HHG's Built, Yet Still Building, Build Thread. (Now With Flat Bed & 37s)

Are you on my sleep schedule Lloyd? I am at work now, until 8am

 

Ummm.
I've been strongly advised to leave very late at night AGAIN.
So don't wait up for me to tuck you in.

 

Hey Tim,
Thanks for your help and guidance on my brake lines the other night. Very much appreciated. I tried again today and the damn flare nut wouldn't budge.

So I did a makeshift limit strap (Nick's suggestion) and added spacers to the axle bracket in this AM so I could go wheeling this weekend.

 

Cool

 

Apply heat. Take two aspirin. Call me in the am.

 

I'd like to do cam gussets when you and @stairgod do yours.

 

I am probably not doing the TC cam tab gussets. More likely will either just weld the backside of mine or and a small strip of reinforcement behind it

 

One if mine is welded. I'm kinda on the fence with which way to go.

 

No bites on the FJ case in the marketplace. So F@&k it.

Install begins now

 

Good luck bud!

 

You're up next!

 

Well, it's in.

Had to put my stock Y pipe back on. I forgot the gaskets for the Pipe Bomb were different than stock


The hole has to be good size. The T-case moves quite a bit. I started with a 4 1/8" hole saw and trimmed as needed with a body saw.



The breather for the T-case is in the shifter base. I put a barbed fitting in it, ran 5/16 trans line up to the engine bay, and capped it with the supplied breather.




Had to trim the shifter tower a good amount to clear the sticks.



Broke out the body saw again to turn these two switch blanks into a spot to put the ADD switch. I could've had both sides of the switch aluminated. Both sides are red though. I think it's better to just see red and know it's engaged without thinking about it. So, I only wired one light.

So shiny....

When you breaking that bad boy in?

Winter trip?

 

Well, I have to finish the sticks and get them to come out of the cup holders under the radio. Then, seal up the floor before venturing into the poop water puddles at Rausch.

 

Nice

 

Customer shifter until twin sticks are finished...

 

When're you going again? 12/3? I might try to make that.

 

First I have heard about a December trip..

 

Pretty sure Lloyd said something about it. Makes sense though. @Subway4X4 REALLY doesn't like you at all...
