'81 Project Toy Full width Build up, Finally got it on the Trails....

[Black Bear]

Yes it did.
The tube I got from CRS worked very well. I had to turn down the 1350 side from .188 to .120, but the toy side was much less.

I really like this truck, the exo is very nice, but you are going to kill those tail lights.

 

[tsmall07]

If it were me (i wish!) I would skin over the original tail light locations and put led units in.

 

[Black Bear]

I hope they last a while, but if they get bashed, I'll flush mount some LED's.

 

[Black Bear]

Rear DS is done and installed. Soft brake line is plumbed, and I started building the front axle.



And a thanks to Ken for giving me his old camera.

 

[sharksanddanger]

sweet! Great build up.. Looking forward to next pictures..

 

[Tim88XJ]

Awesome build, I have been following it from the get go. It seems to be coming together nicely!

Question: Where did you get your stainless brake lines from? Did you get them locally/custom made? Reason I ask is I haven't seen a stainless line that long before. -Tim

Alliance tube in Greensboro made it for me. http://www.alliancehtw.com/ I talked to them at the first Big Daddy event, and some of the guys on here recommended them. If your looking for an upgrade give Billy a call.

John you need to use black wire ties .......

 

[Black Bear]

yeah, i do. but sometimes you have to use what you got.

 

[Black Bear]

Update.. Power steering installed, IFS box tapped for hydro assist, emissions removed, bumpstops added to the rear. I am still collecting parts for the front, but its close.

 

[Black Bear]

Bruiser has been buggin me to put some updates out here, so this should keep him quiet for a couple days.
Front links are almost done, Trac-bar and steering are getting mocked up, and a new t-case mount is in the works. PS res now holds about 40 ounces.

 

[thecarman]

Will it be ready for the CNC Spring Fling?

 

[Black Bear]

Thats the goal.

 

[Blacktoy]

looking good man. Looks like you might be done before I am.

 

[Ridgerunner]

looking good

 

[Black Bear]

Finally, the last part to complete the PS conversion...

So whats inside?


its not a pink pulley, its a "salmon" pulley.

 

[rattlecanpaint]

So, uh, Vaginal use only huh? Guess you need a jeep to put it on!

 

[ScottR]

That's got to hurt.

[rattlecanpaint]

How much did you get it for? When I was looking I was desparate so I paid $50 at the dealer. (Mine wasn't pink though.)

 

[Black Bear]

I got it from a friend, which is why its pink. He didnt tell me a price, so im going to make it worth his time.
