Just about there, need to finish driver side exhaust. Then just gonna button little stuff up as I'm driving it. Decided to buy a house in March like an idiot so haven't had a second to work on it.
I have a 3inch body lift, I ran a torsion lift as well for 35s. I'm going solid axle now but it served me well for a while.
Not sure about the Tcase but I don't see why it wouldn't work with an adapter. Probably cheaper to just buy a transfer case.
It's always nice to have a donor car if you...
Honestly it depends on budget, what your goals are, ability, etc...
For my goals I went with a Drive By Cable setup and a 2001 suburban. It was a 1500 so the trans was a 4l60e. My original plan was to use an nv3500 5spd with a manual Tcase. I will be going to that after I get everything driving...
Not at all, I got a custom shaft done because I was going to have to change one of the ends anyway. Trans mount location falls in a good spot as well, easy to work on.
It took me a weekend to get everything I needed from the suburban. That being said I had a garage to work out of. You could title and insure it for a few weeks lol
Thanks man. I'm interested to see where it goes too lol. Trying to make the suburban gauge cluster work with it, just toying around to see how it looks. It may be a little to curvy for me but I want to see if I can make it work.
Still haven't gotten the exhaust done, shits been popping up every...
Grill and accessories off the front, going to freshen everything up and repair these rust holes. Possibly going with LED headlights, anyone have experience with the cheaper ones??
I have now halogen lights but I think the LED would be a major upgrade.
Ya man, luckily my boys are starting to show an interest in my projects so hopefully that helps.
As far as the montey goes, just discovered an issue with the ignition. Something is cutting voltage between the battery and the starter. I may just run a separate ignition harness.
Other than that...
brother im telling you it is so straight forward and affordable its scary. I did some experimental stuff that i didnt need to do, but if i just included the swap and getting it running it took 2 weekends. I will gladly give you any information i can to help you out along the way.
I have 3...
Hey decided to have a little girl and stopped working on it lol.
Currently it's running and driving but the power steering needs some work. I'm going to try and get the exhaust finished in the next week or so as well.
