Just going to stick with my stock axle, just bought new R&P, seals, and straight pinion sleeve. I don’t want to go to 35’s and I don’t enjoy bashing my rig on the rocks so hopefully will get another 188k miles out of this next set.

Well after starting this thread back in 2018 I did nothing, I did not service for Pre-Load nor did I upgrade. This past Saturday I did Gold Mtn. In Big Bear and damn did that trail change since I last did it 8 or so years ago! Well it’s official I have joined the busted ring & pinion club!

That was the previous owner just haven’t figured out what exactly to do with that line.

Yes, I do apparently have a vacuum leak on the intake manifold on the rear runners according to the carburetor mechanic I had look at it. He said hopefully it’s just a gasket but to put a straight edge on it to check. He suggested to send the carb off to be re-built because he cannot get a...

Left them up at my buddy’s garage in Valley Center. Told him I would pick them up next time.

Just installed a new lift yesterday removing the OG leafs and crap Rancho shocks.

Now to find a smaller belt until I can source a decent used or re-built alternator. Hmm, Cruiser Corps has remanufactured alternators for: 1967-1/1975 $139.90 1/1975-9/1977 $133.98 Classic Cruisers has an OEM Remanufactured one 1972-1975 $274.99 BTB Products has an OEM restored one...

Thank you for this.
