I can provide a ride there if necessary.
i cannot however promise a ride home later.

Right hand sore but no longer a baloon. Ankle doesn't hurt at all. Hope you guys were able to drive home- all the way!

 

[retrofive]

Half way done . Both trucks are drive able.

this post is sorely lacking without pictures!
you're leaving out a critical narrative.

Wait till you see the three point tank tread assemblies we put on Ty's front end!

Well good weekend! Thank you everyone. Rotors installed today. Went smooth for the most part. With how much bearing play I expected more damage. Nope couple seals, gaskets and re-pack good to go! Great weekend.

I decided to leave the rear elocked axle with Knolly for the time being. My truck is pretty dialed in at the moment and never have had an issue with Aussie in the back so win win.

Oh and we got to try out his Sammi vice.

I owe Gdizzle some parts.

So I have a good front drive shaft in route. Any decent drive line shop around here worth looking at repairing mine or just leave as is a trail spare? (it still functions, worn splines)

Out my way Jerry's is the only place to use. They have repaired my front Slee one for me.

Sweet! I will get it out that way at some point.

Didn't get too deep into parts on this one, and still annoyed that we had to use the old locking ring since the one from G's kit was busted from the package. All in all though the job went well and it was a great weekend of wrenching!

And yes there it's proof Ty does know how to turn a wrench...and not even an adjustable at that!

Shhhhh, that was supposed to be our little secret.

 

[gnob]

if the splines on the shaft are worn i dont think the $$$ is worth it. you cant repair the splines.
i would imagine the shop would buy new or good used (same as you) with mark up.

 

[mobydick]

When do we do the rears??

 

[jamister1]

Ty, if you put in a part-time kit you wouldn't have to get another driveshaft.

Wrenches? I don't see no stinkin' wrenches!
