Well I got the old motor and trans pulled, I have the new motor bolted in 90% wired up. I removed the body lift, I had to cut the floor in the back to clear my shock hoop, also had to remove the rear gate to clear the bumper that me and Rooster built. I bolted up one of the 42" Iroks to see what kind of trimming will be needed, more than a little, lol. I will be getting the trans. from him on Weds, he forgot it. I also picked up a third member with 4.88's I will have to swap out my locker and throw a new pinion bearing and seal in it. Looks like mabe a couple weeks and it will be moving again.

That envelope on the tire looks like it came from a bank, it also looks empty like all of the ones I have.

Well I got the radiator all mounted and the fan mounted, reinstalled the pwr steering cooler, got some more wiring hooked up. I will be changing the detent rod to a longer one on the front t-case and changing over my locker and putting a new pinion bearing into the 4.88 third member tomorrow. Also would like to get rest of the body bolts put back in.

Got the locker swapped over, didn't end up putting new pinion bearings in it. I did change the seal. The rear end all put back together. I put the 42's on the rear to help clear some room, the stocks are in the back yard. Looks like it will only be a touch taller with taking the body lift out. I got the detent rod changed in the transfer case as well. I ork tomorrow so I will be getting some materials that I need tomorrow night then will be working on it Tues. all day. Want to get the tansmission bolted up and mabe the cases.

You got any days off yet? You got it done yet?..... I had Sunday off, I filled the fluids and had to change the rear flange on the third, it was different fo some reason. I put the rear driveline in, drove it around the block, runs good. I still need to finish putting the shorter body bolts in, change the battery, bolt the t-case skid on, check the fluid in the front end, TRIM the fenders, bolt the front driveline in, this all have to be done before the New Years run. Then I want to move the axle foward and take to leafs out of the front, that can wait tho. As well as some of the little stuff.
