HAMOM - Help A Member Of the Month

In fact... help TWO members: @sigg and @MillironFZJ80
We can have them nose-to-nose in my shop and knock out some work!

I'm out of town this Saturday (headiing to Chocco to watch some horse power racing!) but Sunday works for me. If it works for ya'll... then let's do it. Or what days work for you guys?

Everyone is welcome to come watch/heckle/help/hand wrenches. Bring a chair, a cooler of whatever... make an afternoon of it.

 

[Land Speeder]

Milliron just informed me, again, he is out of town this weekend. Sucks, cause I'm out of town next weekend. So... Looking at possibly an evening.

 

[sigg]

Just let me know. I appreciate any help I can get, and am happy to work around whatever schedules I'm able to.

 

[Land Speeder]

Whelp, looks like we're gone do Milliron's front axle tomorrow afternoon/evening, LOL. I realize your parts won't be in yet... But you're welcome to come out.
Also, lemme know if you want help installing them rotors.

 

[sigg]

That's a bummer—tomorrow is probably the one night during the week that's no bueno for me. Otherwise, I'd be down whether or not I had brakes in hand to do. @Land Speeder I'll check back with you later about brakes and having a knowledgeable eye look over my rig, if you're open.

 

[Intern22]

Tomorrow will be tough for me. But yell if you get in a bind and need a hand holding a light or something.

 

[Land Speeder]

I think Milliron and me both wanna see what's in this axle... so we're going in dirty. We'll put back together dirty. But we'll know what's in it. If it is as I suspect... we'll throw one of my spare difs in, it's dirty, but ready to go in. We've worked out the ownership details of said dif if that is what's needed.

 

[Land Speeder]

Milliron is enroute. Anyone welcome to come heckle... just come on out...

 

[sigg]

I wish I could. I'm flying solo with the kids tonight. Godspeed gentlemen!

 

[jynx]

Ok, so any updates? Gears, no gears, broken axle shaft, ???

 

[Intern22]

Good luck! I'm half way through Frozen again.... At least the cold wouldn't bother you anyway.. Oh wait. Nm.

Updates please.

 

[jynx]

Saw them FB pics... I cannot wait to hear the details, but how does any reputable shop put a diff back together without a ring gear... Like really, how does that happen?

 

[Intern22]

I was just reading about it. Has to be more to the story.. I hope.

[Land Speeder]

She runs!
The pinion was TOAST!
Tired...

 

[MillironFZJ80]

Eric... Damn bro. What a project.. The 80 is proper now.. She ran great on the way home. Even drove I-65 and all boxes are checked.. Look forward to getting her lift and tire treatment. We'll go riding soon.... Nothing super technical but let's see what she can do... Tired as well. Can't thank you enough bro.

 

[Land Speeder]

Dude, no problem! It was a fun project! And BERTHA LIVES in your truck! LOL! It was Bertha's dif you got!
I do believe that maybe all DLC folk gone have parts of Bertha in their rig by the end of the year! LOL!

Now... let's get back to your original post.... NOW you're where you thought you were! LOL!

 

[bhmmapping]

Unbelievable. Fast work too.

 

[Land Speeder]

OK peoples... @sigg should be coming over to the ShuntCave here in a lil bit... ALL are welcome to come out, point, laugh, hand wrenches, sodas(beer), whatever.

 

[MillironFZJ80]

Wish it could make it to watch. I'll becoming back from Mineral Bluff, GA in a couple hours..
