project viperwolfe is starting

[Viperwolf1]

You wanting a stock PS reservoir? I believe I have one on a stock pump you can have back of so.

No. I'm running the explorer serp. I'd like to find a large reservoir that mounts to the inner fender.

A very special THANK YOU to rt9 and his wife for donating a Tuffy center console to the Viperwolf1 project!

Thank you rt9! That's the same one I was looking at.

No problemo

I don't have one but the type used in Excursions and F250 and such with Powerstroke diesels that come with hydroboost seems like what you are looking for.
The top pic compares it to an Explorer PS reservoir (in front).

I may have an explorer reservoir in two weeks for you, when I part out my explorer for an efi swap on jgrow's bronco, we're going to run a saginaw on his.

That rectangular one is the one I'm looking for.

One more you can cross off of the list, armrest lag bolts. I found these in a box of stuff I got from my 74' purchase. I think they came from entourage's build.

[ ] Carpet
[ ] Adjustable trackbar
[ ] Grill pieces
[ ] Striker posts
[ ] PS reservoir
[ ] Gas filler screws
[ ] Driver door window tray
[ ] 6 screws for window regulator
[ ] 4 bolts for window track
[X] Lag bolts for arm rests
[ ] Driver door rod to outside handle
[ ] Bump stops
[ ] Bumpers
[ ] Wheels/tires
[ ] 4.56 or 4.88 gears

[ ] Glass

Keeping the list alive.

[Eck]

Nice patina

[Kinder]

I've got an adjustable track bar, I'll drop it by the build location next time I'm at work. Also I still need to drop off the door parts box that should have the door rod in it.

Something that fits an uncut. I want to use 235/85R16 and possibly some steel dodge ram wheels.

Here's a late update. Got the wiring 95% buttoned up, instrumentation installed and seats bolted in. Here you can see some of the display functions for the Dakota digital cluster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JK26xdBcao

Wow the functions on the dakota digital gauge is amazing! Lots of fun!

Can you strobe the backlighting with different colors?? LOL!

No but that would be nice to have different color options.

[B.O.B.]

Which steel dodge wheels? I can look into it and probably get you hooked up. Any special kind of tires? At, mt

Something like these. Need to make sure the centers will clear the hubs.

I'm in for 150

[Eck]

I'll throw down 30

[Justin]

Oh, that's pretty. I'll put in $30 as well.

[TOOLMAN]

I could probably afford a 20 spot.

[Moab Mike]

Perfect guys! Some of you that haven't chimed in can do so at any time! Phil needs his bronco!!!

[Rox Crusher]

Snipe that jewel !

[Moab Mike]

It really disappoints me to know only a handful of us really recognize the overwhelming asset we have in this club and want to pay him back only a minuscule amount of what he has contributed locally.

I thought about deleting the last two comments but decided that it was a good opportunity to post up a reminder (and censorship sucks). This site has been remarkably drama free over the past couple of years and there's been a great deal of work done to keep things going smoothly. I value the community we've (re)built and the relationships thats come from it. That's true for the majority of our members. Please be thoughtful when posting. If you're in a place of anger or frustration it may be worth cooling off before reacting. For those of you who are newer, the club went through a rough time awhile back and it took a long time for those wounds to heal.

[Rox Crusher]

Thanks for all the contributions to date and hoping that we can get this great project finished with the enthusiasm it deserves.

At the moment, there are a couple different grill options in the mix so let's let them play out before proceeding with contributions for the grill

Groovy

[Viperwolf1]

I'm down to the last major drivetrain hurdle, turning a junkyard D44 back into something trail-worthy. The rusty gears get tossed and replaced with 4.88s and the open carrier is replaced with a truetrac. Only took 4 tries to get a good pattern.

Got 4 of these beauties if they will work

[B.O.B.]

Might have to machine the middle out a little for manual hubs though.
