So James and I installed the front axle today. Took almost 5 hours total for the front. We also got the back axle off and torn apart. I welded up the open third about 10 minutes ago. the third with the detriot is now in the front with the new Longs. I just have to put the rear axle back together with the new clearanced housing. Pictures soon to come. I am going to eat dinner now and then will get back on it after dinner.

My truck is fawked for at least 3 days. I need a new rear axle bearing for the drivers side. and i aslo need a bleeder falve for the IFS rear axle. appearntly they are different then the non IFS rear axles. Here are some bleary pics. I will take better ones tomarrow hopefully when it is lighter and of my mom doesn't have the camera.

Hyena · April 23, 2005, 10:12:33 PM

last ones

Hyena · April 23, 2005, 10:17:30 PM

this should show "about" how much more clearance it gave me.

Makman · April 23, 2005, 10:57:03 PM

Pretty burly.

Now you just need to go bash it on some rocks and let us know how it does.

Did you end up with any pinhole leaks or are they all sealed up tight?

Hyena · April 23, 2005, 11:20:48 PM

I haven't seen any leaks so far. I was expecting some but i got lucky.

Edit: the front leaked a little over night from the bottom of the pumpkin. So it wasn't leak proof. I welded it up and grinded it down. the rear hasn't leaked yet.

Hyena · April 24, 2005, 03:24:25 PM

Little bit better pictures. Seems there is something wrong with the camera, always bluury on the left sife of the pics.

Hyena · April 24, 2005, 03:24:50 PM

more. Shock mounts i fabbed up today from scrap metal.

Hyena · April 24, 2005, 03:25:15 PM

more. Front axles had 11 1/2 inches of ground clearance under the pumpkin. Can't measure the rear yet becasue the axle shaft is still out.

Hyena · April 24, 2005, 03:25:33 PM

last. Poor truck has a broken leg.

TrackVino · April 26, 2005, 11:38:31 AM

Truck is looking really good, but why are your pictures a little fuzzy?

BigMike · April 26, 2005, 11:49:45 AM

Clean your lense and hold the camera still!!

Thats why. And we finished it up today. Toy on 40's replaced my rear axle bearing. Me and James (Jack8542) brought the axle home and put it in. We then bled the brakes and took it for a spin. the brake pedle never felt good. We kept bleeding them and it didn't work. I then noticed brake fluid coming out of the passenger front brake line. I looked at it and found a hole. We repalced the brake line with a spare one i had and bled them again. they felt better but not great. Im gonna drive it to school tomarrow and finnish it there. no pictures though. my mom took the camera and she won't be back untill thursday.

Hyena · April 26, 2005, 04:35:36 PM

Linse is clean and it camera was still. It never used to make the pictures blurry like that. o well, my mom will find out and maybe get it fixed.

Hyena · February 16, 2006, 09:31:33 PM

O

, i forgot all about this thread. Well, it has been about 9 months since i put them under the truck and they are killer. The housing are holding up great. the only problem is that they both leak from the third member to housing flange. I have had them apart both a couple times to try and fix the leak but it comes back. Maybe it got warped when i did the final welding. Weird, i am not woriied about it. the front housing isn't even warped after doing full-lengthed welding beads on the top gusset. I have dropped the dif on some rocks hard and they are still holding up.

burnyota · February 18, 2006, 02:04:44 PM

nice job, how many hour do you think you have in the shaving Hyena?

Hyena · February 18, 2006, 04:01:29 PM

I have no idea. Not as much as you would think. I only got to work on them a couple hours a day if that because if school. and they took maybe 2 weeks to build. So maybe 3 hours per axle. If i new what i was doing it would have taken less time.

burnyota · February 18, 2006, 05:28:16 PM

looks like it works

_HOIST_ · February 18, 2006, 06:41:00 PM

looks like you could use a mig huh?

Hyena · March 22, 2006, 07:24:06 PM
