Welded diff in 30s in one busted trunion bearing gotta go to stealership and get robbed

I keep all my old trunion bearings as spares, just in case I find a broken one.  Having an extra trunion bearing in the trail toolbox is a pretty good thing to have!  I picked up a couple extra trunion bearings I found at the junkyard just to have some extras. 

[Jakesteads]

well i gotta clearance for my new shafts so no wheeling this weekend im gonna totally rebuild the front axle it looks like

[wakkjobb]

 
If you're not going that's fine; gives me more time to put the hydro and sliders on and get the brakes up to speed. Plus the weather is calling for snow showers through Monday so... next time. I'd hate to be in the middle of nowhere and have something major take a hot steamy shiite on us.


>>Dan

[Jakesteads]

ya IM seeing is scotty has a rebuild kit i am just gonna get it all back together like new this will give me time to lower the truck and add my bump stops

[Jakesteads]

found out why i couldnt get my shafts in... a booger weld was in the way of the shaft going all the way in!!!!! i die grinder it down now im good to go

[Jakesteads]

got my new top thanks zach!!! no more cold air in my cab

[PhantomD aka Zach]

Glad to get rid of that, it's great for me to take your old one too...

and I agree with you, that cage is not nearly as bad as it looks, I sat in it and it's comfortable!

Nice man, moving right along to!! Ya my passenger side of my axle is so messed up from breaken so many birfields man, i need a set of trunion bearings for it. but i don't think it will really matter cause the races are hosed too and the hole the race sits in is all messed. I'm just gona run it till it all goes to  . Hopefully it will last till runner is done, ha ha. I have a knew axle for runner so i aint sceeered. Keep up the work dude. So ya must be keeping it huh??

[Jakesteads]

ya i cant get any more out of it im just gonna keep it lol

[wakkjobb]

Well if the paint was in better shape... 

[Yota-Freak]

i cut the grill up to fit... i dont like how i cut it im gonna get another grill....and cut it a bit different, IE not cut the ends off.



dont those ends of the grill screw off the main part of the grill??

[Jakesteads]

i dunno i cut that way to fast... lol i need a new one i will take better pics later

took off my rock sliders... now my truck can fleX lol and boy does it flex... i might leave it the same height it seems pretty legit... the rear seems higher but i guess thats for when i load that bad boy down wtih DANS GEAR AND COOLER AND SPARES AND TOOLS 

[Jakesteads]

well today i lowered down the rear i had 4 springs 3 main springs and an overload well i took the overload out... id say its better atleast 1" lower in the rear...

didnt really get many pictures but here are some from today with my new ugly top... its getting painted tomorrow my wife even said my truck looks ghetto




drives side was done passenger side wasnt at that point\

[wakkjobb]

Yep, I'm glad YOU have storage! Don't worry; by spring I should have a slick under-bed storage area compartment thinger done... as long as I stitch my frame back together before then. Good Lord... that sucks.

I like the white top better than the 5 million pound Rhino Lined top anyways. What does she know about 4x4 style, anyway? 

>>Dan

[Jakesteads]

painted my top today id say big difference

i used black gloss rustoleum and rolled it on and used a paint brush where it was hard to get..

tomorrow im gonna do the front springs and try to lower it down about 1"... then im gonna measure for bump stops front and rear

[wakkjobb]

Next is a 12" bob, right? 

>>Dan

[Jakesteads]

Did you get a front bumper from him also?  They are pimp.

[Jakesteads]

front bumper was on it i didnt like the sliders cause they bolted on im just gonna get some weld on sliders plus my front tires were hitting them cause they were installed to far up....

i like my front bumper it saved the motor in the roll

[Volcom]

i like my front bumper it saved the motor in the roll

Exactly what a front bumper with a normal sized stinger / hood hoop should do in a roll!  Glad it worked out for you.

[Jakesteads]

couple shots of the stances the rear is completely lowered... the front might get some action this weekend... i gotta go flex it out on something to see if i can lower the front

oh also my full size spare and tool box is in there i think it looks pretty good

[NITE KRAWLERS]

WOW man look n good! Painted to is where its at. Now cut it down and bob it!! HA HA

[Jakesteads]
