Bumps didn’t show but @swettysblazer is gonna mess some people up if they don’t show next week.

I did get the sye from jb conversions . Guess it’s time to throw it on the hoist and start working on it again.

I’m sure you will but keep us posted on how the profenders hold up. I’ve thought of using them before but lots of mixed comment/reviews.

Only reason I bought them is they have held up last few seasons for nate. He for sure puts them to use. With his whoop

Completely random - how’d the tub get so much surface rust yet remain solid?

Somebody strip it and then stop?

Im curious to see how well the sye works and how difficult it is to do. Thinking im gonna need to run 1. Does anywhere make a kit for the np208 or only for the np241?

 

[Truckman4life]

Driveshaft superstore.com has one. I've seen it other places too. It's just a flange and you drill and tap the output shaft for a bolt to hold it on. I think Tom woods does a shorter sye for the 208 that is a machined down tailhousing and shorter output shaft.

 

[jekquistk5]

Well got the case pulled. Gonna grab some degreaser and head to the car wash. I’ll order ruff stuff perches and some odds and ends. Hopefully will be picking up a super duty shaft in the next week

 

[jekquistk5]

Started the sye. One of those snap rings was such a pain. Need to press out the bearings in the main drive gear.
