u guys are cracking me up over here 

[Doof]

its a true story...ill explain in detail

so i unpacked the boxes of SAS stuff and layed it all out nicely on my work table to take a picture. this was after i (and buddy) had already taken the axle apart and had it on the stands. it was already painted at this point in its new life. and when i was done i realized i didnt have grease. so i asked chris what is the good stuff. he said go to the store and ask for derka derka (i dont remeber the name). so the next day after work i went to rebes. parked in the space two over to the right from the door. i got out of the stock 1986 toyota 4-runner sr5 and placed the keys in my left pant pocket. i turned, locked the door and lifted the handle as i shut it. once i did that i turned aprox 115 degrees to my left and walked towards the door. once i got there i opened it and took maybe five steps in. asked the guy where the grease was. he pointed and said the back wall. so i turned left and walked over to the back wall. once there i saw an assortment of sizes colors and tubs. i read the labels and after examining this one and the marina i picked the one i did since i dont need it for a boat. i paid for it and the rest is history....now it lives happily in my bearings just waiting for the next time i open it and get a new fresh glob out to repack a bearing or two

the end

Thats what bothers me right there.  A front hanger isn't something that "should" stay on, it HAS to.     I'm hoping you're right though. 

[Doof]

i welded both ends and 3 beads prob 3-4 inchs long on the front...i had to fill the gap so thats where the "should" came from


anyways started the sas at 12 and thought id let you fellas know


time to get back to it

[DTB]

...i had to fill the gap so thats where the "should" came from

when i did mine i used a piece of plate strap to fill the "gap"

Rofl. Nice!
I tend to use whatever i have around the shop... or whats left on the shop floor.. walls.. ceiling... 

Im guessing the Marine grease holds up to water better?
or does it come with a gun and dog-tags?

[Doof]

got done with the SAS almost....jsut need to finish up little things here and there and its tits.......tomorrow the rear will be done with duel shackles and then the steering will be finished as well...i cant get the brakes done yet because i got v6 pads instead of 4cyl so i have to wait till monday and get the right ones from MC...o well


the marine grease is actually marina but ye...
