I hate to say it but I am out. My work schedule is slammed this week so I needed to be packed by last night. I mean everything needed to be done... It isn't.
Just a little background before you guys verbally abuse me . I recently bought a converted Bj74 LHD and decided to make an attempt to have it ready. Talked to Canadian Bum about it and thought, wouldn't it be cool to put the 4.88's and dual ARB's from the 70 into the 74. As well as put the ARB bumper, 24 V winch and 24 V ARB compressor in, 1" spacers and 35" super swampers. Once I opened up the 74, I realized I had opened up a can of worms. I was hoping for just a general swap and get to maintanence later. Grease broke down, seals gone, bearings gone. Basically all four hubs needed complete rebuild. Front brakes shot. I made it to about the 75% mark last night but don't have the parts or any more time. Ill probably have it ready mid next week but that doesn't put me in the bush with you guys. Even if I had the parts, I just don't have any more time with work and family obligations.
Any ways have a good time, look forward to the pics. Ill definatly make the next one.
