Club Work Day Saturday 12/08/07

[DSLTOY]

It was great work day, glad you all could make it. I would like to thank Bob (TPI) for sponsoring the meal, his tech support and delivering parts, including some that were needed but not ordered.
Next time we will attack the 5 ton dump truck.

 

[Hugh Heifer]

A few more from me. Everybody looks happy!

 

[Hugh Heifer]

I had to add a few comments to this one. But only because the fruity dog was in the pic. All mandatory things for a good work day in TN!

 

[Hugh Heifer]

A couple more...The last one is the 90w that came out of Steve's front dif. Very nice. I think I shall recycle that into my 40 - NOT!

 

[Hugh Heifer]

And 3 more:



As Roger says, working on 40s is a spectator sport!

 

[Hugh Heifer]

And we don't want to forget the straight dog:


And a break.

Why is it 90% of the pictures I'm in contain a Yuengling? Oh yeah, i remember now...

Thanks everyone for making the trip, glad we got everyones projects done, except mine! We'll do it again soon, but I think Roger's convinced we'll be working on the 5 ton. That's always fun!

We did discover one small problem after most of y'all left...Bob discovered that my long side 4340 Cro-Moly inner axle was bent...really bent So, I'll be calling Bobby Long in the morning to get a new one

For the record Spot is not Gay, he's just not very particular.

Probably will, but it was only $100 for a new one. I'll try pressing out the old one for a trail spare. New one should be here by friday/monday.

Work sucks I literally worked 24 hrs yesterday (6:30a tues to 7a this morning, and had to be back for a noon case) and I found that my partner just filed for FMLA and will be taking next week off attend to his wife. Thats fine, but I can't take a day off if he's off. Roger, I'm sorry, looks like my s*** will be taking up shop space for a while . I say awhile, cause I'm not convinced he won't take the rest of the year off...I'll keep you posted.

Not a propblem. Rebuilt your diff yesterday, so it's ready to go back together when you get time.
My cruiser is on jack stands for a while. I started the tire change, got the old ones off the rims and then realized they sent me the wrong o-rings. Company is in OK and has not been open the last two days.

Yeah it didn't look like we would ever get those to fit right. . . nice wheels though! Careful not to scratch that red spray getting them off! lol jk

I'm in the market for a beadlock wheel to replace my mickey thompson classic locks. Having no functionallity the sim lock just isn't gonna cut it. Let me know if you have any suggestions. . .

The USA 6x6 double bead locks have worked good for me, I have worn out a set of Irocs on them and never had a leak, never had to retorque them. Here is their website http://www.usa6x6.com/
There are a set of single bead locks 0n 15x9 rims for sale in the WT clubhouse https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?p=2840875#post2840875

Well I should break mine at your house!

And that blows. I am sure you will get it straight though

They got the phone lines back up in OK, at least the ones going to USA 6X6.
They change rim design right after I bought mine and don't stock the old style o-rings , told me to reuse the old ones or use the new smaller ones with silicone. But offered to send me the new inserts for a picture of my truck.
