Wow, that valve cover looks sick! I may just have to steal that when I have mine off to adjust valves soon.

I got the engine buttoned up. I went ahead and bought a new radiator and new brushes for the alternator.

I think the paint scheme came out nice.

Ready to go

Then I was cleaning the engine bay and noticed this...



The pass.side of the diff. is falling out! I noticed my pass. tire has worn on the inside really bad in the last few months but I have not looked into why. But after looking ALL of the steering parts are worn so badly I can move the tires about 2" side to side independently of one another!
So....
Now I'm going to start putting this together.

Engine in


New radiator

It's done!

It fires right up and idles smooth. I'm going to start a build thread for this truck so a lot of these pics will get reused there but, I'm going to have other stuff also. Up next is going to be the SAS, then sliders and maybe bumpers. The rear plate bumper is going on the ext. cab. and this is getting tube bumpers. I have a set of 35x12.5 BFG At's that will be going on with the SAS.

Right now I'm looking for some decent aluminum 15x8 rims to use. And keeping a look out for springs. I want to use rears up front but I'm not too sure about the rear yet. I don't want to move the front forward a lot and don't want to move the steering box...

Great work, its nice to see a thread when the project doesn't fizzle out due to lack of funds/too big a job.

That's a really nice job on the engine. You obviously take pride in your work.
Thanks for the pic's.

Thanks for all the comments. Keep an eye out for a build thread, I'm going to work on one for both my truck and 4runner.
