havin some fun here in the north too....nothing quite like a seized wheel bearing on an 80 series at freeway speeds...more entertaining when you watch your burning tire/wheel careen off into the ditch....

40 only for this run...and it's not together yet either, but at least it's JUST a rear driveshaft and I DO have the parts here...

Reckon ya ought to turn the music down and lay the pipe down every once and while and listen to your truck for signs of distress?:eek::eek::eek:

I was close to the same thing(looosing a tire) but I was getting a loud noise coming from my front diff.
I tried to stop and couldn't.

good thing was my friend James was in a truck w/ no breakes either, so he was clearinng the way for me.

I took off the front tires and realized that I had no grease on the hub. the little grease I had was contaminated with sand. The bearings were hot and melting causing them to get stuck and creating the loud noise.

once we change the bearings everything went back to normal.

As far as my 40, still a lot things pending which. It will not make it to the ROUNDUP. Drive shafts pending. Major problem w/ the fron since my 205 front output has the flange 30 spline and I am running my 40 diff.

Yea we gotta snap a pic of the jack stands that big SOB is sitting on;p;p;p;p:p
 
UPS claims the axles arrived in Mesquite at 0600 this morning and will be delivered to Bonham Monday ...

Damn thangs weren't even shipped until this past Tuesday. :mad:

Fella I ordered 'em from deserves a slow, painful death. :eek:

:flamingo:
 
u-joints for the rear CV arrived this morning, or should have...buggers aren't easy to track down, unobtanium from Toyota even...

stuff the joints in, bolt the shaft in, attach the skid plate, and install the front limit chain (or spend some time sewing today for a true limit strap....uugh...)

load on Sunday, hit the road Monday early...will be in TX on Tuesday, pop thru a few places enroute and likely crash with Rascal on Tues nite...breakfast at his local dive on Wed morning, then down to Katemcy :)
 
got a long weekend of wrenching ahead of me...won't get the passenger slider made up, but rockers aren't important. planning on heading out about 1am weds am for a straight shot. see y'all in a few days:clap:
 
Isn't he riding motorcycles now? Thought he was a KLR man. Bring him down!!!
