Tell everyone hi for me

 

Set the ring gear mount this afternoon.
The jig I used to keep the mount flat.




I used a pen to draw a nice circle while it was mounted to the axle so i had something to line the gear up with in the hopes that it might run round.


support bearing for the ring gear.


that shit actually worked.


brake drum mounted up.


pic of the support bearing installed on the end of the sprocket mount.


the damn thing actually spins true.


that's a bit close to the wheel.




2" of lift and a bit forward and it clears nicely.




I think I'll go with the bigger floor pan, it'll hold a sixer nicely.
The motor mount gets welded up tomorrow, and something to make the throttle work.
If had the brake band, might have actually been able to drive it...

 

What kind of ass hole loans a guy a set of 35s to test run on the trail for a weekend.....with mismatched wheels anyway?!?!?!

 

Damn, those FJ Cruiser/4Runner Trail Edition wheels look good on a turd gen. I hope they look good on my forthcoming 2.5gen.

 

Well these are mine now. Get your own mismatched wheels.

 

Dang. I have a matching set of 5. Oh well.

 

I need two of the darker ones.......

 

And @Wulf needs two of the lighter ones now I guess

 

They're right and left, not front and back.

 

That’s what I said and he started whining

 

Somethings wrong, no Busch light in any of these pics!

 

probably drank it all.

 

Hey, Happy Friday all! I hope you mountain men are staying safe with all the fires going on.Woke up this morning and my place in Arvada smells like campfire and ash on the truck.

 

Typical Thursday morning at Park Meadows?

 

ParMed

 

It was in my hand.............

 

That's been every day for the last week or so here. It's been pretty bad.

 

My neighbor has picked up the pack a day habit since May... Constantly smoking outside. We have seen the haze from the fires but I haven't smelled it over her cigs yet

 

Smoky. So close to opening day too.
