Big Project needs big help....

[Clint]

I've got a big project I need help with this weekend (Sat the 10th). There is no reason it shouldn't be completed in just one day. I need a couple people who want to wrench on some big axles and are willing to work for pizza and (root)beer or soda... Let me know if you can help and I'll send ya the details.. I will be in great debt to any who volunteer! :worship: :worship:

[DrMoab]

I can't be there on the weekend but if you want I can take them to Phoenix for you. :D

[Clint]

[DrMoab]

What??? :dunno:

Jeez at least I offered.

[Clint]

Jeez at least I offered.

To do the easy part! :D

[Clint]

No takers? How bout a box of Thin Mints to the first person who shows up?? :D

[SCW]

Sorry Clint. I have to repaint two bedrooms and the kitchen Saturday. We also have a parade of prospective home buyers coming through that day, and my wife will be gone all afternoon.

I'd really rather look at your axles with a dumb look on my face wondering what to do. Really.

No problem. It's short notice. Just looking for some hands to move around a couple 800 pound 3/4ton axles :D

[imwally]

haven't you two ever heard of Disney? See its this company that makes these movies. They aren't real but kids seem to like them.

If you buy enough Disney it will keep kids entertained for hours.

So this is what has happened to most of us that grew up on Disney show of the week.

[imwally]

So did you get enough help or do you still need some help?

Edit: Sorry did not see message.

[DaveW]

Every fourth week. Spent 2 hours so far tonight working. :geek:



Back to Clint's project.....

[Clint]

I just want to give a big thanks to everyone who was involved today. It was a bit of work, but it was accomplished with no huge problems.
I especially want to thank Neonrog, his son, and IMwally. Three people I had never met until today and I'm very grateful for their help. Also want to thank Bryon and Ryan for showing up, they were a big help. It couldn't have been done without all the help.

SO the big question is...who is ready come and do it all again, but this time in reverse next week? PLEASEE???

[XJumpmaster]

What is this big project?

1998 Dodge 2500 Cummins 12 valve 5 speed. :D :D

[XJumpmaster]

Mine, 1996 Dodge 1500 with the Magnum 360 4" Rancho with 35" MTs all blacked out! Man, I still kick myself for sellin that one!

[neonrog]

Jeff and I were glad to help! Sorry we had to bail before you got the front axle out though. Did I mention I hate brakes? Again, glad we could help.

[JEEPZZ]

New rig or just doing mods???

[DrMoab]

New rig. He has had it a week and already he has it tore apart. :D

[Lonestar]

You didn't think he'd tow that new boat with the XJ, did you?

What was wrong with the axles that were in it? Did you decide that the D70/D60 wasn't strong enough, and that a set of rockwells was in order?

j/k

Nice truck, welcome to the CTD family.

Truck had 4.10 gears. Way to low for the ol 12 valve. I was turning 2150 @ 60.. I'm trading axles with someone to get 3.55's. Also, its a 60 front 80 rear :)

So no volunteers for next week?? :cheers:

Hey no problem. I'm grateful that you guys came, I really appreciate it!

Umm actually a week and 3 days!

[Lonestar]

They must have swithed to a D70 on newer years. I'm fairly certain I have a 70 in my '01.

I may be available next week, I'll let you know.

If its an auto, probably has a 70.

Awesome that would be great!

[Lonestar]

Yep its an auto, and I'm wondering how long it will last before it needs to be rebuilt.

[Clint]

2nd gen auto's received the 70 and the manuals got the 80's.
Just don't mod your truck and it should last awhile..

ummm, maybe? Nothing wrong with that. :thumbup:

Sorry, I work on Saturdays and I've got a wedding party to attend that evening.

How much did that truck run ya? I'd like to get a crew or extra cab diesel truck sometime in the next year or so but I'll need to get an older one (mid to late 90s) to save on cash. I want to get a 5th wheel trailer to go camping in next year. :D

I'm picking up a dana 60 front axle Saturday. Don't know what I'll do with it, but eventually I'll think of something.

[XJumpmaster]

Sorry, Clint. Another Guard weekend for me. I'll be thinking of ya as I step off the tailgate of a C-130 at 1500 ft!

[Mrs Moab]

Sorry Clint, it's not a good weekend for me either. :D

[neonrog]

We are out for the weekend. Sorry, but you'll have to find someone else to do those brakes...

[DaveW]

That sounds like fun!!!




Sorry Clint, I wont be in town.

[MoabXJeeper]

What exactly are you doing to it this weekend Clint? If it is just brakes they are usually pretty easy. I would love to help but have a feeling my other half will have other plans...:(

[imwally]

Sorry I am working on a clean up out at RS/Constrictor other wise I would come out and help put the axles in. Did you get the control arms?

[DrMoab]

Just brakes? haha...haha....oh man...thats funny...hahahaha...haha.

[XJBANKER]

I have to work

[imwally]

Well did you get it all put back together?

[Clint]

Well did you get it all put back together?

It's about 90% done.. The upper control arms I ordered did not show up. Just need to put those in and tighten everything up.

[neonrog]

Did the pictures of the brakes help? And since I had to make a snide remark about the brakes, I had to replace the rear brakes on my F150 yesterday. Damned easiest disk pads I've ever changed!!!

Hope the axle doesnt' fall out when you use them. :D

sorry couldn't help that.

I printed the pictures I took of the brakes...then forgot to take them to the shop with me. But after trying for awhile, they came together no problem.

[neonrog]

Nope, never even got that far into it. The caliper bracket never came off. Funny, thing, the truck stops better...
