I will be there deffinately.  Whether or not I have my rig is another story.  I have to work up the guts to ask my grandfather if I can borrow his truck to tow it up with If he says yes, then it'll be there... if he says no, I'll be riding with BLINGN XJ

still waiting on

By the time I was heading home I was so frustrated that I was driving the Honda and not the Migo that I totally forgot to take pics

Well, I was visiting thebeast8888 and he lent me a driveshaft.  He says it's out of an '85, that's what he was told when he bought it.  I can use it through the holiday he says, then I have to find another one.  that it's the right one if this works, then I just might drive my junk up

  Let's hope so for yer sakes..  This is also cool you get to see if it works without buying one first..

Well, I already know it will work cuz I tried the one that I bought last week.  That one took care of the rattling of the whole vehicle, cept the CV was bad so it hit the floor when the driveshaft spun.  This one doesn't look to have the angle that I need, but I'm hoping I'm wrong I'll know on Monday...

Well, this driveshaft I borrowed from Steve (thebeast8888) works.  Now I just gotta get the shock hoops bent up and welded on then i can go for a cruise.  Heading home tomorrow gonna try to work up the guts to ask grandpa if I can borrow his towrig

Why you need to tow it

[*FFC* [OP]]

Why you need to tow it

Because I don't find it wise to drive it from Livermore to Reno on its first trip on a new/used transmission that I haven't put any miles on.  And I know if I drive it I'll need the trailer, if I trailer it I won't need it I'd be a lot more comfortable towing it and enjoying the wheelin than drivin it up there and worrying bout not havin a way home that's all

Guess you need to turn on that girlish charm, and sucker grandpa then.

I hear that. I don't feel comfortable driving more than a few hours from home anymore.    

[*FFC* [OP]]

I'm gonna try, but I don't have any practice with it with him, cuz he sees right through me.  I'll just try to reason with him and tell him if I don't use it and I break then mom has to come get me, if I do use it and I break I can just use his truck to get my home

[Rocksurfer]

Even if he can, he will still enjoy your effort. So use the truth and the charm.

Well, I drove the Amigo home today (90 miles).  I got about 20 miles out and realized I had gear oil comin into the cab from the intermediate shaft.  So I pull over and take a look.  I was missing a crossmember bolt, so that left a lot of room for vibration I bolted it back on and drove the rest of the way with no problems We'll see tomorrow if it took much of a toll on it when the sun is out and I can see

  I hate being in such a hurry that I make silly mistakes..    Otherwise I'm glad it made the drive...

Good 2 here nothing  broke broke

I figure I blew the seal on the tcase when the crossmember was unbolted and allowed for so much vibration. I went about 20 miles on the freeway that way.... I went out to the Amigo this morning and oil is just puddled on my floor (have huge hole in floor over tcase).  I'll get on it... I'm goin to ask about a tow rig tonight If I can't tow it it ain't goin this weekend

Pics soon
