    That's more reasonable on price than I thought it would have been. Congrats. I was on monster garage's website one time, I thought I was cool!

    "Jimmy's 1979 International Scout


    This is my 1979 International Scout. I have spent a lot of time making it a reputable off-road rig; I like to rock-crawl with it, though it is also my daily driver between Dallas and College Station, Texas. I am the public relations officer for Texas A&M Off-Road. Everyone in the club is a huge fan of the show, and any of us would love a spot on Monster Garage. We think you should have a collegiate challenge … Texas A&M would win hands-down against ANY other university!

    ****ers!

    we pretty much rebuilt both axles last night... they are pretty much all new and ready to go
    did about a weeks worth of work in a night... thanks for all the help ryan and cook

    the spacers are why the tires fell off
    do not use spacers... i have them still if ryan wants them

    he now has like 3 spare hubs, 3 spare front shafts and 2 spare 1 piece rear shafts... he should be good to go.

    thanks for all the help guys, but consider yourselfs lucky that your work is done, after making the 3 hour drive, I have already stripped both axles with a wire wheel and lots of "simple green" repainted black, connected brake hardlines, and placed the rear axle on the springs. MORE FUN TO COME

    ok fair enough, well the projects not over for me yet, i'm still having trouble with the compressor. It did run but the actuators didn't work for the lockers, so i thoguht i would get rid of the crappy crimp on splices, BIG MISTAKE, so I removed a number of these which weren't really do there job anyway because the wires fell out when i started to mess with them, i soldiered the wires together, and know everytime i give it power i blow the 30 amp in line fuse. So a lot more tinkering is in order. Should get the 35s on tomorrow, so i'll post pics then

    i got the 35s on today and am going to flex it tomorrow to see where i rub, i took some before and after measurments with the 33s to the 35s
    1-transfer skid plate-before-14.25"-after-16.5"
    2-front u-bolt skids-before-9.75"-after 12"
    3-back u-bolt skids-before-9.25"-after-11.5"
    and for those for us that can't subtract thats a gain of 2.25"
    I also figured out all the wiring problems and have the compressor up and running as well as the arb's

    ok got a question for yah, i knew i wasn't going crazy when it came to this electrical stuff, i was right all along in the wiring, when i take the compressor out of the car and mock things up it works correctly everytime, but the second i mount the compressor (not messing with any wires) i blow a fuse every time. Is it somehow grounding itself through the car which is messing everything up. But more importantly how do i fix this. Currently it is mounted up under the passanger side dash. But it is isolated from the firewall by some leaf springs bushings i has lying around to minimize vibrations. So it must be conducting current through the 4 bolts that are holding it through the firewall. Any ideas??????

    does it blow the fuse instantly when the compressor kicks on, or does it take a second? are the air solenoids and switches and stuff on the same fuse as the compressor?
