[86rustbucket]

this bridge on rock creek rd. is starting to look a little 




there's not much snow keeping you from ending up in here

[yotatough]

Looks like it was packing well. Good times!!

[Jaysen]

look fun i want to head up soon.

[86rustbucket]

found a good deal on these and couldn't pass em up

[pumkin toy]

how much??  27's or 30's?

[86rustbucket]

they were cheap.......... dirt cheap  and they're 27 splines

but who cares    lifetime warranty is a lifetime warranty

[85yoter]

put up a picture of those beautiful twins

[pumkin toy]

27's will last you a while, i'm sure

[86rustbucket]

what these?   



or these?

[86rustbucket]

27's will last you a while, i'm sure

ya i'm only on 35's

you got 30's right?    i see you got them 4dees

[pumkin toy]

no dude I'm rockin 27's with stock inner shafts.  I flogged on them pretty hard in the snow this winter with no problems.  I did break a stock hub gear immediately after my first trip.  I replaced them with longfield gears and hve not had a problem yet.  The true test will be here in about a month when our trails open for the summer and I can go abuse it in the rocks.

[86rustbucket]

thats good to hear,  i should be good even if i score some 37's
i have nowhere near the power your rig does(22r carb) but i am 238 to 1

so when you busted the stock hub gear you didn't strip out the long?          also, are those chromo gears 65 each or a pair?

[pumkin toy]

yeah I think you will be fine with 37's.   yeah I'm 230:1 but I really havnt even used the lowest gear yet, its way too low for snow bashin.  I didnt completely break my stock hub gear. The groove around the gear that holds the snap ring was cracked and pieces were breaking off of it.  luckily I caught it before it completely broke and caused damage to the splines.  The Longfield hub gears are 65 each

today i started working on getting my york mounted up


i'm gonna make a bracket out of the factory york bracket from the volvo and a peice of 5/16th plate



started on the 22r side

[86rustbucket]

this is the factory volvo bracket that i cut down



then welded in a 2 inch spacer and gusseted it so there is room to get the bolts in




the bracket will look like this when it's done

[yotatough]
