Tub job has been coming along. Definitely had to take a bit more out of my truck that tvy12's. Possibly because of my slight difference in alignment and the shape and size of my Duratracs vs his Coopers. Either way, it fits and I can't really take out that much more.
Same deal. Coilover and bump stops removed, maxed out, full bump. I'll have to do something about the windshield reservoir. Probably put an aftermarket one under the hood somewhere or heat up and mold that one corner back a bit.
My buddy TJ welding on the truck for me while I watch for flames inside. I had two welding blankets inside which cut down on the sparks, but as you go higher towards the dash there is alot of goo that loves to catch on fire.
Chopper and re-plated the body mount. Had to take some off for full lock half stuff clearance.
Passenger side done. Used 3M body seam sealer on the inside and out on the gaps. Then two coats of primer, one coat of flat black then two coats of truck bed liner. On the inside, it was 3M body seam sealer, 1 coat of primer, then covered in Dynamat, then shoved the OEM insulation back in and then covered it by the carpert. Small amount of trimming on the trim cover and everything is back together.
and, because I had no one for fire watch and could not weld, I got bored and threw my dual batteries in for a quick mock up After tracing the OEM Ground Cable, I've decided not to replace it as it would be a royal PITA. Both + from the ALT to battery and Engine to - Battery look be to 4GA. Which will work just fine for my 130A alternator . The stock cables reach and that was good enough for me. If they didn't, I'd re-do it, and probably just zip tie them to the OEM harness as ripping that thing apart would be a huge PITA.
