Project: IDI International Travelall

[idiTravelAll]

Been driving around the past 3 days, front end rebuild is next on the major list after I take care of the small stuff. Had to hack of 4" or so off of the overload springs kept making contact with the body.

Lookin' solid, man!

Swapped out original control arm bushings to Energy Suspension polyurethane, kind of wanted to take it for a test drive but decide to go full throttle onto the next repair and swapped out all the Y-style steering to 98-99 T-style steering, used all mevotech from Rockauto only set me back about 326 bux. Definitely feels more solid and I'm feeling positive the death wobble won't be back (atleast for a while), still feeling something not right (slight shimmy/strange friction on left turns), getting wheels rotated and balanced tomorrow (fronts have a fair amount of cupping) hopefully that'll make a difference.

Stay tuned for the next oilburner build... its coming and not sure what it's gonna get either a 4bt, 6bt, or hybrid Mercedes turbo diesel swap.. this is going to be a father son build for my 14yr old and definitely going to be alot more showy then my ol' rig

Having no luck finding the next project, all these people out here are crazy and want 3 grand for a rust bucket.

Friction feeling was intake manifold rubbing against my hydroboost, not that the hoods not stuck shut I was able to pinpoint it and stuff a chunk of rubber between the 2 for now.

Turned the Travelall into a 9 seater

Old thread but I have a question as I'm looking to do the same. Did you install the windshield before or after the raptor liner?
