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

[papa mike]

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.

if you need  thirds i have front and back  they are stock 410 but if you get here  you can have them for the 571

You better break out the sawsall on those rear wheel openings and where is the pinion pointing?

You want it pointing at the Tcase flange if you are using a CV shaft.

The pinion is pointing at the tcase.. it's got a crazy angle, but that's the way it's been.

Thank you guys! Looks like the Migo might see the trail this year after all I'll be keeping in touch with WM regarding the 5:71's....

Thanks... I tried calling Mike to see if he could bring them up but I can't get a hold of him.. we're playin phone tag... actually I was told HE posted on here for me to call him... but now that I see it was Glen posted it, I guess I'm doing the tagging   Either way I'll see Mike tomorrow, and if he can't bring the thirds up, I'll see if I can get miner mike to just ship the thirds out to you and I'll paypal him the money or something.

Thank you to miner mike and BigMike for supplying and bringing the diffs up! I'll be getting them to the post office on Monday most likely, allowing this weekend to take the 4:10's out. 

[*FFC* [OP]]

Didn't take the 4:10's out, Mark says

No biggy though, I go to the post office this afternoon to get them in the mail



Meanwhile, I got some new rock lights These will be going in most likely this week sometime

[*FFC* [OP]]

Thirds are en-route to Jacksonville right now

[*FFC* [OP]]

Since the shock crossmember attempt didn't work today, I decided to figure out which route to go with a bumper.  I don't want to install my new rock lights until I know I'm not going to smash them... and I figure I can throw a bumper on in an evening.. even if it is simple.


So, this is where I got....

I put the tubes in like that, just getting an idea where to cut to put the bumper...

I'm looking for suggestions.. picture ideas, etc.  I will be doing this next week I hope... so I got a little time to brainstorm.  Just trying to get a feel for something not too ordinary, not too complicated, but something that'll protect my grill and later on, my headlights

[*FFC* [OP]]

So the only real progress I got done today was getting my front bumper and my shocks off

Bumper Ideas

But at least it's a start....

I did some welding on my truss in the front





Cut the crossmember that ended up being too friggin short

[Tallchevy]

The lower open area above the "D" rings could be a future winch mount.

Ramming speed captain!

[MiniSimp]

  Kinda like WhiteTrash's front bumper

[CTENG in KS]

 

[*FFC* [OP]]

I'm diggin the stinger idea..... something not too heavy, but enough protection to protect my headlights for the most part... and my lower part of my radiator


Lookin great guys Thank you.. keep the ideas comin!!

[*FFC* [OP]]

I like that style.. unfortunately, there ain't nothin quick about that It's kinda like my Ford bumpers...

[854RUN]

Whats up with the javelins on the front? O are they for roasting marshmallows because that would be sweet?

No I put them there to give an idea where the mounts could be... either there welded on, or I can use the original bumper mounting brackets

[854RUN]

i still think marshmallow stick would rock 

[Tallchevy]

FFC   Check out the bumper I found in the back yard
