January 24, 200719 yr If you ever sell that thing, let me know...(especially if you want to do it on your way back to western WA...I'm right on the way if you take the Post Falls route...)
January 25, 200719 yr Author i'll be 30 minutes from tahyua, i'll actually be living in wauna on the way up to tahuya, i'll be there riding my quad all the time. it's about 45 minutes to evans creek also...
January 25, 200719 yr Author thanks for rubbing it in!... 5 months and 11 days! well first weekend of feb. i'm gonna go play in the 8 ball mine and laguna mountain washes! :-p:headbang: i'll have to get some real pics of lil' roo on the trail since all the mods... it only took me 3 years to get around to getting pictures... lack of digi camera and neglected vehicle... now i got a phone and an slr digi camera, which i'm selling...
January 25, 200719 yr Author tie rod's in. now i need to play with them to make it so it doesn't jerk slightly right when i let go of the gas. maybe the right one needs replacing too... did a little investigation on the rearend... it feels like i might of just broke a stubby off in the diff... and if it's in there good enough, it is not going to be fun to remove... i jacked the rear and can jiggle and pull the axle cup away from the diff slightly. the other side that still turns the drive shaft doesn't pull out... maybe my welds held :-\ hooked up the rear driveline again and it started making the noise in the tcase. so out goes the tcase for sure. and try to find my tool to unbolt a stubby and swap one out with my spare diff. tomorrow! then to the steel yards to find a chunk of 1/4" plate to make a skid for the tcase. 8 ball mine's trails this saturday if i'm lucky! almost forgot, this week i need to make vent lines for the diffs and bring the front into the engine compartment and the rear into the cab.

January 26, 200719 yr Author i've had to do it in a lsd a few times. problem is this ones welded tight and access from the other side is slim. i'll look more into it tomorrow when i have it off. if i can even unbolt it... don't remember how thourough i was with welding it...

OOPS that might suck. well good luck. hope everything works out for ya on fixing it, would really like to see some pics of it in the wild since its been sitting awhile.
January 29, 200719 yr Author well the broken stubby came out easy. and went right back in! swapped out the tcase and didn't seem to fix the problem all the way... so i'm going to do some more putting around and seeing what else i can do... got a wobble in the front right tire and a driveline vibration... then i broke the other stubby... so i'll be collecting more... going to investigate the front right wobble and change some u joints out on the rear driveline.
