Very cool man!! How is he doing?

He was in very good spirits! has had 11 surgeries on his back in the last 3 years. His wife joked about him being 'her six million dollar man'. He was walking with a cane but it didn't seem to slow him down. He was climbing under rigs, to point things out, and up into his frieghtliner like it was nothing. He couldn't stop showing us stuff. It was great!

Longfield output. Couldn't justify paying for marlins when no one has broken one of Bobby's.

Clean.

I power washed a dual case setup like that and it took 3 oil changes before there was no water to be seen in the oil. Just a heads up.

Hahaha I was thinking that same thing while I was doing it. Good to know. Lucky for me I get to take the cases apart.

Ah! I was hoping for links...

Frenched hangers are pretty damn sweet though

Slolyfe · « **Reply #281 on:** Sep 01, 2012, 10:36:08 AM »

Yea I'll build a link rig down the road. Trying to buy a house with a shop first.

OldGold3VZE · « **Reply #282 on:** Sep 01, 2012, 03:53:29 PM »

If you buy a house with a shop you will like whatever rig you already have, the way it is, cause you will spend all your money and time on the house. That's why I'm building a leaf sprung buggy, no money left over.

jrock · « **Reply #283 on:** Sep 01, 2012, 04:27:59 PM »

Why not inboard the springs?

Slolyfe · « **Reply #284 on:** Sep 01, 2012, 04:37:09 PM »

Hahaha I know. But we will see, I have filled this garage and property a little to quickly.

I was thinking of inboarding them but the propane tanks sit right inside the frame rails and I'm kinda lazy. It flexes fine for leafs and with the bed on my up travel is limited anyway.

jrock · « **Reply #285 on:** Sep 01, 2012, 04:42:26 PM »

Gotcha.

Slolyfe · « **Reply #286 on:** Sep 05, 2012, 11:01:37 AM »

The shackle angle is a little more than I wanted with the truck empty but I have one more leaf I can add to the pack.

Slolyfe · « **Reply #287 on:** Sep 05, 2012, 12:54:28 PM »

Got the perches off.

MRHilux87 · « **Reply #288 on:** Sep 05, 2012, 09:50:10 PM »

Plus, you're holding the truck up by just one leaf pack. I think it'll be good.

Slolyfe · « **Reply #292 on:** Sep 07, 2012, 08:01:59 AM »

With the t cases bobby shaved .3 mm off the second step on the output, the gears still were binding so I took another .4 mm off the thrust washer which freed everything up.

True, but still going to trough one more leaf in.

Slolyfe · « **Reply #293 on:** Sep 07, 2012, 10:26:47 AM »

Got the pinion angle set and the perches welded on. Measured the driveline and don't need to add any length.

Slolyfe · « **Reply #294 on:** Sep 07, 2012, 01:25:08 PM »

Got all the frame plates cut.

Slolyfe · « **Reply #295 on:** Sep 07, 2012, 02:13:37 PM »

All welded up. Welds look waaaay better in person.

Jud · « **Reply #296 on:** Sep 07, 2012, 04:50:34 PM »

Looks like ASS!!!! haha jk, now get to Moonrocks tonight!!!

Slolyfe · « **Reply #297 on:** Sep 07, 2012, 07:31:07 PM »

I almost called in sick tomorrow. But it wont be done. Sucks. See yea next weekend.

Slolyfe · « **Reply #298 on:** Sep 07, 2012, 07:58:23 PM »

You guys were right with the leaf back in and both springs it sits like it should have. Also put in a new u-joint. Now just gotta bleed the brakes, lengthen the exhaust, throw on the tires, and buy beer before the round-up.
