Chief, bolt back together everything to make a runner for now.

By the other comment you’re far too busy for a build.
Throw the factory wheels back on and drive it for now.
You need to be there for the family right now.

So unless the trip gets delayed or cancelled make this a driver and maybe skip some of what you had planned.

I think with a limited time investment at current point you could have this driving again.
Much farther in not so easy.

It will work Samm

With Bear welding up the bumpers, that part will turn into a couple days. The engine is about done. Transmission valve body is an afternoon. The lift kit: Well everything is currently exposed and easy to drop. Just swapping parts really.

Biggest challenge will be swapping out the gears in the front diff and sticking that duragrip Yukon diff in the rear, and hanging that. Probably end up building a drive shaft for that. After that, what, a sound system, roof rack, tuning, roof tent and drive a bit to see how she works out.

So Brian (Bear Claw Bumpers) has been busy refining the design. Here is the latest renderings of the rear tire carrier:

In the final incarnation there will be more tread on the tire for sure.

Actually after these pics, I made a couple more requests which may show up in the final design, but Bear said he was ordering the steel so this thing should be in production relatively soon.

I also ordered a set of Amp Research steps. which are out for delivery today

Don so you are the only other guy putting $1200 steps on a 18 year old truck lol.  Go ahead and buy some diodes as you will need to install diodes in the door sensor wire on the 2001 and they don’t include them. The directions will be in the install manual but when I called asking why they weren’t included they asked “how many people are really putting $1200 steps on a 2001?”  I had to agree. They are right since only the 2001 requires them.

well ken thats a good question.  I would assume 01-02 since the communication protocol is the same, but I could be wrong.

(I looked up the instructions - 99-02 require the diodes)

Don, I know it will pain you but read the instructions.  Diodes are cheap

Yes he did, and that's why I am active again. No more sitting all day and half the night in a hospital. We brought him home last night around 2030. He still has it, but the oral antibiotic is slowly shrinking the infected area. He will go back to school Wednesday. Thanks for asking

You are looking at a host of new parts showing up. Some of those boxes will get consumed starting tomorrow. I'm going to throw that stuff on there pdq if I can. Tomorrow the suspension will get stripped off and I'll start in right away installing the lift kit front components

Looking at a lot of suspension stuff, some steering stuff, and Amp Research electric steps

I started with pulling the intake apart. First the TB came off. THat thing was caked up with what I think is coked engine oil from the vent tube. I will be getting a catch can to address that mess and prevent it from happening again

I would put it on and plug the hose. Smog police look for the obvious, remember the ECM will need programming for that.

Nope. Was the cam builders idea. He said to stay with the 78mm and the stock intake for now. That the truck will make power at a lower RPM with this setup.
But since then I added the 2000RPM stall converter and the 4.88 gears. So now it would make sense to go with the TBSS intake and a 90mm TB but, this will make a ton more power than stock, and I can get back to playing with the engine after the trip. Best to just lock it in here and drive it

So, I wanted to see if the torsion bars were going to be any problem, so I grabbed my two tools and set up to see which one works

The larger muffler clamp looking thing is for the HD trucks, and the blue one is for the 1500HD trucks. The blue one worked like a champ, and I removed both torsion bar stops. This is in anticipation of tearing down the front suspension in the morrow. ANd I can report that the EarthQuake HF electric impact is definitely up to the task

You know I can't tell you guys how many torsion bars I have done without a tool. Just jack up the truck, relieving tension and they adjust easy.

I just got one though as they are just $20 now.

Good news on the kiddo.

I might make one more suggestion...those heater quick connects at the firewall have a tendency to crumble. They will just fail with no warning, usually far from a parts store. We see them fail at least one a month out this way. Could just be the climate tho.

OK, Ken, Thanks for the tip and I did a little research and found all the answers.

So I have the aux heating which has two "T" fittings, Dorman #800-413CD and 800-414CD

Also getting that new heater hose, Gates 22554

new lower radiator hose, Gates 22437
New upper rad hose, Gates 22436

and of course a short length of 5/8 hose to finish.

I am wondering why I didn't think to change that all out earlier

I guess at some early point I didn't realize I was changing all the fluids!  :rolleyes:

Great news on the pre-ranger!
If HH6 is coughing it out, then maybe she’s a beatin it, which is also good to hear.

Now you need to get to your parts pile as you’ve said it’s only minor... :facepalm:

Did the Pre-Ranger get to come home?
Yes he did, and that's why I am active again. No more sitting all day and half the night in a hospital. We brought him home last night around 2030. He still has it, but the oral antibiotic is slowly shrinking the infected area. He will go back to school Wednesday. Thanks for asking
That is good news

Well, all good plans of mice and men...

The day should have ended with the motor complete and the suspension completely stripped, that was the goal last night

That ended when the fan in the air handler in my house decided to catch fire. So today was mostly spent dealing with all of that and therefore, little precious time was left to work on the Burb.

But I did manage to get some things done.
