replaced passenger side steel brakeline, and hooked up rear brake lines. drivelines are installed, lower radiator hose is on, working on steering lines. front 60 is done and the new springs are on. adjusted my triple sticks back so they are all in line in low/low and i can reach them better and get the cd in the cd player.

progress without pics, but i promise its there! dash is done, console is done, tubing almost all done, rear seat mounted, propane tanks in and plumbed, brake lines finished, rad in and fan, new water pump and moded pulley in for clearance, hopefully doesnt burn up the pump. new thermostat in and hoses hooked up. i need to mount shocks, finish weld, hook up tranny cooler, wire, mount batt, skidplate, and thats mostly it.

SWEET!! Did you get to run it around at all? Not a good idea when you forget to hook up the tranny lines.

yeah, you heard about that huh! i only lost a couple quarts. well now the battery and engine grounds are perfect, the switches are wired up to power, the fan was hooked up last night, but must run more than 30amps, cuz it keeps popping the relay fuses. ??.?.?? Tranny cooler is in and plumbed, and yes nick i did redo the tranny pan with a new bung for the temp guage. All i need now is a solution to the fan prob, hook the lights and acc. to the switches, hookup winch, mount shocks, skidplate, finish weld, and then look for problems. theres prob a little more to it than that, but it sounds good.

Sorry for all the bitching, just wished we could have got it done and I could have made some better welds. Also wanted to move forward on my cage, but I will soon enough.
FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!

i got more wiring done, almost finished. the winch works, the fan works awesome now, and i need to look into a new rad cap and maybe pulling the thermostat back out, i dont know yet. i did take it out and drive it though. wow it needs shocks, and i think flexing out the front right tire allows the axle/frame to move and the exhaust hits the driveline

Why do you want to take the thermostat out?
