The build with no name.

[zippo]

So I have started on my next build after selling my last one. And the one before that.

This build has already and will be rather backwards. I don't even have a vehicle! But I have parts, lots of parts. My goal is to build the best rig my skills and wallet can. I am going to build the $$ chucks then worry about a vehicle. Weird I know.

The goals:
- 2jz
- Diamonds front/rear axle 9.5" ARB 5.29's
- 4wheelunderground links
- 4.7's/doubler
- All on 37's

So let get started.

I started by cleaning up some IFS hubs. I have also drilled them for six dowel pins.



ARP hub studs.



The new FROR plate allows you to use +05 4runner rear disk brakes with parking brake. I test fit everything.









Looks awesome!



I still have the other side. The axle is Full Float, 61"

I need to find a job, I keep building things with nothing todo. Made this from some 1x2x1/16 tubing and 4" scheduale 80 steel pipe. Rolls like a champ. 60ish for everything including the casters.

I need a horizontal band saw or a metal chop saw. I'm so tired of cutting this crap with cut off disks.

[Cheesemaker]

I like that. 

[John Doe]

I like that axle stand!!

Going to keep an eye on this one.
I have a good feeling about it.
Keep it coming.

Starting with a drive train and going from there is probably the right way to do it.  Then you start with what you want/need instead of compromising until you break enough to justify the build.  Kind of like putting sliders on a rig before you smash the rockers instead of after.

Thx for all the interest. So I ordered an MC08-XD and some COMP low range gears today. I couldn't resist!

[jimbo74]

so.... since you don't have a job...... why can't you start making this stuff for people? I am sure there would be some interest.......

[zippo]

Not sure how much of a market there is for me doing stuff like this and if I could support myself. I enjoy building stuff, the best I can, not sure I would do well slapping stuff together for people that want it cheap, quick and don't really care.

In on page one!

I am way impressed with that rear axle. Makes me wanna get one for my jeep

[zippo]

I have a problem...



HAH! No one of them is LittleSteves. I scored the two cases for $250 bucks. Not to bad.







Some rust on some of the parts but overall rather clean. Now to clean it up. Helipiot things I should polish the case. I'm not sure.

I am going to try something fun with the cases, have to wait and see it I can do it!

[OTO Phil]

Sweet find! I'm in Vancouver, WA, if you have too many cases, I'll take one off your hands

[redneckcustoms13]

Clean them up and anodized them a goofy color so folks can see your goodies when your on a hill lol

[OVRAROK]

 

[H8PVMNT]

Pink anodized would be sweet.  Then you could call your build pinky.

[OVRAROK]

some type of hydrographics would be cool

[zippo]

Got parts. Started cleaning the cases. Thinking of soda blasting them.



MC08-XD looks sweet! The marlin comp low range gears. Front output.

[emsvitil]

Marlin Red?


Is it anodized or powder coated?

[zippo]

Anodized! They come like that!

[HogCanyonHopper]

Garsh dern it well how exciting is that!!!   

[63W]

Sweet!!!

[helipilot77]

my desktop just got a new wallpaper.

So I am done cleaing the T-Case. They are so clean you can eat off them. No, for real, eat off them.

I don't really like Harbor Freight, but props for this cheap soda blaster. DID AN AWESOME JOB! Took about 20lbs of soda.



I know they don't look like much yet.



Ground for my low range gears.



Yeah, i'm that guy now.



This also did a really nice job! I wouldn't have done this, but blasting really did a good job and I prewashed them in SimpleGreen.





They are as clean as new. I even went in and ground the flash off, wirebrushed the threads and pin holes, cleaned up everything. They are so clean I can't bring myself to store them outside. I have them in my office on a shelf.

[blackdiamond]

Could you just reuse the soda after catching it in the tub?
