Edit: nevermind the york brackets are for a V8. See since my jeep has a V8 I keep assuming everybody else's does too.
Sweet. I got the two tires that were leaking out at Katemcy fixed and spent the rest of the day buying a new saddle and successfuly cutting my left index finger almost completely off.
I did however finally make new brackets for my cattle guard on my truck and fixed everything on it. Now I don't have to worry about hitting **** anymore, the new brackets are beef. Damnit I can't ****ing type with this thing wrapped up...
Drill Press=1
Finger=0
Going to 4wheelparts tomorrow to get a couple things.
The shaft Mark owes me will be here monday. I want to save money and get a couple other things before I go off and buy chromo shafts just yet.
BTW- I pulled off the bandage over my finger and got to see just exactly what happened. Basically the bracket I made and the vice sliced through the tip of my finger and took part of the nail with it. Now I have this skin/partial nail barely hanging on my finger... :gigem:
Unfortunately I wasn't wearing my Mechanix gloves I bought awhile back...lesson learned.
I went to 4wp. today and bought a highlift and some new lights for my truck. I was so close to buying a Powertank but I just couldn't shell out the 450 for the whole package. We'll see though...
I'm running stock u-joints right now with the excpetion of "uber duber" tom wood's extreme duty ones on the rear driveshaft. I'm going to do like Robert said and just wait and see how it does at TCC before I go off and spend money on chromo's and ctm's.
Talk to Brandon about cutting fingers "almost completely off"
it would have been worse if you are wearing gloves. Drill press and gloves don't go togethere very well.
Yah I dont see how 1/16" of soft leather is going to slow a drill bit down. I can deffinately see it making it worse by tangling the glove and the shreds of your finger though. I only wear gloves when its cold, but then again I'm not as dumb as you.
At least I'm not illiterate.Quote:

I also lowered the Jeep 3" and evened it out so it doesn't sit lower in the front anymore. I tore apart the hub/rotor/knuckle and pulled the broken shaft out. I can't believe someone would actually weld a shaft together, not too mention I still haven't gotten the replacement so in order for me to make Katemcy I need to find one fast.
how did you lower it? different shackles?
Bags.... :flipoff2: Just moved the holes in the shackles.
I forgot to mention I spent a little time junkyarding a couple places today. No luck on the shaft, but I did find an old 4runner and a couple waggy's. None of the places had any front axles sitting around like Gordon's does so that kind of sucks but oh well.
Edit- Feller, I did find a couple shops that specialize in the hydraulic stuff.
Well I ordered a new inner and stub shaft plus u-joint. I actually called polyperformance and was about to order superior shafts for the front....until he told me the price. Even I'm too much of a joo to spend $400 on 2 CTM's and a total of $810 for 2 stubs, and the inner's...fawk that :eek: . So I just called Houston Drivetrain and they're ordering what I needed. It'll be waiting on me in Conroe when I get home later this week. :gigem:
I've had a few ideas that I've kind of been keeping to myself for awhile now as to where I want to go with my project next. Here's the list that I've come up with and pics of similar rigs
-Switch to reversed Yota springs up front
-Boatside
-Flatskid
-Stretch the frame in the rear
-Stretch the body (still thinking about this one)
-twin stick the 20 and add tera low gears
-etc...

Something along the lines of these. There's another pic of a 72 that I'm still looking for but I might've lost it.
We'll see how it does this time at Katemcy, but I've been planning on doing some tube work and boatside kind of like Scott's Patrol. As far as stretching it more, I need to find out how it feels now that it's lower. Last time, there were a couple of spots in which it felt a little too tall. Tubing would consist of sliders, stinger which would tie into tube fenders, etc...
As far as the drivetrain goes, I might have a little something in the works, but I'm not positive yet. We'll see....
