      Nothing recently. Still waiting on my lift kit. I did pick up my 401 in Illinois two weekends ago, though

          Back at it again!

          So, this build sort of derailed after this happened:

          O'Reilly starter bendix grenaded causing this...:banghead: Looks like I'll be moving forward with my manual swap sooner than I wanted. All this after ordering $1800 in suspension parts...ungrateful pig...sigh.


          I'm starting to get back on track now. I have a new TH400 case to swap my innards into. That'll buy me some time for my manual swap later on down the road.

          Moving on.

          Lift kit was delivered, I have some cool tricks up my sleeve to get some extra travel out of it. I have a new rear end that I am currently building, a new front axle to build, and the 401 build should start later this fall.

          More to come!

              Life and deployments get in the way. I have made a TON of progress, but no easy way to upload pics anymore now that PB is dead. Next time I am stateside I'll have a bunch of updates to this build. The bumpers/rock sliders, suspension, and tire/wheel combo turned out AWESOME! Next is some body work and the drivetrain swap. Hopefully I'll have a new place to live/work on things when I get home again since the base I am currently stationed out of recently closed their Auto Hobby Shop permanently and the recent divorce has forced me to live in my 17ft retro travel trailer, so I do not have a garage/shop to work out of yet. But stay tuned! This build is far from dead!

                  Yep, still on the road. Was my daily again for awhile before the deployment I am on currently (yes, another one. I'm never home!).

                    ah man, another deployment? When I was in, I was on a Frigate (FFG) and we used to joke FFG=Forever F$cking Gone, i think you are much more FFG than I ever was. I noticed your signature now says "401 - Pro-Flo 4 EFI". NICE!!! Did you end up building it or having someone else put it togher? any current pics?

                      ALL of the parts are amassed, just need the time! Bought a house and have a garage to work now, just never home. Still need to figure out how to post pics here easily, too.
