Ugly Gold 4 door Hoor SAS-LS

Looking good!

 

thanks man!

 

wish I had an extra 900, I’d get that one @Kwikvette has!

 

Or too bad you ain't out here, I'd let you borrow it.

Fresh bottle of Argon too!

 

I wish. I’d be in route.

 

Gas hard to find out there? Hopefully not.

 

Im pretty much totally driven to get my truck done in 30-45 days (if I can keep feeding it financially), test it for 3-4 months, save money and drive out for Jan King of Hammers week out there and a week before and after to explore other places.

 

100% argon?

 

Yep

 

This took forever. Preheat, post heat, wait, weld some more, wait. Prob about 5 hours and many ipa’s. Wish my welds were nicer but I guess they will have to do. Just have to prime axle tube and weld top of truss manana.

 

Slacked hard this weekend but getting things welded up today. Welds finally starting to look presentable.

 

Take that shit to the bank

 

She’s ready for some new guts. Been a struggle w this axle. Still wish I just got a leaf spring older model. Hopefully it can take a beating.

 

Excellent choice in beer/brand. I wish they still made Ruination, the FML they replaced it with just doesn't taste as good.

 

The iconic wc ipa is good! One of my fav ipa’s for daily use. Lol never tried Ruination.

 

Started the regear. Damn Yukon packaged the wrong pinion bearing so I’m stuck til I get a new one Thursday. Sent me 803149 instead of 803146.

Ring was a bitch. Had to put in oven for an hour to get on.

Got the setup bearings Honed out and shim guesstimate in.

 

Drill and tap for air. Pinion and races on ice.

Gearing should be done in about 2 hours. Just finished w the setup bearings Starting now. Post paint when done.

 

WoW
Skills man

 

I briefly forgot how bad gearing sucks. You start off like a surgeon and half way through you’re a complete junkyard slob.

Took 2 hours to get pinion preload. Had to file splines on pinion cause the nut buster couldn’t even get yoke on. 7 fucking tries and had to use pulled on yoke everytime.
