Mid week I cleaned the front wheels on the dually. They were pretty dirty between the lugs & center caps so I spent an hour or two doing some detail cleaning to remove the brake dust build-up & rust/corrosion off the lug nuts. Didn't have time for the rears yet.

I also swapped the impact-strip front bumper for another w/o the impact strip. I then removed the spare tire 'swing-out' carrier assembly & 4" exhaust tips so I would have better access to everything around the rear of the chassis when the time for dropping the suspension becomes available (exhaust tips didn't have to go.... I just wasn't a fan of them ;) ).

Friday, I swapped the master cylinder out & my buddy came by to help bleed the system. The pedal still isn't as good as I would like, but it no longer fades which is of more importance.

Put on new chrome strip along the rear window.

Re: What did you get done12/19/10 edition
 

I was supposed to be off the last week of the year & was hoping to get it done then. But, work is ramping up to meet consumer needs so it's looking like it's just going to wait until I can have @ least 2 solids days w/o distractions.... in 2011.

Any bites on yours?

Re: What did you get done12/19/10 edition
 

spent some time cleaning up my new aquisition, 99 2dr 2wd. Cleaned the carpets, buffed and waxed the exterior.....oh and listed it in the classifieds..lol;)

Re: What did you get done12/19/10 edition
 

Couple guys locally but I'm not gonna give it away. I dont NEED to sell so if I dont get what I want I'm going to hold onto it.

Re: What did you get done12/19/10 edition
 

Bought a tool box for the truck and worked on my garage. Also bought the house next door in preparation for my garage expansion.

Re: What did you get done12/19/10 edition
 

Got the old engine and tranny out!!

Re: What did you get done12/19/10 edition
 

I had my wisdom teeth pulled out on Friday morning. Just starting to feel semi normal Monday night. Nothing truck related done at all. It is beautiful here all week, too.

Re: What did you get done12/19/10 edition
 

Changed my alternator saturday, bought some new mirrors today, not much is new in my world.

Re: What did you get done12/19/10 edition

I actually made some decent progress & completed the duel tank mounts & bolted the 50 gallon fuel tank into the bed.

Now I'm onto the fuel pump wiring & MSD wiring ... both I'm not so confident with.

Barter your excellent alum fab abilities w/someone on here close to you that's above average w/automotive circuitry!

Re: What did you get done12/19/10 edition
 

Fill ups weren't costing enough? :lol:

Looks good!

Re: What did you get done12/19/10 edition
 

I'd dig the barter plan .... ANYONE???

As for the fill ups ... what's $150.00 per "tank" full .... anyway?

I didn't want to run the original tanks cause I lost 1 fuel pump just prior to the FI/carb change & the other has junk in it. I'd just rather remove them both & run 1 bed mounted tank.

Re: What did you get done12/19/10 edition
 

Any reason you went a narrower tank that's 'deeper' into the length of the bed vs. making it shorter in length & wider?

Re: What did you get done12/19/10 edition
 

Well .... I'll tell ya:

That tank was actually a damaged diesel fuel tank from a PENSKE truck that was being tossed in the metal dumpster. I repaired the holes ... installed the pro werks filler neck & bed mounts. I also addeed a center fuel p/u -ala -8 AN fitting. So ... that was why I ended up with that tank shape. Plus it was polishable aluminum!!

COST .... free + the time & effort with the roller & welder.

My philosophy has always been "cheap is good, but free is better"...;)
