well one more expensive step closer to finished. Transmission fluid, motor oil, and power steering fluid (really need to buy a new steering box).
Then a couple extra goodies, bought a couple drop hitches and *****, and a new tow strap since a toyota toasted my old one the first time my transmission broke down in the canyon.
hopefully more updates when i get home on tuesday.

sometime in the last 2 months my trucks been sitting behind the shop, some D-wad popped my hood and stole my injectors.... (jokes on him, they were junk anyways)
anyone have a good set of used? I've only got about $250 bucks to spend...

Well were back on track. picked up a set of used injectors from a buddy. stock and probably worn out, but at least the truck will run.
then i ordered my last 2 gauges, my intake/cone filter, and a 3200 spring.
Now for the down side. i wont be back in town until the 20th... so no good updates until then, but on the 20th... it should be a big huge update!

Finished my dash tonight, not my original plan. but the original plan ended up looking like crap. But i like this one.

traded my beat up kawasaki brute force 750....
For the Transmission, a grand cash, and a '04 yamaha PW50 with training wheels, and a '04 kawasaki KLX110...
Then spend the grand cash on the TC and a few other things for the truck.
So however you want to figure that price wise be my guest. i just figure it as i pretty much robbed the guy blind and made out like a bandit .

so glad the touch screen doesn't look so out of place anymore. it stuck out like a sore thumb with the wood grain.

Well my wiring is so freaking screwed from head to toe. this is going to be a NIGHTMARE. my headlights/park lights only work when they want too for no rhyme or reason. my turn singals dont work at all, except sometimes all 4 flash! stereo doesnt work, horn doesnt work, windshield wipers dont work, passenger side window/door lock switches dont work, but they operate from the drivers side. truck doesnt always shut down when you turn the key off... i could seriously go on... its a nightmare. i guess next project is completely rewiring the truck from head to toe. I'll probably end up buying a painless wiring kit for a hotrod and adapting it into the diesel and be done with ever thing those crappy dodge engineers did in there.
but on the bright side, my gauges look pretty lit up. haha.
also wondering if i ground the fuel pin enough, or if i should go a little more? any insight from the pro's out there?
