28 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

Re: 10 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

Do you think you will have the motor done in time?
Also did you get the 35 spline swap done? Do you still want me to bring my extra 30 spline stuff? /forums/images/icons/wink.gif
 
Re: 10 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

STOP THE INSANITY!!!!! /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

I have the new between the rails (23 gal K5 tank) installed with custom modified Sub cross members. Still got to plumb/wire the tank, build a battery box inside the cowl, mount/wire tail lights, adapt a tow bar (Thanks Marv and Allan!!!), fab a new mount for my rear shocks (gas tank is where they were last time), fab some sort of axle wrap control, build a dash, ... hmmm, seems like I'm leaving off a few things, but you get the picture... /forums/images/icons/crazy.gif /forums/images/icons/cool.gif
 
Re: 10 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

I got the stub shafts and u-joints already from ORD....those u-joints are HUGE (1480s?)

I'm glad I did a complete teardown of my D60...the previous u-joints looked fine, but the were rusted solid with NO grease in them!!! Took a while to drive them out but it's all good now with big 'ol honkin 35-spline outers.

Now I just need the WARN hubs to arrive along with the new D60 spindles and I will have a complete front end. I did get the entire housing stripped and painted over the weekend and it looks SWEET!!!!! /forums/images/icons/cool.gif
 
Re: 10 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

Cool I will still bring them just in case you don't get the hubs and you never know how will need some help. As far as the U-joints yep they are huge. The inners did you get the newer style that does not neck down or did you use the old ones that neck down. If you use the old style that necks down then that will be your weak link and you don't want to break an inner shaft because all that metal could get in your diff. and that would suck buy not as bad as needing to remove the diff. to get the shaft out of the locker. Hey boss man I'am not telling you any thing but just giving you my two cent. Please don't spend it because it is all I have. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

Re: 14 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

I thought that I was cutting it close before /forums/images/icons/shocked.gif ! I installed my "new" transmission on friday (my birthday) and after 40 miles it lost 2nd 3rd 4rth and reverse /forums/images/icons/mad.gif /forums/images/icons/mad.gif !!! Now I have to get another one built and installed this week and my front axle is just barely going in to get regeared. I'm starting to stress out!
 
Re: 8 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

There are exactly 7 working days until most people leave for Moab. Only 1 weekend remains!

My engine STILL is not put back together, and my D60 is still in pieces with no spindles or locking hubs.....

If I'm going to WALK to Moab, I'd better start soon.

Re: 8 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

Just don't build it too fast! Small mistakes are not acceptable /forums/images/icons/shocked.gif
I'm sure it will all work out fine!
