blazer is sttting at a buddies house near tranner gate and birchwood.

tuneport injection, wirring harness, new gauge panel at my house

1-tons and soon as they ship from anchorage 39.5x16.5x16 pitbull rockers at kevins house.

lift, rims, winch, and other odds and ends still in the shopping cart at 4wheelparts.

have had some more ideas some i thought over on leave. the front seats will be replaced with racing seats with 5 point harnesses. the hole interior will be caged after the incident on ftww last year of me standing it on the rear bumper. needs alot of little work here and there.

aaaahhhh yes the bumper stand who could forget that glorious day!

Get me some dates. I'll be passing through the area in that time frame, in the family station wagon.

Oh, and PM me about your username change.

Flushed the tranny the low buck not quite fully effective way, was one quart shy of fluid though. Hopefully this will help out a little until a rebuild will hopefully happen. Found the leak in the power steering, need a new hose. Looking for the exhaust leak but have to pull the intake to get to it and fix it. Winch will be pulled and cleaned up and rebuilt soon.

Found chris's front axle problem. Have pics but can't get them uploaded with my cell phone internet.

Need to get the rotors turned on the neon, anyone know a good place?

The SAV got it's own thread, so you can read what happened there.

Avy may be for sale soon. We shall see.

Added backup electric fan on zuk. It gets a little hot pulling broncos up hills.

Went and signed the papers on my new truck to night. I am now the owner of a 2006 Dodge 2500 POWER WAGON. It has the factory winch , 4.56 gears ect. Just needs new tires and the wife to look the other way.
Zuki still has a broken axle and rear suspension problem.
Jeep is still for sale...

ctd or hemi?

Pretty sure they couldn't fit the diesel in over that front suspension. Not in the power wagons.

Actually the diesel intercooler wouldn't fit with the recessed winch in the front.

actually they do make it in a diesel but mine is the hemi. its nice to drive something with some power again.

5.7 or 6.1?

nevermind answered my own ? it is a 5.7 they didnt have the 6.1 until last year. :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

The only diesel PW made is a special model by Mopar, there isn't an actual Power Wagon available for sale with a diesel yet.

yep joe you would be right.

Dropped the TURD off at its new home today. My son and I have renamed it the "Evil Little Truck." It is such a pain to load and unload with those tires, no brakes or drive shafts and not running. Enjoy Mikey !!!

My right front body mount bushing was found on the ground pretty close to where that pic on the fairbanks creek run was taken... I should probably do something about that but there is quite a bit I "should" do... Looking at bank statements I should be able to buy a decent set of tires soon and just chop till they fit, getting a front locker from someone at work and keep forgetting to contact ole about that spool, but that should make a pretty big difference

PICS!!!!!
I googled it and all I come up with is a Dodge with some kinda Cadillac interior....... :p

Parts ordered for the Blazer!

Skitzo has a few touch-up things to get ready for the summer:
New gas pedal needs installed
Trans cooler/fan needs attached
Radiator e-fan needs fixed
and a few other small odds and ends
and a test run (this Sat!)

Yeah you were right, or you can just bumpstop the heck out of it...

Replaced the vice grips actuating my hood release with a Genuine Jeep part.
Tomorrow is that flat-head screwdriver/glove box opener replaced with another Jeep part.

By Friday I should be able to start working on the battery drain again.

Well Its my daily driver not a wheeler so it's not that exciting but last night on the drive home about 1/4 mile from my driveway my exhaust fell to the ground and dragged the rest of the way home, the crappy toyota studs got real ugly and rusted out so I threw in a random bolt so I can drive it still... The gasket hit the road somewhere so it leaks fumes into the car and sounds like a little ricer for now, would fix it Saturday but have much more exciting plans

Threw a rod in Mini-Me today. Selling the tires and or wheels. Trying to decide if I'm going to keep it for a future truggy build (like I have time) or get rid of it.

Calico is going to be sacrificing it's 460 for my 88 F250 so that I will still have a spare truck. Anyone want to help do an engine swap?:whistle:
