flem shortened a frool pump assembly at one point...get creative.

I bet it's gonna be interesting if I ever have to pull mine :D

[colman]

he's gonna put in a fuel cell. i'm trying to get him to bob the back to get a better departure angle and get rid of extra steel

[uglyota]

yeah he spends way too much time *****footing around on the trail worrying about his sheetmetal :D

[FJAggie07]

^^^ :laughing::laughing::laughing:


EDIT: p*ssy is blocked? What kind of blanken**** is that?!?

[uglyota]

s'alright pooosy looks funnier anyway :D

[bcolman]

after the last trip i had some things to fix, i broke the two studs on the passenger side of my dana 60 that are used instead of a u bolt, i broke my dana 60 yoke and my battery fell out of its tray

here are some pictures of how i fixed my front axle on the trail, what happened to my battery and where i moved my new to me battery to so it wont happen agian

[bcolman]

and one more

[mudtoy67]

Interesting fix on the spring plate...:)

[bcolman]

i was surprised at how well it worked, i wheeled to the bottom of the trail, and it wasnt an easy trail with out the axle moving any, but then my battery decided to jump out of its tray and thus get destroyed

[colman]

i did tell you your tray mount was crappy like a year ago......

[TdmayfieldIV]

i did tell you your tray mount was crappy like a year ago......

Yeah I saw your battery tray wiggling around on a trail before that happened.......I decided you already knew the problem and:flipoff2:

[bcolman]

its not the battery tray, it was the way that the battery was being held in, i did not have anything going all the way around the battery to hold it in

[bcolman]

so i finally pulled the axle out to fix the studs that broke and found that i have a broken spring, now i need a 52 inch spring, or maybe i should just link the front so i dont have to fix the studs and the spring

[85cj7]

Fixing broken stuff sucks, installing upgrades is fun. Go for it!

[DRAGOONRANCH]

ausfag is right. link that hoe!

[colman]

maybe if his frame wasn't bent like a pretzel

[DRAGOONRANCH]

and maybe if you logged on more than once a week we would pay attention to what you said... :flipoff2:

[colman]

sorry, non college life has me buisy and right now no computer at work....

[DRAGOONRANCH]

:eek: find a neew jobe!

[colman]

[Sparling]

http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/pts/1883898070.html

Get this for him so he can link it.

[colman]

i thimk he may have something up his sleve....

[bcolman]

well i worked on it today and got the 60 back under it by using a ubolt instead of the two studs in the housing, if anyone else is planning this fix you will need a 5 inch ID u bolt

now i just have to figure out all of the other little stuff to fix to get it back on the trail......

[stx4wheeler]

Brian did you notch the webbing or drill it near the tube and run it through? Also, how long was it? Or do you have a part number for it so I can get the guys at Heitman to find it much easier.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Pictures damnit!

[bcolman]

here (http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showpost.php?p=7828511&postcount=14) is what it ended up looking like, i didnt make it back out to my ranch today but should be getting some pics brought back to me tomorrow.

frick-the ubolt measured 5/8"x5"x~13"(i did cut off about 2 inches of the thread on each side once i installed it so you could go shorter), there isnt a part number for the ubolt as they make them custom for you while you wait, i waited for maybe 5 minutes for it to be made,

[bcolman]

here are some pictures of how i did mine, all i still have to do is modify the spring plate

[85cj7]

It might be the angle, but, can you get the diff cover off?

[bcolman]

i cant, i will have to take the ubolt off to remove the diff cover, there is no way around this issue

[85cj7]

Judging by the ground down lower bolt heads I would guess that this is not a major worry of yours!

[davido]

Why would one remove a diff cover? Oh yeah, to weld the diff. Ah, once and you're done. :)


So what u-bolt did you use Brian? Does it come stock on something?

Dave must have skipped SAT sections 1.1-1.3: Critical Reading :flipoff2:

[colman]

he had it made at heitman in houston who sells semi parts. they are off i 10 somewhere and they made it why we waited.

[bcolman]

what every one else said, ill change the fluid when i redo the spring plate and wont do that again for a while

i had it made at heitman in houston, its the place that frick suggested on the east side of down town, but just go to the nearest truck stop with a repair shop and they will make custom ubolts 24 hours a day

[TdmayfieldIV]

that is really the best place to get all u-bolts made, they are a higher grade than the stock replacement ones. When I needed new u-bolts in CO the local 4wd shop didn't have them so that's what I did, it ended up to cost half as much too.

[bcolman]

rebuilt my front driveshaft, now i just need the flanges back from the machine shop

[bcolman]

so i started tearing the blazer apart today......

[redcagepatrol]

wow!

[redcagepatrol]

wash it all first - you will be much happier working with semi-clean parts. At least hose it down. I would spray the engine with degreaser and hose off.

[Seth]

looks the same to me? :flipoff2:

[colman]

did i have 4 8 lug rollers behind the garage.....?

[bcolman]

yep, and there are 2 or 3 more back there

[stx4wheeler]

wow!

It's not that hard to disassemble when it's all put together with zip ties :flipoff2:

[colman]

and rachet straps

[bcolman]

zip ties and ratchet straps only held the fenders on

[StevenAg03]

what else was removed?
