Going on 3+ years now since Georg cut my cases, supplied the 4:1 gears, and I assembled it. I haven't been all that nice to it, and I managed to grenade a AA Ranger overdrive, and a rear Toyota U-joint in the mean time behind a somewhat built GM small block/H42. The machined case and gears are...

Delta has always done right by me, on numerous projects, all of which were flat tappet solid lifter, or OHC Nissan L series. 👍

Yep, he's a pecker head, it fits him...

What?? Your hens are laying, while mine here in the PNW are in "winter freeloader mode". They are eating more feed, demanding more attention, and not giving anything in return, all while I buy eggs from a neighbor... But I have to say, my rooster, Cabeza Pico, (loosely translated to, well, you...

Me and short stuff have 2 weeks off starting the 18th, Cruiser is ready to go, need to try out those new tires in the snow. Darrington maybe? Hit me up if you want to get out.

Sorry I missed this one too, looked like a great time! But work had different plans for me that weekend. Yeah, had LEDs on my... ahem, 4Runner, never again. Love my Koito H4s. No more getting out to clear snow in the wet cold dark.

First step is, stop taking more stuff apart, and continue putting stuff back together :p

Remind me not to park near you next time we see each other. I don't want our wagons to start talking. I do kinda feel bad that I'm over here flogging mine, while you are giving the spa treatment.... Shhhh! Nice work though, looks great !

Whats the new tires?

So after taking my sweet time, (Georg got my case halves and parts back to me in early May) and an extremely busy work schedule this summer, I finally got a trip in with the new 4:1 gears. I have to say, this has to be absolutely the most meaningful upgrade I've done on this project so far. The...

What you've been doing this summer is well worth whatever you may have missed out on.

It was a great trip, for sure. Thanks @NookShneer for posting up the great pics!

Things are coming together. Amazing, given the other projects I have concurrent, and the fact that I have only an hour or so every couple of days to devote to the 'Cruiser.

Yep yep, this little SOB here, was only a few bucks, and less than a day away at my local dealer. Of course my first thought was that I lost something out of the shaft kit, but turns out that it's not included. This is required when using the 34mm case, and the 38mm step shaft. Thanks...

@orangefj45 yeah, I know, this has been on my bench for a while, even though you got it back to me in record time. But I'm hitting it hard tonight, and ran into a snag. Am I missing a spacer between the bearings on the step shaft here??
