I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!

 

just sealed the deal...picking it up sunday for $200

 

Hell since you're so good at doing things on a budget can I send you a couple thousand dollars cash and an 85 4runner to build for me?

I'm thinking Rockwell top loaders and military 52/24.50/22's....... Get it done by this spring?

Just kidding. Keep up with the posts and pics, I like reading this stuff as it gives me something to dream about at night.

 

thanks im good at working things out on a budget

 

ok got some work done

here it is when i got it...it was missing the passenger(short side) innner shaft and birf


apart...and still COVERED in grease and oil


mostly clean...


the axle is out of an 82' pick-up...the 3rd member was never removed, the knuckles were never apart...and the 4wd drive was bearly ever used,cuase the ring and pinion had almost no wear on them

 

When the gear oil and cv grease mix it makes a great playful nasty substance dosent it!!!!!!

 

nice tread!!!

 

yes it does....as a mater of fact all the gear oil in the axle was thick and greasy like

 

got some work done today...
i'm sorry for the crappy cell pics, but it's all i got for now
barkets removed, and some grinding done

close up on the knuckle balls...they are very pitted

what i used these to clean them up...

after the hitting them VERY LIGHTLY with the sanding disk...

after smothing them with the wire wheel...they are very smoth and clean

i think i'm gonna fill the pits using that JB weld trick

 

Thats beautiful! Like Junkers88 said, I wish I had the time, money and the space to do this Just looking at other rigs is nice, though Great job!

Also, in the second pic, where did you get the "eye brow" visor?

 

i bought that visor off a firend about a year or so ago

 

got package 1 of 3,of things that need to be welded to the housing

 

for the life of me i can not get the birf seperated from the inner shaft....i put the inner shaft in a vise and hammered the star with a brass dirft,all that got me was a swore hand(after missing a few times)...time to bring it to work and let the master mechanic try, he'll proablly pop it off in 1 hit and make me feel

 

well got it seperated today...it took some work...the spring clip broke in 2 peices, but it also chip 2 of the splines. nothing major just small chips
