Well things are moving along just fine this weekend. Yes I have a BUSTED ARB compressor so I can't check for leaks but I'll get over that. I have ordered the manifold and stuff from Power Tanks for running my ARB off the OBA system I have. Then I mess around with the compressor body and see if I can fix it. I am not real impressed with the new samller compressor they have. I broke the air filter housing too.


So because of all the stuff under the hood I had to take the cold air intake off.

Then yesterday at 1700 FedEx shows up in my driveway with my driveshafts back from Reel. I had to send them back because I had given them the wrong measurements and the shafts were too long the first time around. Now Jim fixed them no charge and even footed the shipping back to me. BUT!! There were a few problems. First was that they promised to have a 24 hour turn around on the shafts. Instead they got stuck in a corner sat for 5 DAYS. Then when they show back up, a day late because the FedEx truck got in a wreck on Thursday I open the box up and find this.

Ya not a big deal but you would think the packaging would have been a little better.

So here is my front and rear shafts.


I got the alternator wired correctly and found a switched 12V source for it. Was just trying to finish all the little stuff off that still needs to be done. I bled the brakes and got them working GOOD. Then I installed the rear driveshaft!!! Yep I got to drive it out of my GARAGE today!!!! :wavzing:  :bouncez:

It is back in the garage now for the list of stuff I need to do tomorrow. Install front drive shaft, fill front axle with gear lube, top off rear axle with gear lube, do another anjustment on shifter linkage(screwed it all up when I moved the base mount), put dash together & I am sure more stuff.

But the point is I got to drive it down the road today and it does move on it's own now. Monday I'll take it into Cle Elum and get the exhaust done.
