Still waiting for some back ordered battery trays , could come in tomorrow . I got the exhaust fabed up and welded over the weekend , I went with 3" straight piped for now ... Had the Gavanized tubing sitting around the shop .
Had to put the rear tires on to make sure the clearance was correct with the tire ... putting the tires on is like oping presents be for xmas ...LOL I just want to keep them on ...LOL
The 42's fit the wells pretty good .... What do you think ?

Looks very much bad ass! Exhaust looks good too!

Looks great and I'm sure I'm not the only one that wants a ride in that beast.
What are your plans for paint?

Had the Flu last week , so it was a slow week for being productive . M managed to fine tune the exhaust and hangers . I used the standard big truck hangers ... they look like the regular hangers just a little more beef to them .
So I opted to mount them on studs that I also cut thick rubber washers out of coolant hose ... I used locking nuts to adjust the tension on the hangers . If you have the to tight the viberation will transfer threw the body and it just really sucks , I went thrru it with other diesels I put exhaust with .
I also added a 4 inch stainless tip ... Blacked out the exhaust , looks pretty good and sounds great , not much viberation transfer at all .
I was able to drive it a few feet back and forth in my shop ... clutch feels great , steers and stops ... and no major leaks , I was really concerned with the rear main seal ... its nice and dry .
I bought a over flow bottle from ebay and it was junk , I ended up plastic welding up my old one and that seems to be holding up nice , shes all toped off with coolant ... took over 5 gallons ... no leaks .
The final engine component I need to fab up is the air filter , I'll be dealing with a small space ... I new this was going to be a custom fit ... I might be able to squeeze one of the Big Honking Air filter with a tight elbow coupling .
Next week I will hit the electrical also .
Heres a few pics ... done for the day .

Managed to find some time over the weekend to start laying out the wiring . Got all the main parts in place , air cleaner is in its place ... not really happy about having it a open filter , I will put a filter sock on it . I don't plane on ant water deeper than 5ft ...LOL Thats about how high it sits with the big tires on it ... not a big deal .
Layed out all the wiring , mounted up the grid heaters , put in a few terminal blocks for connections . Added a Painless wiring secondary relay controlled fuse block .
Got most of my heavy 0/2 cables run , grounds connected .
I also am running a 200 amp single wire alternator , add some #4 feed cables from the alt . I'm going to pick at the wiring this week , possibly get the windsheild out and start preping for a new shield .
