Productive day yesterday....
Frame horns fixed with parts from a board member I got a while back.
Pass door hinges replaced from a board member I got a while back.
rear shocks installed
due to frame horns getting fixed, I could finally bolt down the front and install fenderwells with bolts I got from board member Brian A.

This morning I ordered my tires

plan to work on my exhaust more, rewire my fuel pump relay I fubar'd. Maybe get the grill installed. Depends on how many people come help.

...

Dale99 · 12-18-2012, 09:49 AM

95% of my exhaust. Trying to decide how to do the exits.

Dale99 · 12-20-2012, 11:22 AM

new rubber came in 7 days early

Dale99 · 12-21-2012, 11:28 PM

Got the tires on it, looks like a 4x4 now.

Went to run it off the new tank/electric pump tonight. Blew out the carb gaskets. The inline regulator was suppose to be pre-set at 7psi, but somehow got up to 10-12'ish and sprayed fuel everywhere.

Dale99 · 12-23-2012, 09:35 PM

Full exhaust done
2nd fuel regulator on, and its not the right one, but it runs on a correct fuel tank
vent lines routed and breathers mounted for axles

waisted 3hrs in the middle of the day for work, ugh

Dale99 · 12-24-2012, 12:22 PM

In this first image. Can someone tell me the name of this part?
2nd image is all thats left of my exhaust build. I would say I designed it fairly well.

Dale99 · 12-24-2012, 12:27 PM

new tires on...

hgs_notes · 12-24-2012, 01:00 PM

Is that the top of the door window frame? If it is there is a plastic piece that goes there to close off the cut end of the window frame.

Dale99 · 12-24-2012, 01:15 PM

Thats where the "a"post joins with the removable top. I have the plastic thing on both doors. But this metal thing, I only have it on the pass side.

hgs_notes · 12-24-2012, 06:13 PM

I think that was part of the original seal set for the top where it meets the door glass. I think the new ones are made differently and if needed, the metal part should come with the new seals.

Dale99 · 12-24-2012, 07:47 PM

huh, ok. New seals are on my next lmc order.

Dale99 · 12-24-2012, 08:46 PM

original goal met after a few setbacks.

Needs ball joints bad as its all over the road. Needs carb tuned and I have no clue how to do that.

Dale99 · 12-24-2012, 11:44 PM

fixed, sorry

hgs_notes · 12-25-2012, 08:30 PM

Congratulations! Getting it to move under its own power is always a plus. Sounds pretty good, if a bit doggie. Didn't sound like much with carb issues though. Might just need more advance on the timing. I like how the exhaust sounds.

Dale99 · 12-27-2012, 05:38 PM

Still working on it running right issues. We can get it to idle and rev great in park. But you put it in gear and put a load on it, and it just bogs down n stalls.

But I did drive it around the neighborhood in the snow/ice since you dont need to go fast anyway. Lots of looks, smiles, and waves

Ordered the bolts and spacers for a body lift. Wow that was expensive

Still need to order the new mounts.

hgs_notes · 12-27-2012, 06:28 PM

Sounds like a vacuum leak. Check the hoses and connections, also the brake booster and around carb and manifold. You guys have more snow than we do, but I bet its warmer.

Dale99 · 12-27-2012, 07:08 PM

When we first started it, we slowly connected things checking vac. As we have added, nothing changed.

hgs_notes · 12-27-2012, 07:48 PM

Got a vac gauge? It changes with timing also, or if a valve is out of adjustment. Same symptoms I had with my jimmy. I had to adjust the valves to get the vacuum back.

Dale99 · 12-27-2012, 09:11 PM

Yea, we have had a gauge on it while adding all the stuff. I installed an incab one so I can monitor while driving.

hgs_notes · 12-28-2012, 10:12 AM

Sounds like you have that covered then. Good luck with the rest of the tuning. I've got a carb rebuild kit sitting on my air filter right now so when the day comes I can actually take it for a drive I'll have it ready.

Dale99 · 12-29-2012, 12:28 PM

junkyard score!!

dash speaker grate
dash speaker
speaker bracket
headlight switch
dual horn setup... only got one horn as I have one already and didnt have tool to grab the second.
tow hooks that can easily be modded and installed.

Dale99 · 12-29-2012, 02:35 PM

Adjusted timing up to 20deg. Runs 1000x better. Now to fix this brake light thats stuck on in the dash. Bad prop valve?
