Chassis Stripped

The chassis is as stripped as it is going to get. I'll try to get it off to the media blaster this week if I can find a shop that is open.

Tub's Back!

The Tub is Back from Blasting I FINALLY got around to picking up the tub from media blasting. Sadly, the crummy bed liner didn't cooperate with the process and there's a great deal still requiring removal. My options are manually removing, getting a needle scaler, aircraft paint stripper (AKA cancer), or maybe driving it to Oregon for an acid bath. Whatever I do, it won't be soon. The focus now is on completing the rolling chassis, then I'll turn my attention back to the tub.

SPRING IS HERE... SPRINGS ARE HERE!

Got Em! Been waiting a while for these and upon initial inspection, well worth the wait. Can't wait to start assembly.
Specifications4" lift springs"Expedition" dual coil packs - primary springs rated for unloaded top off weight, while secondary springs are rated for fully loaded/top on weight. This provides ideal ride and handling characteristics under either condition.Center Pins pushed out (fwd in front/back in rear) 2" to increase wheelbase, improve approach/departure angle, and improve steering geometry.Rear springs are four inches longer than stock to increase wheel travel and improve ride comfort.

Gauges!

Dakota Digital Gauges I have been very excited to get these. Interior is second only to powertrain in my book. The way I see it, I will see the interior of my vehicle more than the exterior. So fit and finish, comfort and function are critical to me. Gauges and controls are at the heart of the driver experience so I am excited to get these connected to my engine computer and fully installed.

Next Up: Stripping the chassis in prep for media blasting. I hope to salvage all the brake hardlines, but everything else has got to go! I am also getting the body color (T1276 Sundune White) mixed up for the matching engine paint. Engine should be home before Christmas!
