I never noticed!! Thats cool.

I love these movies too!!

Thank you thank you.

Cleaning that throttle body is gonna be a pain, because I completely forgot about that one.

+1 on the "Twin Pines, One Pine". I've never noticed that. WOW!

When cleaning the throttle body be careful not to get any cleaning solvents in the TPS, otherwise it'll get messed up.

Would it work if I take out the TPS or am I going to give myself a huge headache if I do that?

I'm using simple green and brake cleaner.

Should I skip on he simple green?

I took the TPS off to clean the throttle body and adjusted it according to the instructions here. www.4crawler.com/4x4/CheapTricks/TPS/index.shtml

I can't recommend anything, but keep up the restoration!

BK2TFUTURE

Yeah the Rig is turning 26 this year and I am the 4th owner. Trying to figure out what else needs to be changed (since everything is out).

I was also looking at suspension (front and back) but I don't know what really to get.

BK2TFUTURE

It's getting there!

Should be expecting some parts all this and next week and hopefully the truck and motor.

I couldn't remember if you needed the out of business smittybuilt bumpers but there is a guy in nc selling front and rear. If your going to do it right, you better have the bumpers!

I've picked up the bumpers some time ago but had to drive all the way down to L.A to pick them up. It was a nice 16 hour round trip and a lot of scenery to enjoy along the way (pacific coast).

The front has a dent and the rear has a rusted hole which i'm going to have to have repaired and powder coated.

Thank you for looking out!

Hopefully the motor will be ready by tomorrow or Tuesday. I have some toys arriving that day.

I hate to ask now but will these fit and where can I find these side mirrors?

You mean the mirrors right, cause MJ's a little rounder now and might not

Those are part of the dealer bolt on "tow" package. Just about any random ones of that style should do. You can source new ones from JC whitney and such. Older chevy trucks have the same style if you want to try the scrap yards.
