JAKE's 06 SOLID AXLE SWAPPED DCLB EAF & BS build

Well i figure i need to add some things to the build thread

Pre moab prep was crazy. Got a few things done though.

New shews
(Sorry i guess i did not take any photos after i got them.)

Cooper 315/75-r16 and pro comp 16 by 8 wheels on 4.25 backspace

Love how they look with the truck all nice and low.

You can also see the awning all mounted up

Hilift mounted behind it on its new k9 mount.

Plano box mounted up with all thw recovery gear.


Transmission crossmember was able to be trimmed 2 inches and im glad i did because i still dragged it on things.

Skid for the transmission and engine oil pan built.

Arb fridge kicked ass on the trip but i need to find better sealing containers for food and a way that cleans up the smell thats left behind when things do spill.


Got my engine bay lights reinstalled.

Few things on the trailer...

What else

Re mounted the other swing out for co2 and gas tanks.

Ill post some trip photos here soon.

 

@thefatkid my transmission is a little stiff shifting it through the positions any thoughts. It waskinda like that last night about half way home.

 

Your talking when you move the lever?

 

Yes.

 

Stalker

 

Hey @thefatkid any idea on the shifter and or can i swing by later and we change the tranny oil? I also have some thing for you.

And @NYCO i hope you two made it home safe and your truck faired better then mine did hauling the trailer. Also i need to pick your brain on your pop valve. Set up you were showing me on your truck. Is your whole system at 35 psi when that goes off or can you charge the system higher? Or how does that work.

 

My guess is dirt in the shifter assembly or somehow muddy water got inside the cable. Not sure when I'll be free to do side jobs, need to spend a little time with the family 1st. My guess is at least a week unless they have evening plans.

 

Sounds good let me know. I noticed it half way home hauling the trailer up the hills. The consol was decently warm to the touch to

 

Hi aaron.

 

@SMKYTXN the gas tank skid showed up today! Thank you again for the deal and let me know if i can send some more money for shipping because im sure that didnt help..

Ill get some pictures later.

 

I'm glad it showed up in a timely manner. I had to scrounge for the hardware, but came up with a full kit.

Don't worry about the shipping. Just throw me an order or two in the future.

Thanks again

 

I will definatly be doing that! Ill even get some of these guys to get one too here soon.

@thefatkid is this the right axle.

 

No, you need a 4wd axle or PeeRunner
