Considering 🤔

I have both used and NOS. I have zero interest in opening up the used ones. If you’re interested, give me a jingle at the shop tomorrow; I’m at a party right now, but plan to work tomorrow

I can see the rust in the upper right corner of the shroud. Is the rest solid? I got burned on an air cleaner lid earlier this year from another mud member, so I’m learning to ask.

Interested Evan? Anything I have that you’d be interested in trading for?

Note: I have often wondered if the newer axleshafts could be machined down to accept the races from the older ones 🤔 Note: it would take a LOT OF MACHINING to do this, as the entire axle beyond the carrier is fatter. I had always assumed that...

Received a very tattered box today Jeff. Contents were safe. I will be sure to post a pic in a couple of months when they are ‘installed’. 😉

@Ztrx “ it’ll never be a high end fancy rebuild worth 40k” Haha…I said that same thing. Another way to think about it is…anyone who has a clue about what it takes to get the truck to this level of drive ability will know what you have in it...

I think I saw one on a 3F engine. Very vague memory, from about 30 years ago, the one and only time I had a 3F in my hands. @3_puppies ? @ginericLC ?
