Pretty much back together. Can't get the new front driveshaft to let go of it's compressed position, so I've still got that to get on. Open to ideas of how to get that biotch to let loose. Schaefer gave me one idea that I'm about to go work on now.
Here she is on 35's and no way it's going to fit in the garage. Sorry for the screwy lighting. ![]()

Something is wrong.
I got the driveshaft to extend, hooked it up, and went out for a little test run. Everything seems fine. Shift to 4WD and get LOTS of vibration that kind of clears up with a little speed i.e. 20 miles per hour. This is 4hi, straight line, hubs and locker unlocked. Take an easy turn and get lots of vibes and bucking again. Locked it in and essentially the same, maybe a little worse. No loud clanks, pops, or grinding though. Had previously checked the ARB and it appeared to function properly, but I forgot to try a check of 30 minutes continuous locked position to double check for leaks. Fired up the compressor and it ran for a few seconds as expected. Engaged the locker and got continuous compressor running. Found air leaking at the diff breather at a steady flow. Dammit. I've got a bad feeling about this. Opinions?

I don't think the front axle is put together right. If the front locker is leaking inside, the seal thing that rides next to the bearing is not sealing.
If the rear turns smooth now, with the rear diff re-build, it has to be the front axle, and no don't worry, the tube is not bent. There was that shh shh shh sound all along. I was hoping it was the rear diffs dust shield. The fact that you had to grind for a stock axle is the first place to look, they go in really easy. Something is not put together right, unfortunately you will have to take the front diff back to ZUK as once they leak, they will always leak.

Obviously I have to tear it apart regardless. I'm just looking for other possible problems to keep an eye out for while I'm doing it. Thanks.

Because everyone screams bent housing at the first sign of anything. Everything should be in sync when even the spindles go on. It is very complicated axle to assemble.
It has to come a part and you have to find out what is not put together right. I spent a lot time on that tube and everything I welded on lined up just fine. If the tube was bent, the upper truss would have told me. It is just simply not put together correctly. The the tube is fine. That is my call. Maybe I am wrong, maybe not. We won't know until it comes apart again. But the tube is not bent.

Thanks. That makes sense and is reassuring.

Finally got off my butt and took it apart today.
First though, it seems much of the vibration was from my own carelessness. I swung by Zuk's to let him see it before I pulled it apart and he noticed in about 2 seconds that I hadn't tightened up my d shaft bolts at the t case end. No doubt I got caught up in trying to get the shaft to release at the front end and overlooked that. Almost too embarassing to admit in public, but hey, I did it and I'll take my lumps. On to the teardown. Got it apart. ![]() ![]() The long side was still fussy about coming out, but it's out. Locker problem is pretty obvious. ![]() Looks like it got caught in the ring gear at the bottom here (sorry for the crappy focus) which yanked it out of the top as shown above. ![]() Time to e mail ZUK and make an appointment.

oh man that sucks dude. Could be worse.
Truck is looking great! Your SA looks so good. The setup looks perfect. Welding and fabrication are great. I hope mine comes out even a fraction of how good yours looks. Thanks for you help on the Head Gasket. It looks like the motor needs to be rebuilt. I had it up and running today and it is burning serious oil.

Thanks for the compliments but most of the props go to Steve Schaefer at Sonoran Steel. That's where the brains are on this project. I'm just the muscle. ![]() I hope you mean that you started the truck up and checked out the symptoms, because if you did a HG in a day I have to bow down.

hahahah no. I got the thing torn apart today and the motor is toast. Burned rings, valves seals are history. I have to pull it and rebuild it.
The truck has been in trouble for a while and needs some attention. I did put a new door and fender on it while all this was going on. I was the JY and found an 85 2wd with a perfect door! I paid $75 for the door and $20 for the fender and a few other goodies. I sanded and primered the door and fender, put them on and it looks and fits great! On to a new "22r rebuild thread."

See the tube is not bent, it was just not put together right.

Put the correct SA hard brake lines on those calipers while they are off. They were on the floor of the passenger side.

So, I guess it's done. I have it all back together and while it still shudders a fair bit locked into 4WD it seems to be working OK. At least this time I didn't rip up my ARB when I went into 4WD. (thanks ZUK)
A little pic comparo At the start: ![]() And at the end: ![]() Start: ![]() And end: ![]() Not too sure about this drive shaft angle, but it will have to do for now. ![]() Time to work out the kinks. Yay!!

That front drive shaft is pretty steep, this is a cookie cutter TrailGear/Marlin/All Pro swap so your truck is the same as everyone elses.
Is Tall Brian's like that? I don't remember. You got a winch. Now you just need a 4.7 gear.

Also test the 4WD in the dirt not on the street. Mine binds on the street too.

The damn fairlead that came with the winch doesn't fit the Marlin bumper so I guess I'm getting a Hawse and syn line sooner rather than "some day".That's what I'm hoping for too.

Dude, that's a pretty steep angle. I do have duel cases, so it moves the upper mount back 6-8" or so, but I think your main issue is your truck is so f'in huge. I think those springs should settle quite a bit after you use them. You stand a good chance of a u-joint binding at that angle, especially at droop.
I'll post a pic of my front d-shaft tomorrow for reference.

Thats steep but it might be ok...only way to find out! I'm sure once you break in those springs it will only help. Just carry extra u-joints and don't worry about it unless the situation arises.
I put those same springs on my truck and mine sits lower, but I think my shackles are shorter and I've got some more weight too.

Found some dirt to putter around in today. Nothing fancy, just looking for problems.
Looks twisted up nicely ![]() ![]() Hmm. Tweak #1 to deal with. ![]() the bumpstop at that point ![]() The relative position of the truck ![]() The front view ![]() And the amount of up travel still available in the front ![]() Tried to do the same on the other side but couldn't get it stuffed enough ![]() Another view. Still a couple of inches before contact at this point and the truck leaning enough to make me nervous. The truck seemed pretty stable though as I foolishly wiggled it a bit. ![]() The front locker seems OK, though I didn't really find a worthy test out there. I took it up a little climb with and without the locker on and it seemed smoother and easier with it on so...
