You do great work fillsrunner4!! I appreciate the advice and compliment. I figured these springs might settle a litte and I will see whats what after a while.
I just got done painting the thing..




done !
same color but more even and I fixed a few dings



THIS goes in tomorrow morning Thanks Marlin! SUPER heavy duty 1800lbs

 

Youll love that clutch and the paint looks real good. I like the property you got out there too. Nice to be away

Thanks

 

the 1800lb. clucth!!!! i'm running marlins 1200lb with a ceramic disc and it can be a little harsh...i love it though it grabs very strong
the only thing that sucks is holding the clucth pedal down fro like 3mins at a stop...or when wheeling

 

so this is one hell of a build, i love that color its nice, i need a paint job, it looks like you do it yourself??? i wanna find some people around my area, to help me out with stuff like that, being a poor college student and all! but yeah man this totally entertianed me for like the last hour, truely a very nice rig indeed!

 

Thanks man!!
I did paint it myself. I rednecked it in my garage. As a result it is not perfect but it works. With the right gun and compressor it is actually pretty easy. If you lived closer to Humboldt I would paint your rig no problem.
Thanks for the compliment!

 

Nice looking build so far, looks like Modoc or something.

 

lookin super clean toyo!!!!!!!!


makes me want to go spruce up my rig

 

yeah i have no idea where humboldt even is, gotta be somewhere on the ocean though right? im interested to see your flat bed, how long until its done? im going to be pulling a bed from an 82 pretty soon, a flat bed has crossed my mind though.

 

NEW CLUTCH

I hotspotted my old flywheel way back from having too big of tires and stock gearing. I locked the rear and re geared to 4.88 and desperately needed a new clutch. I decided while the paint was drying and we are cutting hay to spend the wee hours gitn er done!
I installed a Marlin Super HD clutch kit 1200lbs and had the flywheel resurfaced put in a new main seal and tranny seal and cleaned things up a bit.
I had the tranny out in 2 hours and went to put in the new clutch and LOW and BEHOLD Marlin sent me the wrong clutch. This was Friday at 5pm Guess what, Marlin is closed all weekend Soooooooo I had to wait unitl monday morning
They were totally cool about it, sent the right one overnight and even sent me a smorgasbord of stickers
I had a terrible time getting out the bearing. I had to go borrow a puller. Finally I got it out. The rest went in no problem. NOW the only hinge is I had to replace 2 LED's in my dash (which is torn from hell to breakfast) and they are coming from MO

They better be here tomorrow
I got a few PM's to post up the clutch job pics.
Below are a few pics of the fun


any time that thing is laying on the ground you know you got issues

tranny out PITA

old clutch

New flywheel and old bearing! Yea, I know..don't ask.

new clutch!!

new OEM seal!


strange photo

As good as this looks, I hope I don't have to see it for a LOOOOOOONNNGGG time!

 

Well? How does it drive?

 

ahhahah , I can't drive it till this little tiny LED bulb comes in the mail. My entire dash is in a million pieces and the seats are out of it.

 

dang man that really sucks. i would have moved everything out of the way and gotten my seat in there somehow just to be able to drive that thing!

 

oh I know!!! Trust me... I am in here talking to you guys/girls while my rig sits in the cold garage.
I need ONE LED. I did a Superbright LED conversion a while back and one of the bulbs blew. I ordered one last week thinking it would get here the same time as the clutch.. but nooooooooooooo.

 

For those who PM'ed me about doing the clutch, those are all the pics I took..sorry.

 

your gonna LOVE that clutch!!

mine is sooo nice.....

 

Still waiting on that damn light
I threw a seat in it and drove it.
I love this new clutch!

 

Beautiful pictures
The chickens are always getting in my shop too they poop all over everything
Not a bad shop btw, it has a fridge and a window *al dreams of upgrading shop*

 

Utah! I knew that looked familiar. I'm hoping to be down there before you leave we were talking about doing some wheeling down there in the Sanpete area a number of months ago

 

I just got back from up Mellors canyon. 1st time I had this rig out on a few serious runs. I had my i phone with me but I didnt get any pictures because the sun was pretty much down. I can't believe how this thing performs! It is amazing. I wheeled this place called "axe handle." Steep and about 50 yards from the top is a sharp turn with rocks everywhere. My rig didn't hesitate a bit. If you are out here we will hit it up!

 

You open on both ends?

EDIT: as in differentials. lol
