Clint's 1997 Reg Cab Build

Thing was we all went thru the same Yao the day before. Also happens to be the trail I blew my passenger birfield up beyond all the actual obstacles

 

New hub, bearing and seals ordered from dealer. Aftermarket stuff was the same price so I wasn't going to even try.

 

97's FTW. Nice build bro subbed.

 

Thanks. I like how it has treated me so far. Will do a write up on the bearing and hub replacement once the parts come in. Should be here tomorrow.

 

Clint! I finally have everything for my front axle! New shafts, Koyo bearings and eco seals from marlin, and the trunion eliminator so no more bent trunnion bearing cages, Heavy duty outter rock rings and replacement synthetic rubber swipes! Just need a solid day to put it all together now! Oh and also got some Creeper joints for the rear upper shackle mounts

BTW April 11... redemption run, just saying!

 

Got the parts. Just working out the install piece.

 

Removed the spindle. Removed the outer seal. the lock nut is still staked here.

 

Put the fancy $18 adapter on my cheapo electric impact and away it went.

Removed the non abs spacer and cleaned it up.

 

No idea what is up with tapatalk today. Pics are buggy.

 

Headed to the machine shop in the morning to get the new stuff pressed in.

 

Working on putting it back together. The stupid studs for the outer hub are the worst shit ever. I thought I was getting new ones with the hub but no luck.

 

Studs in.
Mystery bolt installed.


Reassembled !

 

Now to refill the front diff and straighten the front skid.

 

Washed and ready to go.

 

Looking good, time to hit some mall lots!

 

see you at gulches in a couple weekends!

 

Unlike your truck, mine is built for trails not turbocharged mall crawling..

 

Probably be closer to summer before I make it back to SC

 

alright joo fucker... you told me to get her ready and now shes ready...









if you want yer strap ja betta get your ass back to the south!
