Whatchu doing with that 3.4 :spy:
Right now the plan is to leave it with Caleb and let him get rid of it. Not really looking to haul it back down from Sacramento. It's got head gasket issues anyways. (I think a cracked head)
Gonna have to redo your engine cage when you get it back?
Likely. I left room for engine space, but might have to make some modifications for radiator and AC condenser. Not too big of a deal since the cage work itself wasn't too much work, it was the bumper and figuring shit out that took most of my time. Also plan on doing a full cage when I get it back so what's a few extra tubes?

Dropped off the BeerRunner to Caleb on Saturday. Sent him the deposit this morning and work is getting started on the teardown.

Be alot cooler if it was down here and I could swoop the motor, wire harness and ecu to swap in the 91. I'd have to change the name of the truck though...

I'll talk to Caleb about it, but honestly it'll probably not be worthwhile to haul it back down from Sac.
your radiator looks like chewed bubble gum. how were you not overheating or running hot? damn.
Well, that's my condenser, so... not really going to cause overheating.
But yeah it's seen it's fair share of rocks and bugs over the last 20 years.
Read his previous:
See above smarty pants.

Only had overheating issues when the coolant got low luckily. I even had a much smaller and thinner radiator than stock too.

Brake lines are done. Caliper brackets are tacked on. Just need to figure out exactly where the lower link brackets are going to end up, then get it all disassembled, welded and painted. Gotta figure out where I need the truss to stop at the ends of the axles so I know exactly where/how coilovers and bypasses will mount along with bump stop and limit straps.
