FFC does the tcase have to be installed and ran to check for leaks or can you just put in the gear oil?

I think I'll just put gear oil in it and spin it... and if it doesn't leak then we'll drain it back out to mount it, then filler back up.

Got the Migo movin again!! (Cept for my battery is toast $I\'m Down$ so we have to keep jumpin it

) Got an early start today!

Me and MRsOYCJ went to PnP to find a starter for the Migo, but they didn't have one $I\'m Down$ So we came back home and the guys were still diligently welding/grinding/fabbing (On the Jeep). So I started flipping the leafs on the Migo and realized I needed some new shackle bolts. So we went to Lowes

and they didn't have any bolts near big enough. So we had to cruise around and find OSH. We got the bolts then went home, had lunch

then finally got the leafs done.

I welded up my soft mount on my crossmember for the tcase on the Migo, then Dave, Justin and Matt got under the Migo and helped me put it in. We got the Tcase in, the front driveshaft in and the rear leafs flipped around... I'm up to 95" wheelbase now

And now I don't even have a rear driveshaft long enough

I've been wishing for this problem for 18 months!!

I now have to re'design my rear shocks, as my front rear shock is extended, and the rear shock is stuffed... so I have to put new shock mounts in the rear.. and never did get them in the front, so those are priority too

Aaanyway, time for a shower and some

Damn, I've never seen it from that angle, it's too high, no wonder you had issues on Cadillac.

DUH

It does sit too high, but hey, it's LONGER NOW!!!

I don't have any side view pics yet, but I"ll get some next time I get the Migo out. When I flipped the springs around, I'm told it went up about an inch

But I don't see it

Wow I'm a mess... Dave figured he'd use my face for a rag and wiped his greasy handds on my face...

And yes, the pic was on purpose

I told him "surprise me" when they bought the i/c...

The welder never touched the Amigo on Sunday. I solid mounted the tcase

but that was all crossmember there

Tallchevy · « **Reply #653 on:** Jul 31, 2007, 11:50:50 AM »

It's coming along very nice. Are we going to see it at MCR?

Thank you! I doubt that it'll make it. Not only do I have to get gears in the tcase

I would need to find a way to tow it up to the trailhead

Tallchevy · « **Reply #655 on:** Jul 31, 2007, 01:21:22 PM »

Can you get a temp moving permit & drive it up there?

Most likely, but if/when I break I don't want to pay $600 to get it towed to P-Ville

We'll see... I have to see what it would take to get some gears... Not sure I'll make it if I don't get gears first $I\'m Down$

You want a free set of 5.71's? They are not in thirds, but are not that old.

I do have housings, but would need install kits.

Do you have any lockers?

Then you can run 38's

Hey WM! Maybe you could help with that too

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #659 on:** Jul 31, 2007, 07:32:02 PM »

I do have an old set that have been in the back yard for about 10 or more years.

But lets not get carried away here.

5.71's aren't the most desired gears, but for the price it would give a better crawl ratio without any lower Tcase gears.

Won't do much for hwy speed, but she should trailer it anyway.

I need to look, maybe I can find enough parts to put them together with out even install kits. I think I may even have a welded carrier.
