The Resurection Project

I thought about the diy beadlocks, but by the time I purchase the rims, kit and pay some one to weld them up so they don't leak, I'll probly be back at the price range of the TR beadlocks.

As for the steering, I think i'm going to stick with hydro assist just because your dead in the water if something goes wrong with the full hydro.

If the orbital valves are similar to tractor orbital valves they actually push a little fluid. Its like twenty turns from lock to lock but it does turn

but your wheeling day is still shot though, were as the assist you can keep on getting it.

true, I thought you ment engine shuting off then getting back to camp. like if you throw a belt and have to be drug back to camp

Joe the hubs I have are the Warn Premium manual locking hubs and they are indeed 35 spline. I'm returning them to Randy for a warranty exchange. I'll let you know when I get them back.

cool, thank you sir just let me know what i owe you for them. Also keep me posted on that moving date so I can make sure that me and a loader will be able to make it on down to give you a hand.

Okay Finaly got around to starting the rear 60 install. All I have to say that their is nothing lite about those things. SO I decided to gut the thing to make it a little easier to move around when I go to throw it under the jeep.












now the thing is about 200# lighter i'm ready to clean it up and get it ready for the truss that should be here any day.

Hey dude - I pee'd there!
I wasn't about to go "into the wind" somewhere out in the yard

so did I, though were going to have to find a new spot soon. I'm going to pave the whole area in old bricks in the next few days to give it a floor. Also im suppposed to pick up a wood stove tomorrow, so with the back plywooded in and the front having a tarp it should stay nice and toasty in their for working on the jeep.

HOLY CRAP WILL THIS THING EVER BE DONE

Joe, I have 2 gift certificates from Streetrod Manufacturing TSMMFG.COM that I received from someone at a drawing last year if you are interested. Brake parts!

Stupid question of the day....what do you call that whole assembly shown in this pic? I am getting together my list of crap to sell and I have that whole thing from the front D60 when I got the ARB put in & the gears changed but I don't know what to call it when I post it.

The main section is called a carrier.
The one in the picture has the ring gear attached.

Joe you can just call them ring and pinion gear sets with carriers.

That's what I thought but someone told me that was wrong. I should have asked the people who know in the first place. Sorry to hijack your thread Joe.

who ever told you, tell them to go fuck them selves.

4sure they are not very smart. They need a

Good luck selling those Kat. they are the stock gears and carrier from 1979 and the ratio is like 3.54

Yeah...I'm sure it will end up being an eBay thing but I'll post it up anyway. You never know what people are looking for or why.

put it on craigslist, it is free. and i have sold a few things on there

x2 on craigslist. also don't forget to mention if the carrier is for 4.10 or lower gears or 4.11 or higher because their is a size difference between the two carriers.

Also Bill I may take you up on that offer and buy those from you. Turns out Ballistic forgot to mention that they were running almost two weeks behind in shipping stuff so my parts won't be here till the end of this week begining of next. i'll take a look at what I got and talk to you when were moving since that would only be a few days away by then.

Also i think I'm going to do another post of this with just pics so I can shorten this up to a few pages for those who what to see the abriviated version (like rob )

Just for you rob I have this down sized to one page now with the cliff note version

To link or not to link is the question. To save a few dollars and get the rig on the trail a little faster I was looking at possible doing a 3 link up front on the 60 instead of trussing it which is around $450. Any suggestions on this. I was thinking that I could mount the UCA link to the body on the bracket next to were the RE LCA mounts . This way if I ever wanted to truss up the axel It wouldn't be a prob to go back. looks like i'm going to try to build my own hydro assist to save a few dollars. i'm guessing that Tractor supply would carry the ram i needed and lozndale and holtzman can build the lines.

Good call, I did the leaf setup in front, cheap, simple. later I may link the front but to get it running and on teh trail i decided to go the easy route at first. You could build your own truss, not that hard.

that sounds very interesting, you will have to let me know what you find out.

I am not sure what you are saying. are you saying that you might put leaves up front. Are you saying that you are going to reuse the RE radius arms but only have a upper link on the passenger side so you don't have to have to build a truss on the driver, that will work. you could do a 3link and have the upper on the passenger side. or are you saying that you are not going to do a 4link right now.
