Sounds like we have some wrenching and parts trading to do. You guys wanna meet up and have a meet n greet parts trade, get ready, etc. weekend, then hit Corral?

Don, you wanna come down and lemme fix/brace that frame where yer box bolts on?

 

[DavidB]

[DavidB]

Think that's ok with me. Everyone else?

D60

Heh so cal does any one have a line on a D60 front end? All the Yards want over a grand for them.

 

[DavidB]

I could get ya one for less. Say $995.00?

J/K. Seriously, I may be getting my hand on some in a while. Gotta make a call tomorrow. Let ya know what happens.

I won't be able to make the 15th. Have lots of stuff going on at the house (building guest room) plus I need to fix the truck. I developed a pretty good leak from the D60 out at Superstition. One of the axle seals is leaving a prety good puddle.....Figures.

David, Let me know what you want for the sector shaft, if you have one. I can send you a check or M.O. anytime.

I won't be able to go on the 15th because I will be getting back from my spring break trip on the 16th. I would be really be interested in a D60 if I could get my hands on one for a good deal. Maybe we can hit Corral again in a few weeks...

Put me on the list of needing a Dana 60 also. My buddy blew up his Dana 44 and wants to upgrade but we havnt been able to find one locally or even one within 500 miles of here.

 

[DavidB]

I *might* be able to get a *couple*. First come first serve I guess. I may be looking for trades for my upcoming build.

 

[camok5]

Any idea on what gearing you might be getting? Also what parts are you looking for in trade?

 

[DavidB]

4.56 Gears. I think I have everyhing I need for my project except maybe some odds and ends. I'll have to see. I need to get rid of my Jeep if you know anyone who might be interested.

Just sent an email RE: axles. See what happens.

EDIT: could use some 8 lug wheels spacers about 2" thick.

 

[ssped]

Sweet. I am strung out waiting to get my hands on one for a reasonable deal. I am looking out of state right now for one. After tearing the rear 10 bolt off the tubes I did a 14b swap and I am waiting to do the gearing untill I find the right axle.

So close yet so far away.

 

[DavidB]

So close yet so far...I know where there are 2 or 3. Getting them is the problem. Haven't heard anything back yet.

 

[DavidB]

Looks like we'll have to wait awhile for next run....what DOES fit you schedule guys? Chime in...

 

[DavidB]

Went "wheeling" in the 4runner this 'noon out by the naky hot spring. No hardcore wheeling pics...not like there was much to gawk at, except when I hi-centered it in that gravel pit...but I didn't take a pic of that of course. Just ben eating sand and me dune jumping.

Why is it that sometimes it posts the pics and sometimes it shows the name and you have to click on it??

Saw this in Sandy Eggo yesterday. Didn't zoom close enough, but I was trying not to get rearended. Like to build my wheeler with this theme.

Now that time it actually posted the pix...why?

 

[DavidB]

readymix...whaddaya say?

Here's a pic of Andrew's setup. Opened the clamps and spaced the leaves apart. They are later model Tahoe rear springs I think. Prolly 6" lift or so. Overloads = bumpstops. Gotta be careful how you mod the pack so you don't get spring/axlewrap under torque.
