    Hey Tim,
    Tried to PM you but your box is full.

    Where did you buy your Toy E-Locker from?

    Not too much progress lately. I had to return the reddy heater, and it was 20degF in the garage this weekend. A tad bit cold

    Primed the steering box brace in the basement and ran some brake lines for the line locks that will be used for cutting brakes.

    Wuss,

    20 degrees isn't cold. It was that outside yesterday and I took my jacket off for awhile because I was sweating.


    Hurry up and finish your build. My K10 Burb is about to undergo a swampy style roof chop and become the next rig.

    I am starting to wonder if Tim isn't actually taking pictures of his neighbors rig and posting them up as his own...and lately his neighbor hasn't been working on it so Tim can't post up any new pics of "his" rig...

    Maybe I'll just swing out there and check it out when I get those gears from you. Call me or PM me when works good for you.

    Finally some progress pictures.

    Rear fenders trimmed:



    Line Locks mounted:



    You can also see the rear e-locker switch + wiring in the above photo.

    Swagelok valve for e-brake and proportioning valve in: (not in final locations)





    Shifter bent: (it is in 1st gear right now)





    Front and rear brakes all plumbed:



    I used my left over RE rear SS line for the T in the front brakes:



    Clutch is bled, still need to do the brakes though. I need to hook up the steering box lines too. Many little things left!

    -Tim

    That is really good for first gear. My hand is about inside the radio on mine using a mangled and twisted stock np435 shifter..

    My angle grinder started to spark and almost catch fire in my hand, so I had to fix that. Not the best start to a day of cutting.



    Offending bare wires removed and new section wired in:



    Rolled the ZJ out of the garage and did some garage cleaning. Clean garage floors are nice:





    Finished up drivetrain mount 3.0:



    The long piece mounts to the NP435 transfercase adapter and the D20 intermediate housing. I used a leaf spring bushing pressed into a piece of tube for the rubber mount. 9/16" for the through bolt, 1/2: bolts for mounting to the cross member and D20 int. housing, and 3/8" bolts for the 435 mount. (Yep I am getting a longer through bolt!)





    Napa PN for the mid 90’s S-10 leaf spring bushing is 274-6591. For $7 it will work just fine. Readily available if it ever needs replacing as well.

    I wired in some terminal strips for power and ground so I don’t have to run wires to the battery anymore.



    Drilled a hole here, in the passenger foot well, and ran a wire into the ‘frame’ rail.



    Wire comes out just under the battery tray.
