So I didn’t ask this over on the other thread, where was it at for sale? Last I had found it was in Tennessee at a jeep dealer a year ago.

Thanks guys. Hoping to get out soon. Need some dirt therapy.

Little update. Had a lot of changes happen in my life but I’m coming out the other side ok. Those changes didn’t allow for much time to play with the truck or work on it. But one of the glaring issues coming from the work we did to swap in the new drivetrain was the core support, grille and...

He threw a stock replacement wiper in it. But the bigger issue between that and the a/c quitting was the crappy wiring done by a previous owner before he got the truck. So after the desert trip, he blew the front fenders off and fixed the wiring issues along with some broken spotwelds on the...

It's fixed. Took way longer than we all thought. Mission creep set in and there was a lot of the dreaded CK5 "might as well" fixes sprinkled in to add time. But the frame was welded back together after terminating the ends with a drilled hole and v-notching the cracks. Then using sections of...

My 25 year old son was with me on this run. It's just as fun as when he was 10. Except now he takes way better pictures! My truck came with the original 3.08 geared 10 bolts. The 14 Bolt full floater I picked up for the build from a K20 truck and the 8 lug Dana 44 came from my buddy's K20...

For sure we need to catch up. You thought you were sweating when I attempted the climb! I was drenched! Thanks Richard. It was a lot of fun for sure.

Same climb but from another perspective. I've been told I need to sell ad space on the roof of the camper. This one catches both hanging skyward. Moving on from wipeout hill. The rest of the trail is pretty mild in comparison but still fun to explore. Saturday was an easy trail day...

Besides a couple of snow runs last winter I finally got to put the big block/manual swap to the test last month. My son and I made the run to Moab for the annual Blazer Bash event. We took off a couple of days ahead of the event to explore on our own. First up, Top of the World. We got...

The oddball camper you saw across the river was a mid 2000's Buick Century with a homebuilt camper grafted onto the back. I've seen that thing sitting in the parking lot of the Burger King across the street from the dealership I work at in Canon City CO. It's a glorious mess for sure. Great...

Keep this in mind if you break another interior door handle. repair kit Much cheaper than a whole door panel. Great start so far!

I hate taking any vehicle of mine completely offline unless I have to. As somebody that works in the auto industry, I also understand there really isn't a magic fix for coolant leaks that comes out of a bottle. However, GM did develop a tablet to seal up nagging issues on the leak-prone...

If I remember from the other one on here, it's basically a K20/30 frame with the P-chassis forward controls. Looks like a really cool starting point.

He's already got a 454 laying in wait right now. I agree, dumping money into the 6.2/6.5 diesel platform with all of its known problems is a waste. I know there are fans out there and I am not one of them. Having seen a crank snap in two in my buddy's Suburban a block away from his house...

I totally understand what you are facing. Either way you go is going to take time, effort and money to get done. It comes down to what your ability is and how much you really want to put into it. In my case, I've got a lot of time and money into two complete drivetrain swaps on my truck. In...

As a squarebody guy, my heart says swap that big block in and fresh up the rest of the drivetrain and brakes and go. I'm making it more simple than it really is, but on the other hand, I get the want/need to get on the trail sooner and be reliable. Swapping the box is an option for sure, but...

Nice work! Glad to see you are still at it. Going with Fuel Injection is a great move. Keep going!

Cripple Creek is one of three mountain towns that have legal gambling in the state. Compared to Central City and Blackhawk, Cripple Creek hasn't gone completely "vegas" on the massive size of the casinos. I don't live too far from there and made that run in the past. The town of Victor where...

The devil you do know can be better than the one you don't. You can have that 4L60 built to to be much stronger for less than the cost of getting into another rig. I like full on builds too, but I'm at a point where I just want to use my junk rather than start over on a new build. So...

Hmm, my taste leans to the Sub. But not with a RTT. You got enough space inside the burb to haul a lot and still sleep inside it. That does depend on how many are going to with you too. Ideally I'd combine some of the parts you got. Namely the nv4500 trans from the '92 truck into the...
