Thanks Chico..

I hit up a swap meet this AM, picked up a very nice new aluminum 4 core radiator and a nice large trans cooler rated for 700hps... should have no temp problems now... just need to find some new rubber mounts for it and get it in..

Now for the weather to brake so i get to busten my a$$ and part these parts in.. Soon she'll get a new front drive shaft and new bearings in the front axle too.. Oh how i wish i had a shop i could call my own lol, all in time... More to come...

Preping for the new front springs to go in... Ordered the ORD shackle flip kit today for the rear, hopfully that will lift and level it a little better... Have been fishen around for a larger set of tires (38-42s), well see what i can come up with....

Well new springs and flip kit are in, just have to get my pinion angle straighten bcak out a little bit... All thats left is a drive shaft but had a couple other things come up so that will be another week or 2.. then its off for some testing, ive yet to have it in the mud or locked in 4 wheel drive since its tranformation.... Should be interesting having a little horse power this year...
