Looks good bleeder, hope all goes well saturday. I will be dropping mine in monday

 

wow, thanks for all the great responces guys!


korn111685, yeah there's no smog pump on the 91; that little pulley you see is just a tentioner pulley, and the metal cover sheild on the front of it is painted silver

4banginRunner, yes the t-shirt was the right size, lmao

89OldBlue, thank you! yes it definately going to be a reliable daily driver, and occational weekend trail rig, so I'm trying to build it streetable, but still capable off the road; that's why next will be armor in the form of bumpers and sliders, then I'm moving underneith to install 4.88's and lockers, as well as a better t-case crossmember with a little more clearance

89topless, LMAO, that's pretty funny, lol



so today it rained ALL AFTERNOON... Florida this time of the years absolutely SUCKS!!!

so I kept in the garage, cleaned up a bit cause I had a pretty good mess in there, lol

I also went ahead and installed these little guys we'll see how well they work out

 

why sliders? put that money towards something more usefull

and the definition of blasphemy is "irreverent behavior toward anything held sacred, priceless, etc"

 

A) you never know; they might just save my rockers one day
B) I think they look sick
C) excellent high-lift jack points


lmao

yeah I PLANNED on having the motor in this afternoon, so that I could hook everything up tomorrow to make Saturday easier

 

WEll do it to it Jack , Put that motor in there !!!
Oh and again really great job !!!

 

Rain?? fffffsssfffffssss....SLACKER!!



eh, take you time on saturday. I hate to see any scratched paint on that beauty!!!!!

 

Nice plugs ya got there mines currently bein rebuilt, I cant wait until i get it back.. it sucks not havin it as its my daily driver.. keep up the good work can't wait to see it in the truck.

 

ooooooooh nice plugs travis

 

You could do mine next. K? Thanks.
Good luck tomorrow (right?)......can't wait to see it back in the truck.

 

i have a six pack say's he's putting it in tonight...

builds like this get me one more step closer to building one.... mines only got 30,000miles or more on the rebuild, but looks like a 200,000mile motor.. just not as leaky.. i just

i cant wait for the next video.. if it's one thing this guy can do it's build the mess out of a 22re and make some bitchin azz videos to go along with it..

 

korn, you get to keep your six pack



came home to the engine bay looking like this



a FAR cry from what it use to look like, if you can remember back in time





looked like it was going to try to rain me out again, so I was prepared today!




that's right, see that hoist lowered down there




YES SIR!!!














it's good to see now that I've got PLENTY of room for the electric fan








lol, after putting the t-bar bolts in, I only threaded them in so far; there's about 1/4" of thread left open at the top of the nut, and it was enough to support the weight of the truck with no motor. after setting the weight of the motor on it, it almost hit the bump stops, lol, so it's all raked forward now







so tomorrow, I've got to throw this baby on





drop in the radiator, fill her with fluids, do all the final checks and give it a once over for any loose and untightened bolts, and then fire her up! my father's going to be here a 8 am, and it'll probably be fired up by noon! I'M SO EXCITED!!!


oh and I can't believe I've never taken a pic of the temp truck, lmao



silly 2wd...

 

Oh snap!!!! Sure looks purty in its home!!!

 

awesome... i've been sitting here hitting the refresh button... you did'nt post in a while.. so i knew what you where up to Sir.

i'm excited for you, as stupid as that sounds. but this is one of the best write up's i've seen in a while. like a real good movie i cant walk out on to take a pee it's that good.. to me anyway.. waiting for the video still. i know it's comming, right?? haha

 

oh no doubt!

maybe not of first startup, but after a short break in and a valve adjustment, I'll get some running vids that capture some good sound, and maybe a drive-by and acceleration

after the break-in, I'll get a vid of the truck burning up the old tires sitting in my back yard out on some back road, just for kicks

 

our motors make tire smoke???

when mine was 2wd it'd burn them in 1st.. but only one tire.. now that it's in a 4x4 truck... i cant even spin them in the mud in 2nd gear. hahaha

when i see tire smoke behind that lil truck will be the day i build one just like it... hahaha

 

HEhe, a little bleach on the tires will make for a nice smokeshow!

My good ol 3vze will do quite a smokeshow, if only mud terrains werent $320 each!!

 

well i can smoke my tires all day long... but i have no rear weight (no rear bumper)

 

i dont understand...
my 22r runs like a champ.. 75-80mph all day (not uphill) but wont even think about spining the tires on pavment.. and their only 31's? maybe it's b/c they are super grip non slip $600 mud tires?? hahahaha

or maybe i dont have any power in that 22r...

i dunno.. it runs i dont care if it makes tire smoke.. thats what the goat is for

 

DAAMMMMNNNNN!!! Cant wait for that vid, make me wish i had mine done. I'm gettin close though....

 

My 2wd 22RE will do about a 20ft one-wheel-peel with a bare bed and 205 tires on dry asphalt on a good day. Then again, the Pirellis on it are absolute garbage...
