NICE.............

Is that a T-case style brake in the middle of that rubble?

Radd Cruisers · 12-30-04, 04:24 PM

Duuuuu, should of looked a little harder.....................

Auto shifter.

Rascal · 12-30-04, 04:26 PM

Git It!

The Roundup is right around the corner!!!

wngrog · 12-30-04, 05:15 PM

Fun!

cruiserrg · 12-30-04, 06:10 PM

Looks like you forgot one shifter for the t-case. I am also amazed you spent for the bing alum AN fittings and not cheaper JIC steel stuff.

redcorn · 12-30-04, 06:16 PM

Lucky bastard..............
Get r done.....

I am collecting the last of the parts to spring over the 60....

2005 is gonna rock!

Texican · 12-30-04, 06:31 PM

GIT'ER'DONE

Roundup preparations are in full swing down here!!!!!!

woody · 12-30-04, 07:21 PM

Lomax 4:1 kit for the t-case is shipping next week, twinsticks and the rebuild kit shipped this week. Still waiting for Novak to get off their dead useless ass and get their <bling> super short 32-spline rear output made....latest phone call said Jan 15....course, it was released in the rags Oct 2003 and hasnt been produced yet.

Tom Woods left me a voice mail and email this evening, gotta ring up tomorrow and discuss...believe Cruiser joints in the rear and 1310's in front (like I have now), small diameter front shaft, just gotta get new flanges on the t-case.

bolts for the flexplate (d'oh) and the fan/cooler for the tranny ordered tonite.

upper link plate and tabs are on the housing, just need to triple check angles prior to burnin 'em in hard...and see if my change for the leaf shackle will work or not.....

Tranny plan is clearanced for a driveshaft, linkage stuff for the AC cable is on.

beer is next....

I had to look twice at the birf to see what it was. It looked like you left one of your sex toys in the middle of the pile.

pics of the trans pan! I'm gonna do mine this weekend, I hope. I've spent way too much time on the 60.

We'll have to "race" soon. I'm interested to see how much slower a 700R4 with a 4:1 is than my TH400 with two 2:1s is.

Was that 700 good for anything other than a core? It had 200,000+ miles on it.

woody · 12-30-04, 07:56 PM

we replaced everything, it was a great core

....parts list was:

overhaul kit, bushing kit with teflon pump, filter, borg warner band, washer kit, torrington bearing kit, input sprag borg warner, low sprag borg warner, governor gear kit, reverse drum new delco, beast sun gear shell, no yoyo pump ring kit, t.v. cable, 700-2-3 transgo shift kit, 5-pinion planetary gearset, accumulator housing/piston All but the last two items were from orangefj45 (georg). Great prices, and he knows his autos. Local tranny shop did the labor, $250 for that.

All I did for the trans pan was take my 4-1/2" angle grinder with a sanding disc and grind off the lip until it was flush with the alum casting. Nothin fancy...real test will be when it's installed in the rig, see how the d-shaft will align up.

Slowerthanu · 12-30-04, 08:45 PM

You rock when it comes to tech.

This should be awesome!

orangefj45 · 12-30-04, 11:14 PM

that looks like it outta work out really well. i dig the super short trans adapter!

keep the pics coming woody!

HI^C · 12-31-04, 12:47 AM

Funny thing about Novak, they were suppose to ship me a prototype shaft 3 yrs ago, I had cash for them to make me a run of 30 shafts off the bat with more then that later, on a shaft that they were already working on a little before i contacted them. Well 3 yrs later no word, no product, and no prototype for me. I do like the products over most other companies, and service/tech but custom type items and deals like that just dont seem to important.

also did i miss manual lockup to 1mph (lol), and converter specs

bad_religion_au · 12-31-04, 05:34 AM

missed it last time, what did you end up deciding on for your rear axle... R.I.P., i liked the last setup using cruiser axles and Tcase etc... oh well, i'm sure this one will rock and roll, probably more of the latter

woody · 12-31-04, 05:52 AM

rear axle is a centered mini/cruiser hybred....

convertor is a stock HD version, again thru georg....

the Sunray adapter kicks ass....and no crappy spud shaft to deal with, it replaces the rear output tranny shaft completely. One less oppportunity for slop in the system....

Noon update pending......

bad_religion_au · 12-31-04, 07:25 AM

cool... i'm guessing mini axles, cruiser center? i think that's what you were discussing earlier...

you don't F%$# about, one minute it's hey this is my idea, and before a guy can even change his tyres, your cruiser is in pieces on the floor of the shop...

wish i was that productive

woody · 12-31-04, 08:43 AM

not happy with the mounts for the shackles, but the balance is set and right.....looks like it's gonna get a cv shaft in the rear....

SHREG · 12-31-04, 08:47 AM

Shaweet

66fj40x2 · 12-31-04, 10:17 AM

Woody, you got’a get that to the Roundup. I'm very interested in seeing that suspension setup first-hand. My offer still stands to get that old beat-up offset rear housing out of your way too

. We don’t have anyone building that kind a stuff around here

’s , I'd sure like to give it a shot but this stuff is way out of my league, but I'm trying to catch up.

woody · 12-31-04, 10:44 AM

might take ya up on the rear housing....

two pics from 11:30a this morning....DEFINITELY gonna get a double-front driveshaft to miss the tranny....an expense I was hoping to avoid, but am not gonna fight...

however, she's nice and flat underneath....pan is same level as the frame rails....

next: tranny mount bracketry....

reffug · 12-31-04, 10:52 AM

Looks good Woody, definately can't wait to see the entire finished product.

woody · 12-31-04, 01:49 PM

2:45p...crossmember is fabbed up, just need to come up with a creative idea for the frame-rail side....

pretty tight on the front yoke....which is good....tube ends up in the same plane as the trranny pan...

Gumby · 12-31-04, 02:52 PM

Mine is pretty ugly, but functional. I wanted to be able to remove the whole crossmember easily. I used the AA transfer case frame side mounts, upside down. They are really just a 3x3 angle about an inch wide with a gusset boxing one side in. I can unbolt the crossmember and slide it out the back.

Don't laugh too hard now, I told you it was ugly. The frame is angled enough that the crossmember doesn't sit square. If you were to fab a part, take the into consideration.

Mine sits down futher because that 203 GRB is a big pig with a huge mounting plate.

wngrog · 12-31-04, 03:08 PM

Get it!

woody · 12-31-04, 03:25 PM

crossmember mount option 1....don't like it, gonna ditch it...

buddy just emailed me, he used spring bushings/tubing on the crossmember, and a couple tabs welded to the frame.....I was considering the same idea, just not with the poly...another thot was with shock eyes (you KNOW I love to use those for projects....hehehe)

any thoughts?
