Ok, Did A Few Things Today....


Switched The Knuckles Around. So Now They Are On The Correct Way. ;)

Finished Putting The Axle Together, Besides The Passangers Side. Missing Thrust Washer, One Spindle Nut. and I Think The C-Clip.


Fished Painting The Sliders, And Mounted Them.


Took The 37" Tires And Put It Next To The 4RNR. For Fun.



On Friday We Will Start Taking Out The IFS, And Putting In The Lift. We Hope To Have It Done By Sunday, Monday At The Latest. We Hope.

Did you paint the steering arm surface on the top of the knuckles (and bottom of the steering arm)? If so, pull that thing apart and clean it all off. The paint compresses and you will end up with a steering stud maintenance issue.
 
Please tell me you didn't paint the mating surface between the steering arms and the knuckle? This is a friction surface and must be bare metal.

As Metioned By Ary Already.... But No I Did Not Paint The Bottom... I Used Masking Tape. Also You Can Paint The Top. Notice I Welded The Studs, Plus There Are Cone Washers, And I Used Some Locktight Just In Case.I Do Plan On Gettin Some Six Shooter Knuckes Later On Down The Road For A Back Up Just Incase If I Ever Do Sheer Of Any Studs.

Thanks For The Question Though.

And I Hope This Answered Your Question And Then Some.

No Problem Mate.

Have A Good Day.

Orderd My 4th Rim Yesterday.

Talked To Bill Cole(the President) From Aussie Locker. He Said The Reason Why I Have Not Got My Locker Yet, But Is Now Shipped Was Because They Are In Such High Demand, That They Can't Keep them In Stock.

So The Locker Will Be Here By Friday At The Latest, Then I Can Put The Ring Gear On And Set Up My Rear Gears.
