It is - it's the cool clown man !!!!

The primer gray (or possibly O.D. green) is looking pretty hot actually .......

That electric blue is disgusting.

Against white colors that would look good are going to be dark colors, not bright colors. Whit is bright so you can't do a bright color against a bright color, it looks like you didn't know what you were doing.

You can go with burnt orange, kelly or forest greens, black charcoal, Navy or midnight blue. Any shade of these colors would look good against a large white body but the brighter the color the goofier it will look.

Also primer is not paint so thumbs down on the primer grey.

PS: Captain Spaulding is the MAN!!!

The parts are finally starting to pile up! There's nothing like the feeling of taking a rattle can to a set of $1700 wheels......

bling, bling baby!



Sneak peek of the "new" look -

[DevinSixtySeven]

Looking great. I see a rotor on the back of that t-case...what were you using before? Anything?

What are you doing with the console?

I was running Wilwood's on the rear with the internal parking brake that never worked worth a sh*t......

This time around I'm going to try out the new PartsMike t-case parking brake.

I may have found a factory oak colored console from a bucket seat rig from a guy (Lalo) over on SoCal Tundra's.

But will most likely go with a camel color Tuffy center console:

Series II Security Console for Ford Bronco, Ford Truck, Chevy Truck, Dodge Truck, Utility Van, Chevy Blazer, K5, Defender 90, Defender 110

Any other ideas?

yeah planning on selling them

[jjc]

After seeing what the wheels are going to look like on it, I'm leaving the paint alone. I believe it's going to have a clean look to it as it sits .......

I just now figured out that Qlogic makes kick panel speaker mounts.......no doors.....no speakers.....problem solved !

Got a few steering parts put on over the weekend, should have the steering at 100% this week once my ram, tie rod, & drag link arrive.

PSC 8" Comp reservoir:



PSC TC pump:



PSC Saginaw 600 Series steering gear:



PM springless steering arm conversion:



In-line cooler mounted behind front bumper plate:

Digging that pump and the high-pressure lines. Did you have the bracket cut/machined or did PSC have something off the shelf?

The pumps bolts up to the stock location with spacers behind it to align the pulley. The mounting holes on the pump body have to be drilled out slightly larger than 3/8" and then it's a simply bolt-on application.

[DevinSixtySeven]

Sexay.

I forget what you were running before, tho. OEM? Or did you ditch the OEM pump a while back?

[jjc]

I was running a Howe Performance TC style pump - it's on its way to Tedd as we speak !

[DevinSixtySeven]

So why the switch?

[jjc]

I was wanting to try to run a Saginaw box mounted on the inside of the framerail for additional tire clearance, parts availability, performance, reliability....

Got to know Tom Allen (owner of PSC) on the UA and he gave me a pretty good deal for switching over to his stuff.

Plus, I like changing a bunch of sh*t at one time on my rig for the challenge apparently
