Re: 70 C-20 4x4 Suburban Father/Son project

Yeah Yeah, bunch of whinners...
Just cuz ya'll hang out on the web all the time

I do really need to get some pics up or no one will believe how much hard work Nick-mosesburb did over the last month.
Funny thing it 1/2 of it was stuff that was fine until my rig hit his driveway

The list of recent updates...
Front Dana 44 with ARB locker
Rear 14bolt with ARB locker
New mastercylinder,
used/new booster,
hard brakelines hand bent by NICK (very nicely done),
new soft lines
new water pump
carb choke (thanks Nick for that bday present)
super cool brake peddle (that really needs a pic) to help my fake legged self
fridge mount welded by my older son (Nick taught him a ton of welding skill)
sleep platform welded also by my older son & assisted by my younger son
rebuilt rear seat bracket by my older son
B&M mega shifter...cue big hair 80's music cuz I love a rachet shifter
later model tcase shifter (ditched the custom cable I had made)
700r4
208 with a slip yoke eliminator dodge output (don't ask Nick his thoughts on how that all went)
new driveshaft from Nicks custom parts stash
new front driveshaft
New tranny cooler with tstat and very nice lines run by Nick
new plug wires
new parking brake cables
why does that list seem so short compared to the hours logged??????

This morning it went to Valley Spring for Fox resevior shocks & front hydralic bumpstops & custom shock mounts (to give me fatter, longer shock options)
I also need to get some exhaust work due to tcase changes.

My hope is to get the rig back on Wed for a short shake down run in some dirt near town...then on Friday I will shake it down a bit more, pack her up and be ready for Sat am when we will hit the road with Nick's family for a combined bday weekend Southern Arizona Adventure.
