Phase II, S.S. Minnow build thread

I hate mud too. It's been hard to avoid it this year though, with all this rain.

I would love a 3.4 in my rig! I drove it to VA this weekend and the poor 22re was screaming up the mountains.

Hmmmm? What does that look like to you guys?

Researching rear leafs up front.

I sense you are on the path to enlightenment and trail bliss, my son!

Looks like you still need a proper roll cage...

 

[Chuckles89]

It looks like you have a lot of work to do.

I'd link it to match the rear, personally. I think RUF will leave you higher than you wanna be, and I've seen trucks that mix leafs and links do funny things when one end unloads?

As long as the spring rates are very close it shouldn't make any difference, right? I dunno though, i'm far from an expert on this matter.

Maybe he should leaf the rear too and get more travel there? Chevy 60's in the rear!!

Yesssss... feel the awesomeness growing within you. Convert your rear to leafs and your journey to 1st-gen-ness will be complete, mwahahahahaha!

This was already part of the plan. Time and money, time and money.......

4 door first gen? I think I will be a gen unto myself. Call it the 1.5 gen.

Hopefully nailed down the coolant leak today.

Here's the culprit. Had to take way too much stuff off the front of the engine to get to the bolts, but we got there.



New stuff is always pretty. Used FIPG to seal it for good this time.



All said and done, here's SVDude's opinion of the process.
