On the fence a bit... $350 for bearings, $400-550 for gears (if they are needed), and will likely need drums with next rear brake job (Last time it was about $700 for everything). Considering a Sterling 10.5 Axle swap if I can find one the correct width. It would then give me rear disc brakes...

Won't let me edit... IWE $350 plus shipping.

Well... the Ambo's Dana 70 wants some TLC. The Pinion bearings are worn out. I'd bet the carrier bearings aren't any better. Left a message at IWE rear ends only. Waiting for a call back from West Shore Spring. Bumper to bumper - no dice. Lordco doesn't have a kit for a 70... just a 60 or a...

I gather that there are different options for the speedometer drive. One is internal to the transfer case and the other is at the end of the speedometer cable and can be removed from the outside of the transfer case. They would need to be changed as a set (pair).

If they’ve seen my 40 they’d not be surprised. After driving down the Washington - Oregon - California coast I was ready to leave LA. On the way out of LA I decided to see if I could keep up with traffic on the freeway. With 31 x 10.50 Michelin XC ATs the speedometer read 10% low. At +/- 80...

Bump stop bracket is bolted on.

Shipping to Canada from Marlin Crawler is $138 for UPS expedited, but only $30 for UPS standard. I’d email the seller and find out if they can send it USPS (Unites States Postal Service) or UPS Standard (rather than expedited). Marlin’s pinion seals are 1/2 the price to begin with. If the...

That reminds me of raising 3, 18’ long, 3 member, 2x12 beam eight or nine feet in the air to sit on top of posts. Great fun. 🤩

My stuff doesn’t sit in the trees for years… We don’t have any trees.

"It’s sat in the trees for years since these pictures and needs a lot of love but I know just the guy for it!" Thanks Steve, I'm so glad you thought of me... I owe you one. ;)
