:)

Truck is converted to a rebuilt M&D 300tdi and TD5 trans kit. Complete new paint job, new 2008 doors, all new bushings, seals brakes, etc.. IT will also get a set of RYM springs and 255/85's and new seats. THis is why We had to sell the series coiler.

Looking good Randy. BTW, We got the 1.2 installed last weekend and I am digging it. A great setup with the tdi & 33s, but not sure how well it would work with something bigger.
TDI Guy
April 10th, 2009, 01:18 PM
Good to know Cabell. The truck has the stock 1.2 in it and Will have 285/75's as well. It seems quite peppy now with the stock tires as well.

The Extreme..

Truck Looks great, I'm actually painting mine Chawton white, to match my new doors and Windscreen. After seeing yours, I really wanted Z silver, But seeing the white, I think it will look great, especially with Black bumpers, sliders, etc.

No. I inquired about there exhaust but they do not sell them mail order. ITs a SS pipe from RN. NRP.

Wow! Ultra clean build Randy - very nice.

Looks nice.


My ST has no leaks at all anywhere... This is a rebuilt crate motor. Looks like it comes from between the block and bell housing. Its not the oil pan..

Thanks guys. It came out really nice.

Swapped out the 1.2 t-case for a 1.4..... It runs so much better with the stock gearing and 285 tires. Pulls like a freight train now. The 1.2 was just too high...


Jim C. the t-case worked great. I did a rebuild on it along with a new input gear..

Randy

Where did you end up getting your gear from? Did you do the same thing I did and reuse the old bearing races? Did you readjust the bearing float?

I am planning on dumping this in the transfer case http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370328731686&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT
