What did you do to the expy today

[DUNE RCR]

Probably not. There is a lot of different things that I'm doing. Trans rebuild is the primary thing I'm doing, everything else is just little odds and ends. Lots of pics will be taken though that's for sure. Headlights are getting swapped cause the pass one has a small crack on top letting water in, got the corners cause I wanted them to match. If you've read any of my past post trans needed rebuild due to torque converter grenading itself. Everything else being done is just reinstalling everything I removed to get the trans out, then doing a dual exhaust .

Well either way I'm excited to see it all done... I looked everywhere for a pic of your expy but couldn't find one lol

Picked her up back in September for 500 due to transmission issues. 97 XLT 5.4

No rust anywhere that I have found as of yet. Don't mind the missing window visor..... It flew off while I was trailering it to my house.

This is how she has sat since I got her...

I'm aiming to get the trans done and in this weekend and hopefully have the truck on the road by next weekend. That's the goal anyways.

That's a good goal, my goal is to knock out the front end repairs and front suspension then the lift kit but it's taking me forever

This has taken me forever due to finances so I know the feeling.

Looks good man. Like the blue. Good luck with the transmission.

Cleaned him

Well I got my transmission rebuilt and installed last night/today. I have been chipping away at it as much as possible. Tomorrow I'm going to try to get the exhaust and suspension in. Looks like I might actually meet my goal of having this beast road worthy by next weekend.

Well I had blowout with 7 passengers tonight and all but 1 lug came off so I had to get it towed after breaking 3 breaker bars and killing the battery on a 1500lb impact wrench... FYI the wheel bearings are brand in the rear (where he flat was) and they were put on at the dealer who (I guess) strongly overtightened the lugs and now have caused me this issue... So irritated and will never use this dealership again if I can help it.

I would be fuming. I got a flat in my wife's Mazda last winter and while I did manage to get the lugs off with a cross wrench, my upper back was killing me for days from the force required to get them off.

What ever bill I walk into here at this little tire shop I'm calling and bringing it right to the dealership because what should've been a 10 minute spare tire swap left me stranded for 3 hours last night and now I'm going to miss classes on Monday due to having no vehicle to get there

Anyways, I have my full-size spare from my old H2 so instead of buying 4 new tires in stock size I may put on the lift kit and just get 3 more 315/70r17 BFG KOs for the time being until I can get money for so aftermarket wheels... That's all hoping I can find 3 of them for cheap though
