Made some good progress today. Still waiting on a bunch of brown truck parts though. Be tight getting it done by Saturday. Not sure about that. Only so fast I can work when I don't have parts to install.

Trying to get it ready for the dunes. Steve (@1TFROT) is visiting silver Lake. Trying to get it drivable to head over there. Never had the buggy at the dunes. But if not ready I'll probably drive the Jeep out.

Some rubber hoses, some expensive an fittings and hose. Some grinding discs, welding consumables, plasma consumables, some metal and aluminum. A bunch of wiring and connectors. And some paint.

Wiring sucks lol.


Really hoping to get a present in the mail tomorrow. Waiting on my power steering pump is really slowing me down from getting things buttoned up. Need to figure out oil pressure sensor and oil filter relocation kit.

Out for Saturday, won't have parts in time and wife and I are going "shopping" in the morning :sonicjay:.

I did recharge the rear Struts and put some 42s on the back. It's been sitting at full bump and as low to the ground on jack stands as I could get it. Feels good to see it on the tires again. Even if it's just the rear.

New dash almost done along with the essential wiring.

Didn't change my suspension, but moved some things around up front. Prior I had to limit up travel for clearance issues. Well I've since relocated those issues and have gained full bump on the Struts which is almost a 4" improvement. I'm excited to see how it rides and handles not being on the bump all the time.

Still don't have crucial parts for the build :(.

But spent a bunch of time on more wiring and the likes. But I can't decide where to mount the battery.
