Longfield output is ordered.

Tried to order the crossmember but fail-gears website is dumb and said there was an error completeing my order. Gonna have to call them in the morning.

I need to find two damn 23 spline inputs for sale to put in my cases.
Anybody regear their stock 23 spline case to a 4.7 and want to sell me their stock 23 spline input?

Maybe put a wanted ad up on pirate

That site gets a lot of traffic, maybe someone will have what you need there.

Looks like it's starting to really come along

Nice!! You will FINALLY be able to crawl!!

Dingman. · June 29, 2011, 09:24:24 AM

Ordered my crossmember.

Only thing left to do is wait. Everything i need i believe i ordered, but now its going to be a waiting game. Marlincrawler told me 2-3 months for the inputs, trailgear told me at least 2 months.

Fawesome

23 splines.
he knows enough people in yotas that he should be able to find you bout anything

Dingman. · June 29, 2011, 09:30:21 AM

Ah, okay i wasnt sure if you meant for gears or if he had a crossmember laying around. Lol
I just sent him a pm.

Dingman. · June 29, 2011, 11:39:04 AM

Just bought a turbo tcase. Anyone need a forward shift?

Just a reminder, keep your trucks locked guys.

I got a phone call from a buddy about 2 hours ago saying his dads runner got ripped off from his house.
Went for a drive and found it with the back end totally smashed against some trees on the side of the road about 10 miles from his house. Just got home.

Just a reminder

Wermz84 · June 30, 2011, 08:42:03 AM

I hate hearing that stuff. Drunk kids on a joy ride? based on the time you posted this?

I would also say do a good alarm. Not that anybody cares about alarm noises any more, but when it is your own truck in front of your house in the night the noise will wake you up. Also a good alarm will disengage the starter mechanism while on.

Dingman. · June 30, 2011, 09:21:20 AM

I couldnt tell you wermz. Looked like it was taken out and mobbed judging by the mud on it. I think whoever was driving came around a downhill turn too fast and spun the rear end out which would have gone down the side of a hill if it didnt catch a tree

Wermz84 · June 30, 2011, 09:26:28 AM

Damn. that just sucks.

Dingman. · June 30, 2011, 09:56:26 PM

Got some goodies in the mail today.

So does it look like your runner now? Always dirty and totally smashed?? Everytime I see it i just shake my head.. I remember when it was so clean!

Dingman. · July 01, 2011, 12:54:55 PM

So bobby's output got here on the second day after i ordered it. Which is pretty awesome.

Dingman. · July 06, 2011, 09:26:30 PM

So my frames cracked again on the driver side front corner between my steering box and.front hangar again. So this weekend I'm gonna be fixing that again. Got some square tubing from thomas so I'm gonn weld it along the bottom of the frame to the front crossmember like kiyul showed me.

Also kasey and I got the motor, trans and case pulled out of the parts runner. Also the steering box and the factory hardlines. Gonna be swapping those out hopefully this weekend while I'm fixing my frame to replace mine since it all leaks. Also gonna throw a fan shroud on since I got one. Why not can't hurt..

Tranny is still acting like its going to grenade any minute so still searching for input gears.

Dingman. · July 06, 2011, 09:30:41 PM

Also forgot, gotta swap brake boosters cause mine is going out.

Other than that the tan interior pieces are in pretty good shape. Anyone need anything
