Picked up a few goodies for the truck the other day. Probably be the last for a while...Got the itch for some go fast and I have about half of what I need to lay some boost to the car...fast cars and big trucks! 'MERICA! (Assume my wife has killed me if I go AWOL)

 

drove it, blew out my power steering high pressure line, parked it.

 

Disconnected both sway bars. Installed two new upstream oxygen sensors. Installed my 20 dollar junk yard D2 bull bar. Took it into the desert. Watched the city lights come on.

 

Looks great!

 

Thanks man. It's getting there. Work in progress.

 

Does look good. $20 for the bull bar. That's a hella find! Local weld shop wants to $250 to make one.

 

Yea local pic-a -part. Of course I didn't tell them I just took it from a Land Rover. "Some truck". Haha

 

You have the worst luck.
Pump several hundred bucks into the cooling system, and the power steering pops.

 

meh. cant complain. i actually didnt spend that much since i returned the radiator and i'm going to try and return the the oil and trans temp gauges and just stick the water temp one in there. i just got the email that the line was shipped today even though i ordered monday night.. hope it comes in on friday. should be square after that.

 

installed the new high pressure hose for my power steering, what a weird location it's in. also replaced the o-ring on the high pressure adapter thing that threads into the pump. after i tested that and there werent any leaks, i noticed some coolant puddled on my intake manifold. wiggled one of the throttle body coolant hoses and sure enough one was cracked. quick trip to the parts store and replaced that hose. buttoned that all up, de-greased the front end of the truck, and installed/wired up my new gauges. finally back on the road.
