Feck it, weld it up!
That's my plan if Ryan doesn't have his old 8.8" carrier/gears that I can buy. I don't plan on having the ol 8.8" for much longer, summertime will bring the motor swap and won-ton's.
ya come buy and get them, the carrier is a little rusty
it is in the back yard
Untill you own an oriental, you better lay off the won-tons :flipoff2:Quote:

Jeep done. :gigem:
what was the problem witht he rear end?
the locker read the other thread
he said that he welded up the locker and that doesn't make sense, did he fix the locker or weld the spiders or something else, i did read the other thread thankyou very much
It makes perfect sense. He welded a drop in locker into "permanently locked mode"
i had never heard of doing that so my bad, heard of a lincoln locker so would this be a really expensive lincoln locker .. ?
The rear has or rather "had" a lock right/powertrax. Ryan and I looked at it after pulling the cover and noticed that it wasn't engaging. So we welded a piece of flat stock in between the two halves to keep it locked on both sides then ran a couple beads along each side where the teeth meet. Kind of hard to explain but it works.
you don't still have your original rear d44 still sitting around do you?
nah, I sold the d30 and d44 to Kopecki about a year and a half ago.
So I got to thinking last night about the color of my Jeep... I'm pretty tired of the black and red, not to mention the color scheme is that of a rival school. I mean I can't show up to their event representing their colors. So I came up with a new scheme that I've been wanting to try. It'll do for now until I get everything else done this summer and do a "real" paint job on it. The body is staying black but I'll have to wait until it's less windy to paint the cage, bumpers, hangers, etc... Pics to follow completion.
And less cold. If you try to paint in temps like this it will come out looking like crumpled aluminum foil.
Yes I already found that out while painting the rear btf kit when it was 40 something outside.
My front axle needs building if you've got nothing better to do than paint an already painted rig :flipoff2:
Just spray a block ATM on the hood and be done with it.
put the 'saw'em off' like on the lonestar showdown. oh wait a minute, you didn't go to clayton to see it. my bad. :flipoff3:

Eh, who am I kidding. There will probably be some good drunken **** talking this weekend. :gigem:
you should wheel it and at least scratch the paint before you repaint it
yea yea I know this paint scheme's been "played out" by alot of people but it looks a ton better than the red did. The red had started to fade a little and I didn't cover the top that well but I got it right this time around. Yes those are trashbags over the seats... I made sure to not spray over everything in sight. :D

that does look better... i dont dig the diff covers though. but thats just personal preference... i like it all one color.
Glad you didn't go with my idea....didn't work out like I had hoped. The green does look good.
One questions though. How much over spray got on pigpen and has robert noticed yet :D
you forgot your shock mounts, and thanks for steeling the paint scheme from my rail
The wind was blowing from the north so pigpen was upwind. Now, overspray all over the rest of the jeep is a different story...
No overspray on pigpen, I just assumed leaving the aluminum foil look he's got going alone. Still not sure on the diff covers either, might be a little much.
this is the reason I no longer associate with the local jeep club
solid color or single color + black. those are your heterosexual color options
I left the shock mounts and front shackle hangers silver to match the headlight grills. There really wasn't much overspray on the tub, the few spots there were I shot some flat black over. I did find some "spray dust" that settled on the gas tank and bedliner interior but it wipes right off.

You must have missed the Trick My Truck show where they did the grave digger themed truck and put tiny red LEDs in the head lights. You should do it :gigem:
now convince sharp to paint his thing something, anything but what it is
Man Flem, I'm just feckin' up by your standards... Choppin' the tub, using "played out" and ugly colors, etc... :DQuote:
