This guy haha.

I was actually able to fit all my crap and had some room left over. I think I am gonna make a little trailer for quads, and to fit stuff on there instead.


One thing that happened on this trip is halfway in the loon side I got out to look around and looked at the front end for some reason and saw that one of he u joint caps on the driver side axle was halfway out of the ear. Looks like the snap ring fell out. I haven't done the full circle clips yet. So I puled the shaft out and took a keyring and cut it into a half circle and put it back together. Worked like a charm and I was able to wheel into lil sluice and back without an issue.

Also helped a guy that broke chromoly shaft in his locked d35 rear on just 33s. Found him at around 330pm he had been out there since 9am. He couldnt get the c clip off the broken stub or get the locker out. So i got that out for him in a few mins and watched him do other things the hard way before we left. He wasn't the smartest
 
bought a "broken" 2hp oiled compressor off craigslist with dual 2g tanks for 40 bucks.

Cut the tanks off and split them up. used a tank, the regulator, gauge, and water seperator and stuck em in and hooked em to the york.

Pulled compressor head off and found the reed valves were sideways, put em back in place and now compressor works awesome. So made a bracket off my 20g garage tank and stuck that on there. It is a ton better than my old setup.

So how did the valves get sideways, while it was running or someone was working on it and when assembling it dropped them sideways?:dunno:

Not too sure. guy said it ran for a few months then started blowing air out intake. gead bolts were not very tight so that could have caused it. the intake port has a small channel it fits in and it had movedup and to the side. just enough that it would blow out. butit still would buil pressure, just slowly
 
Here is my Rubicon trail fix.

Stock clip on left, modified cut keyring on right.

Pulled the axles and ground out the yokes to fit full circle snaprings. So should no longer be an issue.

I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with you Chris. Even though you sold your awesome Blazer and started driving a Jeep. Keep up the good work and ingenuity. :thumb:
 
With some WD-40, a roll of duct tape, some bailing wire and a few key rings you can fix anything. :D
 
You should throw that key ring fix in the 'strange trail fixes that work' thread. I wouldn't have thought of it.
Good yob mang! :waytogo:
