My staggered wheels finally came in. Got 22x10's for the rear, 20x9 for the front. Nitto 420S tires showed up last week. Dropping them off in the morning to get mounted.
I've decided to just pull the motor out and freshen up all the seals and such. Got a TB rebuild kit, new oil pump, new water pump, double roller timing kit, freeze plug kit, new rad. hoses, bypass hose, motor & trans mounts, trans filter and I'm sure more will come along. Whole cab is full of parts boxes. Motor and trans will come out and get cleaned up and painted nice and perty. Engine bay cleaned up good. I know these 318 are **** motors but I really don't care about performance. All I really want is a sharp cruiser.
Next big part order will be all new A/C components. Any part on it that can be replaced will be replaced. Kinda roundabouted it up to be somewhere in the $600 range for this. Well worth it to me for these stupid humid summers in eastern Va.
Progress will likely slow though right now as my wife is on my case to get our boat ready for the summer. I gotta couple grand worth of work to get done so definitely gonna slow the dodge build but she will get done.
Pics of wheels to come shortly.
