021 Author Posted September 28, 2021 The mount is from BadDadFab it’s the BTSB (behind the stock bumper) mount. https://www.facebook.com/Baddadfab/

CGCWO Posted October 1, 2021 Author Posted October 1, 2021 Winch control box mounted. Decided to keep all the parts in the control box and mount where it was easily accessible in case I have problems with the. Wireless remote. Plus is it’s kind of protected by the brush guard.
CGCWO Posted October 12, 2021 Author Posted October 12, 2021 No photos, but made a huge change to INKY. Scored a ECU from @SatiricalHenComanche and swapped it into INKY, she love the new brain and is running better than ever. Seems my old ECU was a major part of my stumbling problem. Also replaced all the emergency brake cables and now I have working emergency brakes.
CGCWO Posted October 12, 2021 Author Posted October 12, 2021 Did a little color match to the gauge cluster bezel.
MiNi Beast Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 Blue on tan? Are you not a fan of that wood grain? 🤔
