love the sig bro and the runner is sweet too

I thank you kindly!!!
Some day soon I'll have this thang up and running and I'll actually geet to meet some of y'all...

Well, shake down run got cut short due to the rollovers my compadre in the Waggy experienced (write up here: Shake down run gone bad), but 2 glaring issues came to light. Brakes, and brakes... Left rear Caddy caliper is leaking, and my master cylinder is toast. I've got the new master cylinder sitting on my work bench waiting to be installed tomorrow, but I can't seem to get ahold of a new caliper. A friend of mine works at Chevy and will be coming over sometime this week to help me try to get the one I've got to hold fluid tight. I have another gent on Pirate who says he's got a pair, but I haven't heard back from him regarding price, or year Caddy it was out of. Once I nail down those items, it off to the rocks baby!!!!!!

Got a new caliper from Quality, out of a Deville for some strange reason (3rd order was the charm) and put it in. All's tight now, but the front brakes just aren't up to snuff. A bit more research showed this is common and a fix is to go with a Chevy Master Cylinder. I've got a 1/2 ton one going in soon.

Another glaring issue reared it's ugly head and that is the power steer lines that I have zip tied and hose clamped to the radiator arcing over the fan with no shroud have created a small leak in the radiator. I never did like the positioning of them, and mounted them expecting to put a shroud on. Turns out I'd need to make a custom shroud, and the fact of the matter is that I haven't had any cooling issues with out a shroud. So now I need to get longer lines and mount them up and over the timing belt shroud out of the way of the potentially slice and dicing fan and radiator.

After I finish that I'm installing a Tacoma Speed sensor and wiring, then the P-brake. We'll see how many of those jobs will be throwing curve balls at me extending the amount of time I have to wait to go wheeling again!!!!!

Taco speedo sensor works great, in fact with 4.56 gears and 35" tires, it reads exactly what my GPS reads.

I got the radiator fixed at the local shop for $35 to heliarc it and make sure it's sealed.

The power steer banjo bolt was the next problem area. Getting the air box outta the way was a HUGE help (Rookie to not have removed it sooner, I know) to get the banjo fitting disconnected via a 11/32nds wrench on the nut under the banjo fitting and a breaker bar. I got some 2250psi hose from the local hydraulics shop at 3.88/ft, and got some extra for on the trail spare fixer if need be.

I've got a plastic dipped clamp I just installed tonite to replace this one, so no worries about it chewing into the line for a while:
