Got my newest truck on the road and she is a real peach. This one is for me and don't have anymore daughters needing one so I want to man this one up over time.




She came out of Florida with ZERO rust underneath and a FUBAR motor. I had the motor pulled from an 04 parts truck that had about 90k miles on it but a bent frame. My mechanic did all the stuff needed while the motor was out. Total mechanic bill was $1600 but the old guy only charges $30 an hour.

I decided to delete the SAI and planned on swapping out a non-SAI ECU into it but I have been driving it all week and no codes have shown up. I assume it cycles after so many start ups so I might just live with occasional code clearing.

I was gonna take it to the Land Rover shop about 2 hrs away and have them kill the alarm and anti-theft. Also I wanted to turn on the heated windshield and swap over the switches and glass from my parts truck. Anything else while I am there?

I am debating just doing a permanent by-pass on the Inertia switch but that might be stupid in the event of a wreck.

I deleted the fender flares and mud flaps for a better look (IMO). I am going to install a hood blackout, a locking CLD, brakes, 60k service, etc.

The 3 amigos were on but I cleared them and they haven't come back but will do Option B just for fun. This truck had about 145K miles on it and was still running the original driveshaft. Lucky 8 fixed me up on that.

Cheers

 

Looks great man congrats!

 

 

I’ve always liked silver, black, maroon, and some green’s without the black flares.
