Donnellyshores's Hapless '87 4R build (in 9 days)

[donnellyshores]

Got the old tires off, and am ready to sell. Unknown mfr. 15x12.5 rims, 33x12.5xR15LT BF Goodrich Mud Terrains. No idea about tread depth exactly, but there's still a lot of depth. My mechanic was thinking 60%.

How much do you think I should ask? I'm thinking 600 or so.

Well, shit that was one hell of a weekend. I did nothing, and I mean nothing, but work on this truck. I spent 14 hours on it yesterday- wiring speakers, amp (in the back panel where the washer fluid reservoir bag used to go), stereo. This is all complicated by the fact that I was learning what I was doing as I was going, so I basically ended up wiring everything twice. Also wired and installed a 1200W inverter in the drivers side back seat floor, with remote outlets up on the dash, which is convenient. I did the paint-on bed liner today, getting some of the old adhesive off of the bed was a pain in the ass! Also a few other little items.

I have 5 days left, and have only a few key things to figure out...

-front brakes
-front speakers- are they shot? is it my wiring? what's up?
-horn
-install tach, buy and install voltmeter
-re-wire spring-loading mechanism on passenger seat
-pick up spare

hopefully brakes tomorrow.

Did the brakes today. That went fine. But the stereo has turned into a conundrum- weird electrical interference noises. Given that we're leaving town Friday afternoon, I'm going to take it somewhere tomorrow to have them clean up my mess.
