[TheCookieMonster]

oh my bad i thought you said you were going

ya i was wanting to go if i could come up with the funds. but im a broke ass plus my landlord is selling our house so i need to find another one now  ....i hate moving .....im going to the roundup next year no matter what 

[95SAS]

Nice yota, looks good i like floor you made for the flat belly.

Nice tow rig too.

Some updates 

well the last trip we were out we happened to find a mud/water hole....i should have stayed a far ways away from it but ...im an idiot  ... it is pretty much a natural spring that has no bottom. got nice an stuck in that, had to get pulled out all the way back through the hole...had water up to my dash ( of course i had the doors off also) so im done with mud...staying clear 

then a buddy of mine had to go in it too    ...he then got stuck...so i had to pull him out. thats how this happened





broke the input shaft on the rear case 

here is the other half still in the front coupler:





so i think its time for some marlin  total splines and a 4.7 gear set for the rear case...i also want to get the bobby long output shaft while im at it.

also pulling the front end for a well needed rebuild 

[toyotanner]

i really think you would never really use the 4.7 gears around here or anywhere for that matter.

[84socal]

i really think you would never really use the 4.7 gears around here or anywhere for that matter.

why would u think that
all i use is the 4.7s at the hammers  i just throw the rear case in low and go 
rather have that then two stocks

[toyotanner]

cause i play in the rocks and just stock duals is good enough for me... any slower and i would get bored. like i said just my

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

its all about the 4.7s and plus then ya get the total splines......

[TheCookieMonster]

im either going to have to buy a 4.7 gear set or a 2.28 to get the marlin splines. so i figure i might as well spend a little more and get the 4.7's. i have to take the case apart already so im just going to do it. the stock gears in the cases work well for around here but i want to be equiped to go anywhere.

I think you will be very pleased with the 4.7s. You still have a huge range of gears, now you just have super super low for those super super special occasions

thanks ...ya i had the plug welded in there for a couple trips cause i about ripped it out....so i figured it was a good time for it to go bye bye 

[TheCookieMonster]

  all welded up and wheeled down





i cut the lower pearch off flush with the front of the housing





drain plug gone 

[toyotanner]

looks like all its missing is an upper truss good work

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

the upper truss is a waste unless its 1/4" plate custom built.... the ones u can buy are bent sheet metal and you can not mount anything to them like a steering ram....
