It would not surprise me! It's quite large, prolly 100' long or so, combine on one side of it haha.

Cwarta · 04-16-2016, 12:45 AM

Well made a lot of progress tonight! Exhaust is mounted under the truck, my 50 gallon bed mounted fuel tank installed and my carter electric pump installed, 1/2 fuel line ran from tank to engine, return line ran, and I'm ready to start on the swing clip!

Cwarta · 04-17-2016, 12:11 AM

Second gen intercooler mounted, floor patched up, rear seats almost done, dash off and cluster out, man pedals swapped in, all the heater ducting vacuumed out and put back together, radiator support mounted, my oil pressure, fuel, and temp gauges removed from the other truck.

Cwarta · 04-18-2016, 12:40 AM

Well finished the fuel system and tested it out, purs like a kitten. Clutch hydraulics installed, brake lines hooked up to the master, steering hooked up with the xj shaft, engine bay wiring trimmed of all the extra crap not needed, and started on my cluster. Bent and cut a piece of sheet metal to cover the cluster, and redrilled 5 holes. Pyro, boost, oil, temp, and fuel go on the left panel, and installing a gps screen in the center for for speed and trip.

COS399 · 04-18-2016, 09:52 AM

Lots of progress. We like pictures but Videos would be awesome.

Cwarta · 04-18-2016, 10:54 AM

I know it, I need to post pics as I go but it's such a pita with my phone. Any good apps or anything to make it easier?

daddyjeep · 04-18-2016, 10:59 AM

I use photobucket. It is still a bit of a pain to open photobucket, copy the IMG link, open the forum, click the insert pic, and paste. It isn't too bad though.

Yea I have a pb account I just dread doing that with 20 pictures a night lol.

Cwarta · 04-18-2016, 01:11 PM

It's no work of art, but it will do. Now to add in the gps in the other panel.

Cwarta · 04-18-2016, 02:54 PM

It's not terrible!

daddyjeep · 04-18-2016, 03:27 PM

It gets the job done. I can't wait to see the GPS unit in there.

Cwarta · 04-18-2016, 03:59 PM

I'm not fond of the 5th gauge location but I didn't know of any other way it would look good. I'll update it when I get the gps mounted, I gotta buy one first haha

Cwarta · 04-18-2016, 10:31 PM

Is a good night! Radiator mounted, had the truck running for 30 minutes now, got up to 185 and wontt get any warmer with out the electric fans even, heater works awesome, power steering and clutch work great, only running about 20psi of oil pressure but it does have 280,000 on it. Oh well, boost line ran, oil pressure hooked up, temp hooked up, new dash installed , etc etc etc

Cwarta · 04-18-2016, 10:51 PM

The not so great parts. Gas tank is leaking, radiator is leaking, and I have an oil leak! Ugh wtf! Grrr

You didn't really expect to have zero problems did you?

Cwarta · 04-18-2016, 11:56 PM

Well I didn't expect every single thing that holds liquid to leak haha

daddyjeep · 04-19-2016, 10:14 AM

The truck is just marking his territory.

Cwarta · 04-19-2016, 01:14 PM

Well I'm going to have to run his nose in it and tell him no haha.

Cwarta · 04-19-2016, 01:23 PM

I got the power steering leak fixed, engine oil is simple it's just the turbo drain gasket leaking, antifreeze leak is a tiny seep for now, diesel leak is going to require me welding the crack shut, so wish me luck on that ��

Cwarta · 04-20-2016, 01:51 AM

Fuel tank welded, alternator wired up, regulator wired, front clip on, trans hump stuck in, oil leak fixed, power steering fixed, brakes bleed, picked up a gps unit, etc.

OutlawDrifter · 04-20-2016, 09:06 AM

making some great progress.
