So today, Easter I had planned on just staying home. But a killer deal popped up on FB, 4 H2 wheels for $50 less than an hour away. So the youngest and I took a ride to the Sac area (I hate it on weekends) and scored them. I offered the guy $60 and he gave me $10 change!

I have to swap a few tires as 4 of the 5 I got are chrome rims and need some serious cleaning. Now I have 5 painted H2 wheels and have my eye on a 6th with a new BF/KO tire on it. So now I have 9, scoping a 10th with just $350 invested. Painted look so much better Might put on the trailer too to lower it a tad and match up.

Oooh, fancy powder coat!

Been going through all the stuff and found I have most all the bushings/bolts I need. Couple more boxes today, looking for back seat floor covers so I can do all the seats.

This is next now that the bushing are figured out. The rear front spring hanger stock is OK for a stock truck. The DIY4x are twice as beefy, better greaseable poly bushings and now all 9/16 bolts. Think I showed the stock rubber bushing before that was wore all the way through and uses a 7/16 bolt. And look at the stock shackle (bent) vs the new longer one.

Also scored another painted H2 wheel with an almost new tire on it.

Pulled the chrome trim from the windows, replacing with black. Same with mirrors, trying to knock down the "flash".

Dropped the front axle to work on the steering box bracing and upgrade the motor mounts.

Keeping the front 10 bolt for just now with the H2 wheels.

Put a new master cylinder on, old was just a pile of rust even though it still worked. Drained the front when I pulled the axle so will bleed the whole system.

Popped off the last spring hanger with my new Ingersol air hammer.

Added a bigger pulley on the compressor (3.5 to 4.5) jumping the CFM up to a decent rate.

Looking good. Explain the compressor thing. Wouldn’t a smaller pulley increase the output?

Depends on what side you put the pulley on,  the motor side with a larger pulley increase, the pump side a smaller pulley would increase

I always revert back to a bicycle to how pulleys functions

Right?

If he made the compressor pulley larger then I think your are correct that would slow it down

OK, compressor for the garage. Was a tad slow so I upped the motor pulley some. Much better!

Believe it or not, the blue chair is for a rabbit enclosure there.

Pulled some more off the front end, man it is nasty under there. Guess I should put my hot pressure washer to use!

Shocks don't, so they came off. In the way anyway. Feel like they dampen a little but have no pressure at all and a free spot when they move.

Don't need the old axle damper/stop either. Lift kinda negates it with extended bump stops.

Need to take the shine off but what do you think of the covers? Wheels will be the painted style and machine the center for the front hubs.

Got it all out, now waiting on some DIY4x parts, namely the B52 front hangers. Says about 1/5 weeks out as they are fabing as ordered now. I have front hangers and everything for the rear, but these solve a few other issues like winch and bumper mounts.

Going to pull the inner fenders and the right front fender. Gives needed access for several things and I will install the used AC housing that was butchered by whoever did the turbo. From what I can tell there was no need to butcher the AC, but its done and I want AC.

Started with the drivers side, then cleaned it all out. Still looks nasty, but not as bad. I have a new cable for the hood latch to and the change will be easier.

When I pulled the shocks, found a broken mount that was broken again. Not a huge job.

Cleaned up the rotors and found a broken bleeder. Broke an EZ out, welded nuts to it but no way it was moving. Figured just throw some reman calipers on there since I have no idea how old they are and I have a new MC anyhoo and am bleeding the whole system. Both for $45 at napa with all new hardware, pads are still good.

Now I am contemplating what new shocks. Think I want to go with singles. This is made for duals but tech has progressed so much in 30+ years I am sure a single will be fine. This is no race or hard core crawler, but It will get used! Thinking about dropping the front sway too, but if I don't I will add a rear as this is going to be a top heavy beast. Front sway does have a disconnect so that helps.

Looking for input on this from you guys, mostly on the shocks.

Chugging along but the first couple hot days out here slowed me down.

Pulled the sway bar, pulled both fenders, put the front steering box brace in and one of the rear leaf mounts.

DIY4x came through and got me these B52 mounts in a week. All is made to order right now so I was surprised.

Now I just have the blow all the rivets out in the above picture. These solve a few problems, strengthens everything up and is a good base for the bumper/winch.

Today after taking the boys to a 10 mile hike around Folsom lake, I finished the steering brace and the steering shaft.

Frame looked good with no signs of cracking. This ties the steering box to the crossmember and the crossmember to the frame. Had to add 3 washers, no big deal.

Then I pulled the stock steering shaft which uses a rag joint and strange slide universal up top. Replaced with a Jeep cherokee shaft that has 2 U-joints.

Was harder removing the stock than putting new one on. You grid a little slot for the new uni yoke, then heat up the shaft to shorten up.

Made sure steering box was centered along with wheel. Snugged up upper bolt, heated shaft to get the length right and snugged the lower on the SB shaft (liberal locktite!) Way cleaner and tight.

Still needs a good cleaning and addressing a few wires and hoses since the fenders are off.

Need to find a 6.5 dipstick as the 6.2 is under the master cylinder?? (see above pic)

Another thing that gets me is really how clean the truck is. Sure there is grime, but it cleaned up very nice with just a hose.

Also, the air cleaner is not that bad. Hoses need a little cleaning up but usable.

I have it this far and thinking about doing the motor mounts. I have poly inserts for them and access will never be better I think.

After it is on the road I need to address the oil cooler lines. For some reason they twist around the left exhaust with several fitting. Think both would work fine with just a simple 90 running under the motor mount to the front. They then cross over to the pass side of the radiator, the hot side?
