well. this weekend was the time for paint.
bondo, sand, sand, then primer
even did Slicknics sami
Why paint if it was already white?
I did lots of sheet metal work that left bare metal. And the factory white doesn't match the white from powder coating. Plus. It's 20 year old paint.

Thanks guys.
No new updates. Almost moved out of our house. In 1 week I should be able to get back to finishing this thing.
Decided to go with 5.13 gears and ARBs front and rear.
eventually i will get around to making the fixtures for these to sell as a kit.
i want to get into the new house first.
we are all moved to our temp home whiel our house is being built. I had a chance to finish the exhaust.
Nice to have some space around the truck...even though work is 40 min away from home.
tail pipe just about done.
this hanger ties into the factory rubber exhaust mount on the tranny x member.
i made this little bracket using the 2 factory hanger bolt holes in the rear. We had a mold for this gromet......very handy.....
final fitment
'
So I sent the truck to geared customs for arbs and gears and I was informed the housing was quite bent front to back. There was about 1" of toe in on the rear.
I pulled the housing and built a cradle then put it in the press.
I managed to get it straight withing 0.030"
No more toe in
Time to get the arbs and gears in.
so 5.38 gears and ARB's installed.
thanks to Geared Customs!
coils arrived Thanks to Brink Fab, installed....
this is ride height!
Looks really great! I have enjoyed your builds. The details you incorporate a lot of us overlook but shouldn't
