Fire's Build

Finally got the drivers side all back together.

Here's a shot of the firewall after I resealed everything and threw on a fresh layer of undercoating.

And here's what I had to do to the kick panel to get it back in.

Its starting to get exciting! Hungry:

Also got a wild hair this evening and got the passenger side firewall pushed back and resealed. Tomorrow I'll get a new layer of undercoat on it and get the fender and flare trimmed and she'll be all ready for her new shoes!

The beginning of the passenger side:

Small sledge to get the edges folded up


A Little more


Beating it in to make clearance


Test fitting the 35's!

Though I took a couple swings at it for frustration's sake, but I was worried I'd mash the door! This is how I would have ended up...:bash:

Well, the boss is a little bit of an @$$, better to beat on his truck :biggrin2:

Passenger side front is done with the exception of the washer fluid tank. Gotta figure something out for that. Also 3 more tires are ordered and on the way...

 

[lexmedic157]

Got the lift and 35" tires on.

It's a little high in the rear right now, however we checked and I think after I get the rear bumper, swing arm, and spare mounted up it should sit pretty close to level.

SICK!!!! 3rd gens look so nasty on 35's! Great work Fire.

 

[fire931]

Thanks! I've got more motivation to get the elocker retrofit done now, I'm ready to get out on the trails!!

 

[blcktpgsr]

Looks great! Now let's go see those wheeling pics.:biggrin2:

 

[fire931]

Thanks! I'm anxious to get back out on the trails but still have a few details to take care of first before that happens.

Well gave her a little health checkup today. Changed out the fuel filter, O2 sensor, PCV valve, spark plugs, wires, and cleaned the throttle body.
