It is mine on a cruiser axle. Front range does not do a cruiser setupI think.

So after 4 months wheeling season is upon us and I decided to just put the old stuff back in. I went with 2.28 gears for now.

 :clap:

Bringing the zilla back to life here. I just spent the last couple days going over Cruzila.
Last August I hauled a Kubota into Rubicon Springs and had an axle break.

I could not get the inner shaft out on the trail and I have not moved the rig since it came back home. Today I'll take the axle apart and replace the birfs with 30 spline Longs :woohoo:

I also redid my main batteries with a marine switch and new 2/0 wires.

:usa:

Well after dismantling the front end I can say routine maintenance is a good thing.

One birfield trail fix rubbed the end of the birf. The martack was sheared when it broke.   :shocking:

The other was close to failure. the star had major chips off the edges.  :crazy:

Two upper knuckle bearings failed one was worn bad and the other died of water poisoning. :reg:

One outer wheel bearing has wear, daylight will tell if I can keep it.

I have not even pulled the third yet, the ARB was having leak issues for about a year.

I'll take a few shots tommorrow.  :goodnight:

Bringing an old thread back to life.................aaahhhhh :beerchug:


Well, here I am again repairing damage caused by excessive wheeling.  :smack:

I have ripped the bumper off and inspecting crack.

Going in for the Roundup this year, I was feeling something in the steering wheel when I heard a popping noise. I looked at the frame near Little Sluice and decided to go with it as the frame was cracked and just hitting the steering shaft. I ran it all the way in and out and home with no issues. I am glad to have not had to fix it out in the field.

I have decided to make a new bumper and plate the outside of the frame to strengthen the front 2 feet of the vehicle. I found out it was much worse than I thought.

Bad focus, but you can see the part that was hitting the steering shaft.

i have a few more repairs going at the same time. I hit the dial face on a lockout hub so I need to replace that. I found a crack in my skid plate t-case mount. So I fixed that. Looking at some of my original welds, I see I sucked at welding stick so I will fix those too.

New bumper. I have an 8274 winch so I need to remake the mount. I got some 2x5 and made a couple cuts and welded the m together. Then welding all that in the opening for the fairlead. I made some round spacers so the winch mount will be backed up too.

I need to take some more pics tonight.
