Haha Yea it is alittle big! :twisted: lol its about 2500lb? I cant remember i weighed it and all i recall is that it had 1250 lbs of tong weight so the tong weight isnt bad! I didnt have my air shock on there so those would of helped out a lot! But plans are work on it every weekend. I've only got another week here in boise and then im moving back to lewiston, and im not that far from home from there so ill work on it on the weekends or i thought about renting a shop but i dont got the money for that right now. :lol: Wants and dreams, just need money and time to do them. :lol:

gonna have it hot tanked, bored a minimum over... probably just ten or twenty thousandths..
i want to boost it later on down the line so i need the best cylinder surface i can get and some good quality rings
also going to need the crank turned down, its pretty bad... this thing had some nasty oil in it for a very long time
gonna take it down there next week and few more weeks until i can get the rebuild kit for it with pistons

these things are always gonna be never ending projects always another thing you end up wanting to do :lol:
will be nice to get it done and on the road doing its thing 8)
any more thought on what type of diesel you want to swap into it later?

Well its been a while since i posted. Not a lot of new. been pretty busy when i come home on the weekends. But i got a couple hours to work on it last night. Got some carpet in and some other stuff done. :twisted:

I had to buy a new car. (well used) I lost 5th in my infiniti and the car just isnt worth fixing. and I cant find a used tranny on on craigslist or on carparts.com. So i went in a found a 93 saturn sc1 two door with a sunroof and with working A/c! that will be a new thing for me! haha 8)

8) I think so to! I'm gona try to find some blacked out lenses and see what blacked out ones would look like! I dont really care for the "blacked out look" so i really ant trying to go after that look. The Paint is great! Lots of man hours in that! haha and I havent really thought much about it at this point. I'm not sure, In my diesel power mags i get theres talk of a V6 cummins that sounds pretty sweet! but I thought about just goin V8 but at this point i just want to drive it and run the V6 for now. I've got ideas just need a shop and place to do it. I'm living in my camper in lewiston and my luv is at my parents place and i can only work on it on the weekends. But i got ideas for it and my Bronco II. When i find a house with a garage I'm gona really start rockin & rollin on ideas for it! :twisted:

Well to many projects, my buddy wrecked his 90 jeep xj and told me if I helped him remove all the parts he wanted he would give me the d30 out of it so I started to straight axle my 89 broncoii. I got some of the front end together and I got the side marker lights wired up, the ranger didn't have plugs like luvs did. So i had to buy plugs from Napa. But its starting to go together once again :D . :) pictures in a minutes.
