new parts:
new Poly Performance 4340 shafts
1 Poly Performance FJ-80 Birf
1 Longfield FJ-80 birf.
Comparison pics
Sexy Toyota Bling. Sweet!
why are the birfs from two different suppliers? (Maybe I missed it somewhere)
I wasn't going to buy a second one but then I noticed that I had some stripped splines and needed to.Quote:

so far:
+ for Bobby's being pre-greased
+ for Dave's (Poly Performance) for getting here much faster
Dave says that his shafts have not been broken yet... :gigem:
new shafts and Birfields in.
all important nuts and bolts checked and tightened.
new tranny mount in.
Still need to do:
adjust rear axle location
trim rear fenders some more
cut and move some tubing on the pass. side rocker panel to keep the tire from hitting it.
fix a few rock lights
re-install spare tire mount and spare
Get Dodge to start...
That could be the most important thingQuote:

Background:
- started with ram assist
- broke ram off in Clayon years ago
- tried without ram at Mason - it sucked
- went full hydro, didn't change the ram
- broke a front inner shaft in Moab
- changed the ram so it could turn right (full hydro)
- swapped to all 4340 stuff in the front end
- ripped off the ram in Clayton
- Slims fixed me up pretty good in Clayon, I thought I was good for a while
- went to CO - ripped it off again (stripped bolt hole)
- welded up the ram a new way in CO
- went to Clayton, notice slipping welded front end. Hold's but slips every now and them
Anyways - i am fixing it - the welded front end and the stripped bolt hole.
I'll never get time for the CJ... Working in KS tonight...
These pics are from last night - I couldn't get the 3rd member out without taking off a u-bolt. Couldn't get the u-bolt without cutting it off. Couldn't get the 3rd out without taking off one side of the tie rod. Typical crap...
BTW - the Bobby long joint still feels good - the Poly joint I am a little worried about - we shall see...
Scott you are starting way too soon. I still have a week or two before I start messing with the scout! Why work on a truck until the week before!?
Why didn't you weld the side/spider gears to each other instead of to the case? Seems like the tensile/compressive properties of welding the gears would hold better than the shear properties of welding to the case. I've seen it done either way, but I've always wondered why someone picks one or the other.
I welded my gears to each other and left the case alone. Thought it would make kind of a mini-spool (I know that's a dirty word). It's lasted pretty well, but of course, I don't wheel as hard, or near as much, as you do...
all 4 gears were welded to the case and to each other. They all broke. I'll just re-weld it - it'll be fine.Quote:
