Didn't that make some truly horrible noises while it was being machined down to nothin'?

 

You'd a thought right? Not really. Had it even been detected it was only on full stuff. So it was progressively working. Meaning you don't stop when getting all flexed out. Now it was more obvious after field repair. Wearing on the stick weld...lol

 

Yeah, I can see your point there.

That is powerful forked up..... bet that made some TRULY rude noises when it let go.

 

It literally was a ting. Like flicking side of coffee can. Where we said...what was that? Being on flat ground couldn't tell that 4wd was 2wd. Lol

Here the slip yoke. Also a ting. I was already wearing this out. Limit straps a must to stop the thing from going out so much.

 

Good thing I carry spare 5/8" and 9/16" bolts. Lost his on upper control arm on axle.






Prepping to weld my driveshaft. My vise came in handy for holding, anvil, and welding.

 

Awesome pictures and makes me so envious. I've been sick for the past week so haven't gotten anything done with my engine. This weekend instead of wheeling like I normally would be on Memorial Day weekend I will be working on my engine.

Keep up the great pictures WK.

 

Thanks Wild. Keep it up!

Built a front driveshaft for temporary use. Going to find my true operating envelope. Then decide on better setup.




Then this happened since half for holidays at pick n pull





. My girls will be much happier.

 

Half doors?

 

That is going to be my guess. I have seen some really well made doors before too so it will be interesting to see what WK comes up with.

 

Yes, with a few twists. Lol. Gotta wrap some other things up first. Have a "simpler" day run on Rubicon in 2 weeks to be ready for.

Made some extra clearance.





Next up





Already had it broke just no pic.
