Dingman's Build Thread

lmao heath..

I haven't actually timed it, or if i have i don't remember.
Its nice that i don't have to disconnect my rear brake lines when im pulling a diff, it saves a bunch of time. lol

[P-DiseToy24]

First mod I did on my 85 was extend the rear lines so I didnt have to undo, bleed, connect, and re bleed them..... I should put this on the toyota tricks forum, haha

[THK Matt]

ya'll extend them with soft lines?

Started assembling my 3rd today at work.   Spent a little bit of time grinding out my old bearings and races so i have a set of setup bearings.  Put it together twice and the pattern is "okay" gonna fine tune it hopefully tomorrow and see where it goes.  Only get about an hour after work to mess with it so hopefully it goes together smoothly tomorrow.

Then once i get this thing done i will be able to fab up another front driveline so i can hit the snow soon.

[Dingman.]

[86bobbedtoy]

hows that diff workin?

[Dingman.]

So far its great heath..   

Glad im actually able to say i learned how to do it.  Thanks to my boss for showing me how to and checking it over to make sure it is good.   Really quiet setup im happy so far.   Have been driving really really mellow to break it in and its hard for me to do lol.   

One more skill ive learned and its a pretty good feelin

[Dingman.]

Installed it, changed my oil, an did my front brakes. Im ready to go to the snow.
