Hey Guys I have not had updates on this for a while because I have not done much to the truck, the last month and a half it has been sitting over at a body shop, I got ran off the road by a school bus and messed the front end all up.
Supposedly tomorrow I am getting it back, they had to replace the bumper, grill and fix the frame. It took a pretty hard hit, and it knocked out the engine, I won't have details on what took the motor down until I pick it up tomorrow.
Also since they had to replace the bumper I had them replace it with a smooth bumper with no rubber strip, I think it will look a lot better.
The next few weeks are going to be spent seeing what else I can get tuned up on it, I am also going to get the other dash swapped in, and getting the alarm and electric locks fixed.
As well I need to get the brake controller installed so all of this is going to happen at once.
Then come April I am going to start shopping for a goose neck trailer so I can get everything loaded up and hauled back to Montana come June.
On the other front, my jeep is pretty close to being back together, once I have it back on the road and running where I can drive it that will be nice giving me double vehicle redundancy again, but also having a 4x4 for the Montana winter will be a good thing.
I am just going to be happy to have my truck back, I have been with out it since the 22nd of December, since then I have been stuck in a rental, and Friday I had to turn the rental in because it was no longer covered.
Next I am going to have to tackle the fuel economy issue, I am suspecting the ignition system so it will be getting the new distributor,the new plugs and wires, and I may even throw an MSD ignition at it. Hopefully that will be enough to get it brought up to speed.
Also I am going to bypass the EGR and remove the remainder of the emissions system.
I think one of the next things on my list too will be getting some aluminum wheels on it.
