BTW, It's so nice to have sources for information about the vehicles we drive, and build. I have learned so much from this site, and I am fortunate to know great people throughout the automotive world. The friend who found my 205 transfer case for me is none other than Todd Zuercher. He is an...

After hours of scraping. A far cry from the truck I am shooting.

And then, I turned it over. ?

I have champagne tastes on a beer budget. Without question! Who knows where its been. ?

My 205 transfer case arrived last week. It was covered in decades old baked on grease and dirt that had a consistency of wax. I've spent hours scraping, brushing, and degreasing just to get it this clean. I already put in the same effort on the Dana 24. I guess it helped to preserve them. The...

If the bolts just loosen, typically the bolt holes will get elongated. Two of them were fine, the third one was distorted. Two bolts went first, the last one eventually let go on the trail.

If only there was a monitor that would tell you when critical bolts get loose. I was out prerunning photo locations at the Mint 400 when the bolts sheared on my rear caliper mount. When I hit the brakes again the caliper spun around and ripped the brake line out of the banjo fitting. I had to...

The truck doesn't know whats under it. You can mount anything you want as long as you have a competent fabricator designing and installing the mounts.

That's gnarly. Your right rear tire is gone.

Wouldn't you know it. A friend found a divorced 205 for me. The Dana 24 is supposed to show up on Monday. I will soon be in the used parts biz. The difference between the two cases is that the 205 can be twin sticked, and more parts are available.

Not sure where you are from, but in the southwest 4x4 vans are 10x harder to find than obs trucks.

Build therapy works. Even if it's just planning! (y)

You won't lose that truck when out hiking. :eek:

The optimal would be a divorced 205, but I could not find one locally. I found several for a good price, but 850 bucks to ship. :eek:

Never had a chance. :cautious:

You must then understand that "crude" to some, is wonderful for others. I like simple. When I need to know the outside temperature, I roll down the winda.
