[yotaboy79]

love the crawler it works flawlessly yep did every thing myself the only part i had trouble with was i didnt have the right bearing splitter for my press so i had to to some gerry rigging to press the peaces off the main shaft and one the driverside plug that holds the detent ball in was stripped out so i had to drill it out

[yotaboy79]

well it looks like the bed is finaly gunna come off i told my friends it wasnt comming of till it was demolished and it just so happens my friends love to play bumper cars heres some pics of the dammage from sunday

[yotaboy79]

 

[yotaboy79]

then i rolled then i broke a birf and i bent my rear bumper when i backed into one of them going about 15 maybey 20mph no pics of the roll just video but its on a vhs tape all in all it was one hell of a day and a lot of fun lukily the birf broke right at the end of the last trail we where going to do

[Hyena]

Damn, your bed is worse then mine.  Time for longfields!

[yotaboy79]

yeah it is that rope is the only thing holding the tail gate  closed and the only thing realy holding the bed side on is the tool box and the rope
ill probably throw one of the spairs i got from you in untell my next paycheck then order a set of 30 spline longs

[yotaboy79]

ive made a little progress i got the bed tore off and the rear crossmember is done if that thing bends its gunna have to take out the back half of the frame with it the main crossmember is 3x2x.180 wall and the two gusset piecese are .120 wall

I think you are missing something?  A bed maybe 

[prang11]

sweet!!!!

[lilbuddy]

Way to go Kyle...

I think after this trip to JV coming up I wont have much of a bed left over  Its still a longbed too so I might have a few new bruises when I get back..

[yotaboy79]

thanks little buddy, my suggestion is if you like your bed bob it now you will save soo much dammage

[yotaboy79]

the bed is starting to look more like a bed the panels are just sitting there, before i can weld them in i also need to make a few more panels and throw a few more braces in there
heres some pics

[toyo487]

Looks good kyle    Now get that 22RE in

[yotaboy79]

30 splines come before motor, i still havent compleatly finished the bed it should be done tomarrow

[yotaboy79]

shrapnel!!!
i broke another one the bell on the actual housing is so mangled that im gunna need a new housing i cant get the old inner axle seal out and i know i wont be able to get a new one in, ill just run it till i can get my greasy hands on another housing im ordering some 30 spline longs tomarrow

[Hyena]

Nice.  The birf i broke took out the seal also and damaged the seal to housing bore pretty bad.  It took me awhile to get the seal out.  I then had top use an air grinder to make the seal bore better.  but mine didn't break the bell, just the guts.  and pictures of the seal/bore?

[yotaboy79]

ill get some pics of the housing tonight
my 30 splines are on the way!!!!

[yotaboy79]

 

[Hyena]

Nice, no more worrying about front axles. 

[yotaboy79]

nope just hubs and ring and pinions lol

[6.72:1]

YES!

[Hyena]

I was worried about my hubs, but they surprised me at the Hammers.  They held up great.

[Ramrod]

cuz you drive like a girl, that is well untill you get mad then you drive like an idiot.  Just kidding

[6.72:1]

Do you guys have any videos of you wheeling that I could view?

[yotaboy79]

[6.72:1]

It's cool! You run the old-school camera like I got, it seems! HA!

Gotta love the 80s!

[YOTARICH]

It's been awhile since I have been on and I am impressed to see the progress.  Wish mine went as fast as yours but thats just how it goes.  Congrats on the longfields, I remember when I met you, you bragged that you never broke a birf, funny how quick things change.

[toyo487]

Hey YOTARICH was that you in Wilsonville last Monday night.  you were headed toward the freeway at around 11:30 or midnight?  I think it was do you have a marlin sticker on your passenger fender?

[yotaboy79]

[Hyena]

cuz you drive like a girl, that is well untill you get mad then you drive like an idiot.  Just kidding
