NW WA Meet / BS Thread

so damn close....front clamshells are a different ballgame as well, I’m comfortable setting up the tears enough to do it regularly the fronts take a lot more work and maths

 

over 3 gallons of apple pie moonshine went in the fridge today. I might try some in two weeks but really want to wait 4 weeks to see how it tastes. I had a glass of it today while it was still warm and it was good.

 

I dismantled my 96’ and watched my buddy set it back up. That was probably 8 years ago... lol, wish I had paid better attention and absorbed it in a little more. I still daily my truck 100-150 miles a day for work so I’m not gonna risk doing it myself. My neighbor and I where going to do his in his 85’ wheeler this winter but he chickened out at the last minute and sent them to the shop. I studied up too, watched hours of You Tube videos, bought the dial indicator and paint pen. I was pretty bummed I didn’t get to mess with them. It’s one of those things I want in my bag of tricks.

 

Glad you made room for the important stuff. Who needs all that other crap people typically keep in their fridge.

 

No ones open today, no crush sleeve

 

i had an extra one but i think i threw it out a while ago or when i movedd up here from colorado. i just looked. sorry

 

no worries, thanks for looking. It looks like it’s going to be an early trip up to Yukon gear in Everett then to sultan to finish the install. Going to get in contact with Nitro gear and axle and ask them WTF happened. Took pictures of all the packaging and even though it’s open you can tell it never had it in there

 

is this for the front or rear? why not put a solid spacer in?

 

Front, i doubt I’ll be smacking the pinion anytime soon

 

true, but never know.

 

if i was Bob I’d sure as shit do it. Especially given the damage that was on the housing

 

lol. i have a spare clamshell i got for free from a GX. it actually looks like its in decent shape. haevnt messed with it yet. plan on using it to regear and lock whenever i decide to do all that to the GX.

 

Yeah shifts fine and stays locked in gear

 

Is that what we call it now?

 

Ever read something on the internet and laugh so loud everyone else in the room just stares at you?

 

I guess ive earned my keep for another month or so

 

Any idea what I should do with this?

 

I’m at the shop now.




Also, pulled my rear third out, bearing failure. Doubt it’d have lasted another few hundred miles. Backlash feels good and the adjusters are still tight

 

oh I wasn't attempting to be dis also, its an observation.... an annoying one at that...
