Haha, yea I have all the fun stuff now. Gonna start working on a cage for the 4runner next. Was using the bumpers as practice to get my bends down. I think I got them down pretty good now. Havent wasted much tubing. If you ever need something bent jsut lemme know.
 


Played around with a piece of scrap I had laying around. Thoughts? Likes dislikes? Comments? Im still adding some bottom supports.
 
A bit of an update. Finished welding up the front bumper and painted it today. Got it mounted about an hour ago. Also bought an old toolbox from my friend and mounted it yesterday.


 
wow I just realized how long ago it was since I've posted in this thread. I actually finished doing the gear swap and have been running it for several months now with no issues. Was a nice learning opportunity.

Also in recent news, I got rear ended last week by a Chevy Tahoe. It didn't do a ton of damage, but the rear gate needs to be replaced now. So now im on a hunt for a new gate.

Been a really long time since I showed up around these parts. I decided to start building my pickup truck again. So I picked up a dual fuel kit for it recently. The kit is a got propane dual fuel kit. So I can run either gasoline or propane. I also have a painless dual battery system going int he pickup soon. Worked on the truck a bit tonight and ran into my first major snag. The intake seems to be sitting a tab bit too tall and the hood wont close. Im going to attempt to remove some of the ribbing in the hood since thats what its hitting on. If that doesnt work i may have to resort to cutting the hood or doing a 1inch bodylift.


 
Finally got the propane kit mounted in the truck. Mounted the vaporizer behind the drivers front headlight light with a bracket I made. I routed all the lines and test fired the engine on propane. Truck seems to runs great. Also ended up putting a hole in the hood and a small vent to clear the intake. Now I just need to finish wiring and mount the tank in the bed down.




 
Brown santa showed up at my house today. Got some goodies from trail gear for the pickup. Still waiting for some more parts. But I got a front top truss, shock hoops, and frame reinforcment plates. Also had a GM alternator bracket that ill be installing for dual batteries.



 
Some update: Had a bit of frame rust on the passenger side. It was actually pretty bad, but I replated the whole passenger side and finished the Chevy 63 swap. Also got the truck pulled into the garage after the swap, and pulled the front axle for a rebuild and diff swap. Decided to pull the front locker and stick it in the rear. Then I pulled the ARB from the 4runner and am going to stick it in the front of the pickup.
