Awsome man, congrats on the SAS. I thought about it for a while, but my pockets are kinda empty.

 

My pockets have been empty for a long time, i got layed off last september and i haven't really got a full time job since then, so i just put everything on my credit card!!!!

so did you ever got to see them????

 

LOOKS SWEET!!!!!! What axle did you through under there? Did you rebuild it or was it good to go? Locker?

 

D44 out of a 89 waggy, when i bought it it was completely rebuilded, its spooled. 5.38s gears.
thanks,

 

How does it drive spooled up front? I just got my D44 (not sure what year waggy its out of but late 80's) and it needs quite a bit of work. No locker, needs new gears, calipers, etc.

May I ask where and how much you got it for? Im trying to save money, but if I can get one geared, spooled, and ready to go for just a little more than what I am gonna spend...Im game.

 

mine came ready to bolt on, it drives fine now cause i haven't hook up the front d-shaft, but if i feel it weird then i'll just drive in 2wd without the shaft i don't care. spool its the cheapest, i'm gonna leave it like that until i get money to buy an Ox locker for the 44 and electrac for the rear, i like lockers that i can turn on or off, have control and see what my truck its capable of. you know what i mean???
now i got to regear my rear axle, like i said the 44 has 5.38s so i'm putting 5.29s on the toy axle.

 

wow!! You should come with us on the Attica Run labor day weekend. It's only a couple hours away from Chicago, last time we had a few people from chicago join us.

PoBoy will be there :wink:

 

She looks incredible Oz, congrats!


I do have a concern about this being your first time welding. Did you have a welding buddy with you that could inspect the welds? It could be disasterous if something gave while you were out on the road.

Structural welding is something that needs to be taught and practiced.

 

When was the last time??? I was there the end of april don't remember the date twentysomething.
I've been there tons of times, I'm trying to go soon but i got to regear my rear axle first, i just ordered that stuff.

 

Thanks man, and yes my buddy came after i was done and re touch it a little, then i brought her to his house and rewelded the whole thing with a 220.
thanks for your corncern tho.

The last time we had about 5 4runners. It was July 26th. There's a thread somewhere with pics from the last run. Do you think you'll be able to join us this time? I think it'll be on the Sunday.

3 weeks should be enough time for you

 

In that case... CARRY ON!

 

its never enought time man, can't never say that cause something would happen, i can only tell you if i'm ready and i can go i'll go.
last time when i when to badlands i saw a few runners but they were complete moroons, they were driving like they were in the baja or something really fast, idiots!!! hope wasn't you or your buddies.
later
