Finally, SAS'ed the Migo... and she sits.....

*FFC* · November 24, 2006, 07:42:22 AM

I realized yesterday that the stock exhaust for the Migo is sitting in the bed of my Ford

So now if it doesn't smog then I can slap the stock exhaust back in and it should pass with flying colors

I was so sure I threw it away

But I found it!!!

No luck yet, with the holidays comin up, I don't know what's gonna happen when. The break in in the truck totally messed up our trailer usage. They got the keys to the hitch lockS and we have to drill them off, however we can't do that till we buy new ones cuz we don't want the trailer getting jacked, so we've gotta wait till we buy new hitch locks, and that's another $40 we can't afford

Naw, nothing new lately. It's been sitting in the garage since the roundup $I\'m Down$ BUT I have a few bucks saved up I'm planning on getting some 5:29's for the axles, smog/register before MCR6.. and maybe even gear the Tcase, but that's after the axles and the smog/reg.

No new pics either, as I can hardly see it in my garage

i'm not sure yet. if I have gears then I won't really need it so

We'll see. Gears are my number 1 priority, and I MIGHT need a clutch

Oh Gawd you doing this too, everyone at my work is doing this. So you hurt the little gas store at the corner but you ain't gonna hurt big oil, and those are the ones that count. The only way to get them to sit up and take notice is to stop driving unnecessarily everyday then they'll realize that they've priced themselves outside the market. That's what they do boost the price and see where we stop buying and then lower it until we start again and usually we start way before we should. Just think if we put our skinny pedals away for a month and just got to where we needed to be only. No wheelin', biking, quads, boats, etc. etc. Then they'd really drop those prices.

It's not going to impact the oil companies at all and the only way it might affect the local stores is if they need todays profits to pay a bill today or tomorrow which is very unlikely. I assume everyone will go back to getting gas at the same places so it makes not difference at all. As long as everyone is still driving around, the same amount of fuel is consumed. If everyone parked their auto's for a tank of gas then maybe someone would notice from the lost revenue, but even that wouldn't really matter.

it's a good excuse to stay home and work on my rig

So Matt's researching right now for the overhaul procedure

Let's see how well this goes...

any recommendations for an overhaul kit?

Or just pull it apart then ask?

unclejpl4x4 · May 15, 2007, 02:53:51 PM

take it apart then go get some bubbleyum

*FFC* · May 15, 2007, 03:14:40 PM

Got the procedure

*FFC* · May 20, 2007, 04:31:13 PM

I pulled the adapter off the front of the tcase today. I think I found out why the leak was so bad. The gasket was saturated and didn't have any effect on the bottom of the tcase. I pulled the gasket off, cleaned it up real good, put some sealer in, and bolted it back together

I'll put fluid in it in a bit, but I have to head out of town in 30 mins and I"m off to

Matt's got the pics

Blingn · May 20, 2007, 10:59:38 PM

Here's workin on the Tcase... didn't get none of it apart

And the

gasket that saturated

I pulled the front off and found out I *think* the leak was due to a

gasket. So I cleaned the surface and resealed it. I'll put some fluid in it before I mount it back up and make sure the leakin's stopped. Not much done to it, and it's a pain to get it on and off the Migo, but it had to be removed in order to pull the adapter off

The bearing seems fine, guess i'll find out when I get some

to get some gear oil

Blingn · May 21, 2007, 02:17:15 PM
