Beer is a good payment, food and a place to crash is always a plus.
When are you going to be back in the states?

I won't be back till the end of november. I plan on makin sure I have plenty of wrench time before clayton. I may have to freeze my cahones off that time of year, but what the hell. The truck is about to head to the shop to get the 60/70 put in, the "Hank Hill approved" conversion, and maybe the newish cab and body. It will still need the hydro and oba. Unless you want to tackle the pane conversion your self.

[Reckless]

I can do the pane converion, cant be that bad. And help whoever needs it for ya to get ready by clayton time. I have no rig of my own

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I am getting ready to order the transfer case next week and wanted to know what yall thought about cv flanges versus 1310/1350 u-joints.

[AggieTJ2007]

I would go w/ a 1350 CV

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I ordered the atlas a week or so ago, and got some bad news yesterday. Atlas goofed on the price, but said they would ship it in a week or so as someone backed out on their order. So hopefully it will be in soon and White's can get it in and get the d-shafts made when he gets the 60/70 under it. This will be a big relief to get this stuff done so soon.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I updated the cost tracker again, I think I am just about finished with the major cost items other than the hydro steering. I am gonna have a shiite load of work when I get home.

[AggieTJ2007]

wow, looks like its comming along pretty good,

have you seen the new 54" boggers?

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Thanks, I just have to get it all put together now.

No, I haven't seen the fittyfows. I would think that would take rocks to run those, I just dont see how a 60 could stand up to em for long. Maybe on another build way down the road....

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Well, this finaly made it on the trailer with the truck and got dropped off yesterday at the mechanic.





Now he can get the axles under it, mount the transfer case, and get the d-shafts built

[DRAGOONRANCH]

OH, btw, thats g-ma in her mowin shorts

You gonna wheel this or the jeep in clayton? Who's doing the work?

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Both, my brother should be makin the trip with me, and if he cant make it I will just let somebody drive one. I would like to get a little seat time in both while home.

Quentin White, he's in Barclay Tx. He does all our familys mechanic work now. Real good, thorough, and will give you a break if you can drop somethin off and let him get to it when he has time. Will tell you real quick if he doesn't know about something, he doesn't like to just change parts till the problem is fixed.

Dibs!

What's the to-completion-date looking like?

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I don't know yet, I have to get intouch with him. He has had the axles for over a month now, and if he has them finished then it wont be long I am sure. Hopefully by the 1st of December (this is when I get in from the sandbox). I may try to slip into 47 when I get home to get a feel for both vehicles before clayton. Hopefully it all gets done, but we will see.
