Finally home

[Z.G]

It's been a long, long time since this whole thing started in Florida, then Georgia, then Virginia, and now finally Vermont. Very thankful for everyone involved, can't wait to get started on it. To say it went over budget would be a shocking understatement

Looks like it’s ready for a set of 37’s...

Pretty hilarious right now without a drivetrain, no doubt. Should look normal eventually, went with HD front/LD rear OME springs. The front will support a 300tdi, CT bumper, Husky winch, so needs the support. Will balance it out later if needed, but looking for a 1.5" lift or so with the 8.25 XZLs

do you have any kidneys left to sell for an R2.8 at this stage?

 

[Dan kemper]

That is going to be one sweet project. off to a good start

 

[JimC]

Very nice.

What's the story with that heater? I'm not very schooled in 110 stuff, but that doesn't look normal to me...

You the man!

It's a 1998+ genuine heater. The harness I used needs the later connector, so I just went all out on that

TD5 and up models used forward facing inlet/outlet instead of side facing. Otherwise its the same heater
except for the wiring plug which is easy to change. Retrofit these into earlier trucks when we convert them to lhd.

Looks a lot better outside in your pictures than it did in Drews shop when working on it. We were using iphones as flashlights putting it together.

Is that why there's so much blood all over?? haha

No doubt had some inspiration. It'll look even more like yours once the wheels and tires get installed, ANR1534s with 8.25 XZLs

Congrats Zack, looks great. Solid foundation to work from!

Thanks again for bringing my trailer load of stuff from RN down on your return Matthew !
Saved a bunch of cabbage and time.
130 chassis are long mothers.
Jim I had trailer envy with yours and mine side by side. Same length but mine weighs 2k more.
