Whoops, just realized might not be able to raise the tank, since I opted out of doing a body lift. Maybe just build a really heavy skid for it?

Not a whole lot more: transmission skid, trans temp gauge, still debating the rhino liner on the lower edges. I think that is about it. Well ok, maybe a gas tank lift and custom skid plate? :coffeedrink:

updates cont. Ok, after all these additions with relays, I needed to add a supplemental Blue Sea fuse box, but mounting issues in the engine bay were limited so I ended up making a mounting bracket and bolting it to the battery tray. Added some misc stuff, Cabela's Trail Gear seat covers...

updates cont. Trans light came on a couple times when I was off road and I noticed my condenser fan wasn’t working. Found a replacement new motor went about swapping it and wiring in an on off switch in the cab (from a thread I saw on here). Then I started to get a little carried away adding an...

Updates Ok, thought I better get this thread back to "build thread" and updates to what has been done. BTW-got CV axle back in and swapped a gen 2 transfer case lever in since mine was toast. back to the build- So after repairing little nit-picky things, I began adding things to make it mine...

whoops make that "at least 3 others in this forum" :sombrero:

Re: the JVC deck there are at least two of us with the same decks. Too funny. Nice build

42" LED mounted to Yakima raingutter cross bar Here is mine. Used an old cross bar I had laying around and got some wrap around mounts rather then drilling through the bar.

Awesome used some black rtv.

Quick Update on transfer case lever, w/Questions Ok, got my old lever out (red ball was long gone-nothing left). When I got the new (salvaged lever), I noticed the lowest most boot with the vent hole was split so that when the lever was in the 2wd position boot was wide open-see pic. 1st...

Well you'd be able to see in the non-driveline side , and better able to remove the gears (than w/diff cover on :coffeedrink:) or fish out a busted snap ring.

Regarding the magnet should it be affixed to the drain plug? Is the diff oil likely to get hot enough to reduce the magnet's power over time? I do have some dime size rare earth magnets in my tool box. My buddy suggested just pulling off the diff cover and be done with it; after replacing the...

CV update Good news/Bad news With the aid of a home made slide-hammer (thanks Youtube) got the stuck part of the axle out. Here is where the cv axle wasn't lovin' it on the trail. Hey, where did my balls go? :sombrero: Now the bad news, when it came out, only about a third of the snap ring...

Oh heck, I'll run down to the local auto parts store and pick one up. :coffee:

@BOPOH, to drill two 180 degrees from each other you would have to drill through the thickest part (about a 1/2", of hardened material-already scrapped numerous bits). May do that if I can't get it any other way.

I thought it was an Escher drawing. :sombrero:

So I drilled three holes in the sides through the thinner sections. Tried using a gear puller to get a bite on it but no luck. Looking for a 3 prong gear puller w/a slide hammer on it, but will need to remove the shock to get clearance. I still don't understand why this one is so hard to get...

I thought about that, but clearance is pretty tight. Might give that a shot before the rain. thanks

More CV issues, this time removal on my rig Posted in my (non-named build thread) Pics are in the link below: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/130673-new-to-mitsubishi-group/page5 I seem to have forgotten about this thread, before I rebuild the thread on what I have done since I...

back from the dead I seem to have forgotten about this thread, before I rebuild the thread on what I have done since I need to ask a question. On a trip east of Red Bluff I gernaded the driver side cv axle and the transfer case bushing gave up the ghost leaving me in 4Lo (really 2 low I guess...
