You are giving me confidence about putting in the effort to fix the rust on mine which is much less than what you have tackled.

It’s not perfect. But it will do.

So…since I now have my truck back, I’ve decided to really clean it up. While the interior is out (thanks thieves) I cleaned up the floors and POR15 them. I got a spare truck with a decent interior, and I’m using it along with other parts I had to make one nice interior. I picked up a new winch and yellow top. I’m replacing all of the stereo wiring and parts. I also had to replace the ignition and door locks. The wheels are some old MRW that I got from L8 a long time ago. My buddy had them and put some 37” ATs on.

I’ve also replaced the exhaust and o2 sensors. They were cut out. I picked up a new center dash from AB. It may be the nicest part of the truck now.

I’ve been working on the truck like a part time job. Those assholes really trashed it. But I’m getting close. They broke the shift lever and solenoid. So it was stuck in park. I replaced all of that and continued cleaning up all of the broken interior. I also picked up some new D2 front seats from Will T. The pulled some fuses and plugs, so no lights worked. I got that all sorted. I used a double sided jute for the front floors instead of the water absorbing factory insulation. And started working on some kick panels for more speakers. Now I have to figure out why it sounds like I have gravel in the exhaust.

I didn’t wire them. I used a battery and moved them all the way back and called it good for now. I have the wiring diagram somewhere from when I originally did the swap. I may dig it up so I can hook up the heaters.

I doubt many people will read this, but…I’d really like to thank everyone for the positive comments and especially the people that let me off the hook for new purchases. I had just decided to start a new build when my truck popped up on Instagram. I had paid these people money. In all cases, they worked with me to cancel the purchase. That’s an incredibly kind thing to do. So a huge thanks goes to Simon at RTE, Scott at SG and Matt (Mc97D1) on here. And the usual props to Will T for hooking me up with the cleanest D2 seats I’ve ever seen.

Got some key fobs today. I’ll program them tomorrow. I also ordered some new wheels.
