The Carnage Repairs Begin!

[ManfromSnowyRiver]

Kind of a matter of if we can get a good deal on a unit locally, and not deal with shipping or picking up.....Trying to get this project into high gear after Thanksgiving.

Get a JK Rubicon axle and upgrade to Reid Racing knuckles and Chevy outers. Making it 6 lug and full float then

Bet them are pricey used

About the price of an ARB air locker installed, except it comes with a locker. The Reid knuckles are pricey

Hey guys!
My wife is in and out of the hospital, but I finally managed to get Montenegro into a real shop, back to Escalon Transmission. I had my new Mitsu buddy fix my gas guage first. He had to pull out the console and get the mileage reentered. I freaked out when I came out of the the Rubicon, filled my gas tank and saw that guage read empty!(Remember that Lord trunks and Toasty)?? Luckily, it was just my gas guage that went out.

But here is my list:
Transfer case leaking
Counter weight torn
Steering wheel column
Driver side CV axle front and rear
Back up camera
Winch
Reinforce skidplates
Rear bumper
Rear AC/Heater assembly
Muffler

I'll keep you guys updated

They finally found a Waggy axle in Texas for the right price, and are about to get rolling finally.

 

[Toasty]

Yay I can get my new diff!?

 

[ManfromSnowyRiver]

Should be soon now, once they have it on the rack.

This is cool lloyd. You need to update the Utah trip thread, see if any interest is gonna spark, I'm gonna try like hell to make this.

 

[ManfromSnowyRiver]

Yeh, let me see how things are going next week. Although we could probably bring the 4runner if needed. Just be some bumper damage.

 

[ManfromSnowyRiver]

Should be on the ground shortly. Its been ridiculous, obviously the shop had its own issues. Add to that finding an axle, knuckle shortage and defective locker. Anyhow Diff is in and everything has been mocked up, and was going together today. Hopefully on the road tomorrow for testing and all the other work it needs. Set up does look solid and reliable, I will give them that. Also inner axle seals for those dinosaur diffs are no longer available so they re-machined the housing to except a Rubicon axle seal.(vacuum disconnect diff) Will grab some photos next trip over.
