no I think you got them from Homefries. I was just curious.

[79coyotefrg]

OH   

yea  i think about 30 seconds with a grinder on the bumper will get them to fit

[Homefries]

Glad to hear you finally got them, but it sucks that they don't screw right in.    But I am sure you will make them fit nicely.    I was in a hurry to send them to you so I didn't put a return add on them.

[79coyotefrg]

thanks Homefries   yea  they 'll fit fine after  a  touch of the grinding wheel

[79coyotefrg]

made a new front shaft



first try was about a inch too long





tacks





grinding excess off so its not too far out of balance





finished    

[THK Matt]

Stock slip? You have problems with that bottoming out or pulling out? 

[Rocksurfer]

I think it needs more grease there Glen.

[79coyotefrg]

Stock slip? You have problems with that bottoming out or pulling out? 

ive measured carefully  to work it so  that it doesnt bottom out, if it pulls out  well    as long as it doesnt bottom out,  i cant afford a long slip kit right now  but you can see in the last pic i have one ready for a long slip as soon as i can afford it

[79coyotefrg]

I think it needs more grease there Glen.

i didnt have the motivation to disassemble the cv  to properly clean it 

[79coyotefrg]

i busted the ring gear in my rear axle



i guess i'll have to install the 5.29's Marlin sent me

[unclejpl4x4]

i was just gonna ask how the truck  did

[YotaJosh]

Sorry about your gears. I've got a set of 4.37's if you want to stay higher geared. They are still in good shape as they came out of the front. Maybe the 5.29's will motivate you to get some bigger rubber.  

Your truck looked good this weekend, and flexed up pretty nice.

Glen WTF!! what did you do to her?

[79coyotefrg]

thanks Josh,  i'll let ya know



Rex,   i was on a  near 45 degree angle  and thought i was in first  to start easing downhill, but  for whatever reason i was in reverse, i let it rolled forward slightly then slipped my foot off the clutch to start  the engine,  needless to say it didnt move when i started the engine and went to drive forward i heard this crunching sound

it would go forward a few feet then the drivers side back tire would lock up and drag, this happened i think maybe 4 times then i got it in 2wd  and  made it on down to camp

later  drove it home 45 miles  at 40 mph nearing home it sounded like i was stiring rocks in a barrel  with a big stick 

[unclejpl4x4]

       just like when u 4got 2 put it in 4wd going down that hill............  I think glens geting senile

[79coyotefrg]

or maybe the first time i drove it after  i got it back together and forgot to put lube oil in the diff

it must have gotten hot enough to take the temper out of the gears   i'll know when i get it apart

[V-Man]

I am thinking the oil missing may have something to do with weaking the gears.

[79coyotefrg]

yea  im thinking that HAD to  be the problem 

[THK Matt]

IT WENT OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY!

[79coyotefrg]

IT WENT OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY!

 

[Rocksurfer]

back in the saddle!!!

[46&2]

That is a good picture right there.

[mudmaster]

Is it fixed yet 

[79coyotefrg]

no  but i got the rear third out today, they seemed to be binding together, i couldnt turn the pinion at all by hand,  i removed the carrier  and i STILL couldnt turn the pinion

removed the pinion nut  and it fell out,  i inspected the gears and it looked like it had gotten hot, ring gears appeared to be  blue in places,  pinion teeth  had  "spots"  i found a place on the carrier where something significant had been smashed between it and the pinion but  what could it have been??

[79coyotefrg]

the blueing is probably from running with no oil
