+1. Pinion looks too close to me. There is a really good instructional .PDF on Yukon Gear's site. Here's what my pattern looked like in the 109:

Really..... Ah, it just hasn't reared its ugly head yet. The damage you've done by submersing your truck over the floor boards multiple times, in nasty muddy water is not without consequence no matter what you thank or how good you are with a can of brake cleaner and a hair drier. Let us all...

That guy should get locked up. You wonder why the sport of "wheeling" gets a bad wrap. Messing around in a wetland like that? Unbelievable. :(

If they're to have half a chance at all you can't submerge them up to the shift lever. No, they may not be my favorite vehicle but jeeze, give 'em a chance.

Why you guys do this with your trucks is beyond me. This isn't overlanding. This is ruining good equipment for no good reason. For what? I just don't get it. No mater what you see in magazines, advertisements and forum boards, and no mater what you think your truck is capable of, (even with...

Wa? Now, wait just a minute here. I mention once in a while how I don't really think that the RRC/Disco/DiscoII/Etc. isn't a very reliable expedition platform and ya'll jump on my like stink on poop. Now I see this thread with $6000 lists and piles of spare parts to bring along? Sumpin'...

Gotta love .243. I think it's my favorite caliber. My first rifle was a Remington Model 7 in .243 and I still have it. Where are the pictures, Ridgewalker?

Nice Weatherby's. Beautiful wood. Here's a shot of a Tikka T3 in .270 I bought last year. Hope to take a couple caribou with it next fall. Nikon Monarch 3-12 x 42.

Doh!!! :)

A lot of hate in this thread. What's the deal? Disco D, so you don't like Street Wolf's rifle...Big deal. Why beat the buy up? I'm not really an AR, but so what? We can all be a little more civilized. If you can't say something nice, and all that..... Being in Texas and sporting that BSA...

I'm seeing a pattern. A theme. Yes, Range Rovers are very capable vehicles and when they are running for you, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better off-road vehicle in its stock configuration. But they take a lot of work and patience and you still need to be prepared for breakdowns no...

I can't even imagine the frustration you'll feel after going from a Toyota to a Range Rover Classic. Don't bring any firearms with you. Your truck will surely come back with a few bullet holes in it. That is, if it makes it back at all. I loved my '91 RRC....until I hated it more than...

Too funny. Yeah, in most cases I can fix it on the side of the road. This failure was a little too deep. I supposed I could have pulled a Bogart in The African Queen and forged a new shaft up there. Not sure how that would have worked out..... That lady at the Telos gate is a sweetheart...

I really like Guy Fawkes. Great bunch of guys. I'll be there. Put on the muffs and bring the 109! I'd love to see it!!

This is the end that Dutchman's did. Annealed the shaft, hobbed the splines, cut the threads, roughed out the bearing surface, re-hardened it and finish ground the bearing surface. Everything inboard of this is standard NP435 shaft.

Dutchman's made me a shaft starting with a 2wd NP435 shaft as I was in a bit of a hurry and they could get on it right away. From the time I shipped it out to the time I got it back was under 4-weeks. Not bad for a one-off piece right in the middle of race season.

Man, tough crowd. I did pick someone who knew what he was doing. Unfortunately this shaft, unlike many, many he's done, had a problem. He made right by me and I'll never have a foul word for him. He's always been a stand-up guy and continues to be. He just happened to have a problem with...

That's just what I did with the NP435 shaft. Started with a 2wd shaft, annealed, machined, re-hardened and the last bearing surface ground after heat. Ended up with only 0.002" deflection after heat too. I've got faith in this shaft over a welded shaft for sure.

I agree with you on that point, and the state tries to do what they feel is best when it comes to hunting laws, but they often fall short in their logic. With modern "slug gun" shotguns, the rational of having a "shotgun only" season and no rifles on state land is hard to support. I don't...
