I called the body shop today and he claims that he will have the front clip painted this weekend. So maybe the truck won't go to a storage unit after all. |

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Update time. I decided that the CR is on hold and more than likely isn't going in this truck. I had some money saved up to buy parts for the CR, but reevaluated things and this is what happened. We'll continue the CR build and stuff it in something later. For now, I dug my 24v out and got the front gear housing swapped out. The engine is ready for paint, but I'll do that after I build my turbo piping. I spent my slush fund on the Longhorn. :lol: I tried to get the big ticket items I needed to get it drivable. Here's what I got:
Nitro shocks Steering block for the D60 DIY4X shackle flip and spring perches for the rear axle HD hydraulics for the clutch Billet tappet cover for the engine I'll post pics when things arrive or I get the power plant sat back in the truck. I spoke with the body man and it's same crap there. Supposed to have my front clip done this past weekend, now it's back to this Friday. I just might have the truck running before he gets my front clip done. I better get the box done so he can set it in the corner for a few months. |

i could have so hooked you up with a steering block and the shackle reversal if i had known. i happen to know of at least one of each just laying around collecting dust. with a few tweaks the shackle mounts i made for my truck would be reversals too... good luck with the final push ryan |

Great to see your making head way....looks like you have lots of parts....very cool ride . Can't wait to see you get this thing finished..... |
Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Hey Ryan, where do you find the valve cover without a sheeps head on it? I will need one and was just wondering. You should pay your paint guy like he gets your work done, if it takes him 3 months for example pay a little here and there for the 3 months after its done. Maybe he will get the hint. :lol:

Good news, my body man claims my front sheet metal is hung and he either will seal them tonight and spray tomorrow, or do it in the same order on Friday night. I'm guessing Friday night/Saturday morning. :lol: |
