Added tube couplers, now the bedcage is bolt in and will make changing a fuel pump alot easier. Went over some of the areas marshall wasnt able to get to when he built this bedcage.
Busted out the rear crossmember and boxed the frame this weekend. Some of the best "fab work" ive done yet, i love how it came out.
Capped the ends
Added a couple gussets, more to follow. Along with another crossmember to be added for the evap canister, then tying them together and adding a hitch for the future rear bumper. I trust the welds but want a few more frame tie ins so i dont have to worry about losing my little jeep trailer.
Slow and steady progress, my welds are getting better.
Been waiting on motor parts so I've been doing a few odds and ends to stay busy. Decided a tube crossmember would look cleaner than bolting a strap to the frame and lower shock bolt.
Way overkill but its been fun to make
Then spent most of tonight putting the 4.0 back together. Got the oil pump replaced, oil pan sealed up, water pump in, intake cleaned, motor mounts bolted on, and started painting the last few top end parts.
lima has been long gone! so i may have tracked a harness down.. time will tell. but this thing could be wrapped up my new years and driving hopefully by december, cant wait to drive it to work to show it off with all of our products ive used!
Dash is almost complete, junkyard trip in the morning.
Found a harness that i hope to use, its an automatic harness so i think ill need to run the trans range selector for a while till i set it up properly for a manual, im just getting into it so we'll see what happens.
