Well took the title down to DMV on Friday and got plates for the truck..

then I finished up all the little things friday night..
I filled all the fluids, botled on 4x4 shifter, botled on regular shifter, etc..

Saturday took it to inspection station and it passed
Actually all the guys there were just staring at it and talking it up with me..

So truck drove great... no big issues, I do have one vibration that I need to find...but everthing else works great..

The only other thing I need to make is a tranny cover plate

So here are some pics..




I also put the bucket seats in if from my '92


and here is part of that bling.. I have a freinds parents make a all Aluminum Skull shifter for me, and a aluminum shifter

I gotta say, Ken you have done a great job with this. You other guys need to see what he has done.

PS. Did you find the D-60 front spring hold downs?

Look good Ken,

I got my trailer/camper issues solved, so I will be able to tow the jeep wilth my camper in the bed. I have not weighed mine yet but I think it should be around 16500

What does your truck weigh empty?
