OK...tell me what you guys think about this....

I found a good W56 and 2 cases with stock gears.....I can get an adapter and a bud built skid plate..

opinions on this set up??

What will break? What else do I need besides the driveline shortening? Any advice?

Thanks in advance

Good to go with driveline shortening (rear) drive shaft extending (front). BudBuilt is a good crossmember, and the W56 is a pretty good tranny. Go for it!

good luck with the dual cases, I just put mine in yesterday- not too bad the hard part is bench pressing the drive train into place with some safety straps!

This is the location where I broke my tranny......This hill is friggin steep....for once the pics actually kinda show how steep it is...also the ground had just un-frozen and snow melted making it treacherous (like a giant slip and slide) Once we started down it there were NO turn offs and no turning back. It took us a few hours to get DOWN the hill...including getting stuck in the ruts a couple times...

look at that front tire.....traction was NOT on our side that day!

Hmmmmmmm...those ruts werent that big last time I came down here

errrrrrbody on the trail gettin' tipsy!

I dont think Toyminator is gonna follow me down anymore trails lol

This was where I broke....The reverse gear didnt think it was a good idea to do a 7000rpm clutch dump (with a new centerforce).... we were able to anchor the front of the slider with a strap to a tree to get the front end in the ruts (Going to the right was not an option) then a strap on the back of the slider to swing the rear end into the ruts.....

DTB · « **Reply #1099 on:** Mar 12, 2008, 06:57:21 AM »

Oh, by the way.....that was just the road to get to the trails.....we never actually made it to the "trails"

maybe next time

Gittinit · « **Reply #1100 on:** Mar 12, 2008, 07:03:23 AM »

That looks like a fun trail to play on. Are there any rocks on this property dtb? I may have to see about joining yall on a local trail run/camping trip sometime.

Your gonna need a bumper if you keep running off the trails like that.

DTB · « **Reply #1101 on:** Mar 12, 2008, 07:11:39 AM »

Yes, there are some SERIOUS trails there (most have not been cleared yet).......like I said...that was just the trail to get down to the campsite/trail area.....

and yes, i do need a bumper....as soon as the C-runner is complete hopefully we can build one (christian, wink wink

) I have everything to make it

SEE this is why you need a cat D4LGP when you go wheeling

See... that last pic is enough proof for me. I SHOULD'VE gotten you that chainsaw for Valentine's Day! A box of chocolates ain't gettin' you outta that mess!

Cutting down trees on the trail is bad! We dont talk about that here

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #1105 on:** Mar 12, 2008, 07:30:56 AM »

kinda common around these parts because trails gotta be made when appropriate but those cali peeps wouldnt understand

DirToyGirl · « **Reply #1106 on:** Mar 12, 2008, 07:35:07 AM »

OK... Ok.... I'll be more specific. On a normal day I wouldn't think of snapping a twig at Victor's, let alone cutting an entire tree down. But if worse came to worse.... hey, I'd at least use the tree to BBQ something tasty! Does that make it any better?

unclejpl4x4 · « **Reply #1107 on:** Mar 12, 2008, 07:47:49 AM »

if it's an emergency and the tree whas the difrence between your life and rig crashing.then yes it's ok.........
