What Have YOU Done To Your Truck Today?
#7037
Finally got my truck back from the shop and took it out for a date. (hubby and my 14th anniversary). For the most part it purrs like a big kitten now (still a tiny bit surge-y at idle, especially warm). End result? New coil (again), new ICM, cleaned the carb (again) and a new battery cable negative terminal. Hitting the road tomorrow.

Went through my tail gate pile and picked one out that wasn't too destroyed. Took the flap disc's to it, then remembered I had a sandblaster and tried that. Worked great, and I also now have a beach in front of my shop! Ha. They always have a big dent in front of the handle, not and easy spot to straighten.

believe me, it's not easy, been doing it since September.........I'm on a mission to finish this truck, gotta 77 cj-7 Jeep with a 350 up next to finish restoring

Sweet, i had 86 cj7 Laredo that i brought back from the grave in the late 90's and dropped a 350 in it as well. Man, i miss that jeep. Easy to work on and parts were relatively cheap. Rhino lined the entire inside and underneath. 4" skylifter and 2" body lift and 35's. It was a hard top too. Got offered way to much money for it though and had to let it go, they are nothing but big toys that get you in trouble..mughahaha

got my front axle rebuild done and "installed" the other day woohoo now i just have to find the torque spec for the u bolts and torque them, attach the steering linkage to the knuckle, reattach the shocks to the mounts on the axle, and install new brake hoses (hopefully with the install of a new break line kit, also any leads on where to find a brake line kit for a 76 4x4 would be appreciated), install prop valve, bleed brakes, take for a test drive, throw myself through windshield, take it home, and get started on sheet metal/ body work.
