Got tired of the ugly ass chrome tail lights and bought these:

Finally lowered it. Backed the adjustment screws all the way out in the torsion keys and 3" drop blocks in the rear. Then I aired up the rear air shocks to raise it up just a bit to match the front.

Looking good. I like the stance and the lights!

It's looking better but not there yet. Still needs new wheels/tires, coil overs for the front, better rear suspension setup, front brakes, brake lines, and whatever else comes up.

I did just do an electric fan conversion as well. Engine runs much smoother with it.

Next bundle of great news I have is I somehow spun a bearing or two. Low oil pressure and engine knocking means I get to pull the motor again.

75% sure I'm going to sell it after this.

I just can't win with this thing. If I don't sell it, which I probably won't because I'll puss out when the time comes, I just won't drive it.

Damn near got this motor out. Just need to pull the wires off the starter and then undo the motor mounts and then pull that bitch out. Depending on how I feel, I might have it out today, tomorrow for sure. Then yank the oil pan off, then the mains, and see what the bearings look like and the crank.

I'll have to motor out today and start pulling it apart.


I'm just going to take my time with it this time. New tq converter, solid motor mounts (brand new rubber ones already wearing out), new plugs, wires, clean the crap out of the engine bay and maybe paint it, new fan controller with variable speeds and whatever else I can think of to make it run better.


I might ditch the liquid to air intercooler and run an air to air instead. Or at least run them both.

I would not run both. Pull the pan and verify what is wrong before doing any other work.
