I am pretty excited to try out the Dobinsons springs and shocks. They have definitely taken a different approach to spring design in comparison to OME.

Made a little progress on the front axle tonight. I had to stop because I forgot to order a set of spindle claw nut....

I put some Dynamat sound deadener in the doors, replaced the moisture barrier and put in some new OEM door cards. I am about 6 months behind schedule on my axle project so it was nice to start and finish something in the same night.

60 series front breather hose assembly is a nice way to get an extended breather. OEM Hose, frame clip, breather and clamp all come as one part number all for about $28 each. They reach up just past the frame rail on a 40 which really is as high as most need.

But he’s a machinist. Why not spent 5 hours making one?
The 60 breather is just the hose, so he would have still had to make the barb thing
Although that part is available for a Tacoma (I think) for like $3.

Stopping production work on a 250k Mazak to make a single hose barb. 
Still not the dumbest thing I have done this week.

Are you hiring? Sounds like a work environment I could settle into very easily.Stopping production work on a 250k Mazak to make a single hose barb.

And I did something wrong….
The hub studs are too long 90116-08325. The unthreaded flat sticks out past the Aisin hub.
The flashy acorn nut I bought 90170-08204 are not deep enough for the stub.

Well damn, it like magic!
I bought these, but the front threads are different on my breather than come in the kit for a 78. The rear one also hold a brake union so it needs to be longer.
I was going to get my son to make me ones that fit too.
