[83 Crawler]

i might have a bench seat, its been at a buddys house for awhile, ill see if its still nice, and ill ask around for sure

[83 Crawler]

well got the duals i bought torn apart and ready to be put back togather once i buy the adpapter and 4.7s..

[yotaneck13]

you should really tear that kind of stuff apart on a bench or table top not just tear into it on the floor and scatter parts thats ho snap rings and spacers get lost and forgotten then reassembled with out and causes a lot more headache

[83 Crawler]

[patches]

Glad to see its coming along. I'm just waiting on brake plate elims and I can finish the front end for now

[83 Crawler]

backing plate eliminator ?

[patches]

Yea them ones

[83 Crawler]

ya im going to to redo whole front axle, and rear axle with new 529s to

[patches]

Yep my front end will be 100 percent fresh. Hopefully it holds and I did it right

[83 Crawler]

for sure dude

[BHT12]

I have seen a few people cut out the drain plugs or like you did shave it on the axles.. im guessing so you dont beat it up on the rocks but.. how do you drain the oil?

[83 Crawler]

just pull out the diff

[yotaneck13]

you can make youne of your diff studs a bolt and drain the oil that way much easier IMO than pulling axels and the 3rd everytime you wanna change gear lube

[BHT12]

That's a good idea. Pulling the third evertime to change the oil is a lot of work for something that should take one bolt.

[yotaneck13]

itll drain slow since the diff studs arent very big  and dif oil is thick but it works good and saves alot of time

[BHT12]

why not leave it and just let it get beat?

[83 Crawler]

its not like you have to change gear oil all the time? so im not to worryed about it, and my buddy still has his and it gets beat on so much he cant get a wrench on it to loosen it

[yotaneck13]

I'm big on maintenance .  so i change it religiously.  Just me i hate breaking that's all. 

[83 Crawler]

Ya I just never change gear oil

[BHT12]

i try to change all my fluids when there suppose to.. my grampa made me a believe when he changed his oil ever 3,000 and his toyota was at almost 700,000 when the oil lines cracked and started a fire... no rebuilds either

[83 Crawler]

so im changing direction on the build im going to keep springs power steering high steer front axle and t case from my first gen and start building my 2wd 3rd gen, once i get another daily driver, hopefully a 4 door 4runner, so i prob wont be wheelin for awhile
