Toykidd's 02 build thread

Good looking bumper. Unique design. How do you secure the swing-a-way tire gate when it is closed. I can't quite see what you have going on there.
 
really stoked for this project to get started!

Did you get all the install parts at the dealer? If so, what did they run you? I'm in the process of gathering the install parts.

what parts are you referring to? i did buy a few parts from TRDParts4U i bought a dynamic tensioner, sc belt, TRD TB gasket, and check valve. i think i paid 300 for all of that with shipping.

Believe it or not the hinge was just laying around in my buddys shop its a little overkill for just a tire but hey it was FREE. And for the swing out its a 1/2 coarse thread bolt with a 3/8 socket extension welded on. the bolt goes through the swing out arm and there is a welded bolt on the bumper.it was a great idea but after living with it a while its a pain in the butt. i recently bought the southco latch a few other member on here have used.

Yeah I meant those. What are you doing about the other install parts? Looks like you are missing some brackets and screws.

i have everything in a box all the bolts and brackets. im just having a hard time figuring out the vacuum line routing... there are no diagrams for installing a 1st gen on a 2002. i think i have most of it figured out its just going to take some trial and error.
 
got to do a little wheeling today we took a trip to Bill Moore Lake it was wet and soggy but still fun!

thanks! so far everything seems to be coming together ok. got a few little odds and ends to tidy up. now if i can just figure out how to tell my wife i need to dump another $2000 on my dual transfer case setup i'll be in good shape! lol!!!
it's funny, she freaked when she saw how much i spent building my '88 toy but never complained when she was behind the wheel. my dad always said "it's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission". that being said, i'll be placing my order with Marlin on the down low and deal with the consequences afterwards. a week or two sleeping on the couch and it'll be water under the bridge!:behindsofa:
