I tried but I couldn't find a payphone anywhere in that village of yours. My cell had no service.

, I even went by your house, but somebody was nowhere to be seen.

This is NOT a pic of the finished weld, it's got more beef but I didn't take a picture of it. There is a plate on each side of the carrier, and the gears themselves are welded together.

I didn't want to get on it too hard, but there is two patches of rubber there!

I also got rid of my LSPV arm.

Careful, those have a tendancy to explode while leaving Tahoma to South Lake.

Carry a spare.

Dave didn't weld this one.

I've got some spare 4.10 units

, so come Rubicon time, I'll have one stuffed away.

You know, this is one thing I swore I would never do, but with MCR coming up quick and I have no cash for an Aussie, not to mention the delivery time, I figure WTF?

Yeah, mine worked fine for the whole trail, it was the trip home on the street it didn't like.

How am I not supposed to make a nasty joke out of that.

Bummer though.

Wierd. Let me guess, loud explosion sound, and when you pulled it, the plate steel was no longer welded to the spider gears....

Duffil · « **Reply #317 on:** Jul 03, 2007, 07:21:50 AM »

unlock/lock twice/3times, wheels locked, spit out driveshaft, and that's all she wrote. Haven't torn it down yet.

I'm just hoping the gears are OK.

If you need a spare, drive up to Dave's and pull the 3rd out of the 83. It probably needs some work, but between the 2 you can probably get one.

Just pull the front and put it in the rear. Simple right?

He is fast. Did you get a detroit? I read that you were asking about putting gears on one.

I'm thinking about it. I'm getting tired of dicking around. I'll post some pics of the carrier in a little while.
