Re: 7 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

That sadistic UPS driver......!!!

I was working out in the "man space" and the dog started barking a little, so I put down everything I was doing to go check if someone was out front. I got there just in time to see the UPS truck pull away from the curb.....

So I'm like "Cool, my parts must be here!" I walk to the front door, and the only thing there is one of those damn YOU MUST SIGN FOR THE PACKAGE, WE'LL COME BY TOMORROW slips hanging on the door.!!!!! /forums/images/icons/mad.gif

So I race inside, and grab my keys and try to figure out which way he must have gone, and I drive out into the neighborhood with my UPS slip (now covered in greasy fingerprints) trying to locate that damn brown truck!!!! NO LUCK....those guys drive just as fast as I do.

So my hubs and D60 spindles spent another night in some warehouse instead of getting installed on my axle....


DELAYS at this point are CATASTROPHIC. I am about to start counting down to Moab in hours, not days......

Now get that truck done! /forums/images/icons/grin.gif
But really, I think those dam guys should have flashing blue lights or homing devices on them.
I have had to chase them down so many times and then it's like.....A...sorry dude, there is nutting in here for you. You need to find the other driver (his brother Darrel).
Best of luck to you! Keep on pushing it...you'll make it.
Now....12:50AM....time for bed...good night, I'm burnt out /forums/images/icons/crazy.gif
 
Re: 7 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

Yeah he's got my parts alright....! THE WRONG PARTS!!!! /forums/images/icons/mad.gif

It's lucky for Boyce Equipment that they were already closed when my order arrived....Mark would have gotten an earful!!!!

Instead of my D60 spindles, and a set of Warn Premium 35-Spline hubs........I got D60 spindles, a D60 Ring &amp; Pinion Gearset (7.13 ratio), and D60 cover gasket, and buttload of gaskets, and bushings, and bearings......an NO WARN HUBS!!!

So now I can get my axle most of the way together, but I have NO way to lock the hubs, and I'm back to square one locating those 35-Spline Warns!!!!

I will drive almost anywhere locally to get a set of Warn 62672's? Or pay for overnight shipping to get them here in time for Moab!

Can SOMEONE here help me?!!!!!!
 
Re: 7 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

Holy SH!TBalls! THat sucks!
Keep looking your bound to find someone with them?
WHat about the parts the D60 came with? Are they usable?
GOOD LUCK! Lemmy know if anything I can do to help!
 
Re: 7 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

Burt,

The axle came with 30-spline outers (I think they all do?) and the lockouts were incomplete....no ringtooth thingies under the lockouts to actually engage the stub shaft to the wheel!!!

So it's ALL-OR-NOTHING on these hubs....I suppose I could tape a Ziploc bag over each side, and drive to Moab with no lockouts, and hope that someone could bring me what I need for installation AT MOAB!!!??? /forums/images/icons/crazy.gif
 
Re: 7 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

NOPE....

The 44 is part of the deal that helps 4x4HIGH get his D60....and the 4WD steering box is already installed in RyanB's truck.

The only direction is "forward" now......!!! No going back.
 
Re: 7 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

Greg,

I've got a good connection at FourWheeler's here in Phx... What are the details of the hubs you need? I can call them today and see WTF... /forums/images/icons/confused.gif

Re: 7 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

/forums/images/icons/cool.gifGreg:
If your looking for possible sources, Ryan picked up a used Hub for a friends blazer D60.
@Navarra's truck = 408-294-0202.
another place to try; Bill @ drive train service 408-727-2244.

they at least should now what your taking about, for that missing part; call-n-ask.

Re: 7 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

Re: 7 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

I had an "unsavory" experience with Mark Boyce yesterday, so I don't think I'll be using Boyce Equipment EVER AGAIN....! /forums/images/icons/mad.gif




Well, it's a "Good News / Bad News" story for me......

GOOD NEWS:

I'll be able to work on my K5 every day, ALL day from now until the departure to Moab.....because:

BAD NEWS:

I'm out of work AGAIN! /forums/images/icons/frown.gif Seems the parent company doesn't want anything to do with our division, and just liquidated the entire organization yesterday. All employees are gone, and they are selling off the equipment and intellectual property to whoever wants it.

This really sucks. I was unemployed for almost a full year, and had only been at this new company for 3 months....just starting to get back on my feet financially, and trying to get out of debt. Looks like I'll have to start all over again.

At least Moab will be a nice "break"....and a chance to bond with some great folks before starting the job search all over again.

Crap...that sucks Greg. That's not exactly the way to get the time you need to finish up for Moab/forums/images/icons/shocked.gif Best of luck finding a better company to work for when you get back from Moab!!!
