Just make one and we can move it whenever we see fit!

It's obviously a work in progress on here.

Yeah me too!

We're pretty flexible and are constantly adjusting things. Trying new things all the time to see what works.

For instance you can change the type of background. We have 3 different presets as of now. Just go under your name and click preferences.

Here is a little update or big, however you look at it. Lol new rear shocks for the rear. We were at a point with tuning where we would have had to add a bypass tube to a specific zone of the shock and after talking with Bret from king we decided on new bypasses. Bret go us all set up and now the rear will match the 4.0s on the front. Pretty excited. I also pulled the motor and trans and started sandblasting the firewall and frame etc. Can't wait to get her all back together. Progress is slow but still making progress.

Hard to find motivation to work on this lately been super busy but we will be getting back on it once I finish up a few little projects. Gotta clean the supercharger up and seal it back up. Some minor fab work and I can paint everything.

 

[juberafab]

A little update. Got the fire wall stress Cracks all welded up and sand blasted the last little bit of rust from just sitting. Pulled her back in the shop and layer a coat of paint on the fire wall to be able to apply some lizard skin. Then I can topcoat it with black steel it. I going to be tabbing the lower portion for a skid plate and boxing in the motor mount tabs. A little at a time in my motto lately. Life seems to get busier the older I get.

 

[juberafab]

Fire wall got some lizard skin. Top coat then it's party time.

 

[juberafab]

Motor mount are blasted. Gonna paint everything today after I weld in these gussets.

 

[juberafab]

Got some goods painted. Just got let it all dry then we can drop the motor in. I am getting excited.

 

[juberafab]

Stock motor is in. Don't mind all the gloves, those were to help prevent scratches. Getting excited. Never had anything with power.

 

[DialedShockPrep]

Can’t wait to see this thing rippin again!

 

[juberafab]

Spent some time and got the supercharger all de-greased. These pictures are after it was cleaned. It was pretty bad after sitting for like 9 years. Gonna start assembling it to get the motor all sealed up so I can start the plumbing and belt system. Slowly but surely things are starting to come together.

Me to man.! Can't wait to see what you can do with the new rear shock.!

 

[juberafab]

Got the supercharger assembled and on the motor. Still lots to do and change for this set u0.

 

[juberafab]

New water/ coolant tank for the supercharger air to water intercooler. It is roughly 6.5 gallons. Gonna do some researchon how these setups are supposed to be plumbed. Never messed with anything supercharged before. Gonna build a cradel for it in-between the batteries.

 

[juberafab]

All welded up. Gonna start making the cradel for it as well as the top. Ordered up some fitting and the alternator to fit the supercharger. Another portion knocked off the list. It's going slow but we are getting there.
