Help?

[Captain Ron]

I'm trying to get the tube monster on the road Friday for Moab.

Anyone wanna change a water pump, put CTM's in some alloy's and install, and put 70mm restictors in my goddamn never ending hassle Fox's? :D

Anytime from now till Thursday. I'll make it worth your while.

I hope when Phil gets back he'll actually wheel...

[GSequoia]

No time Ron, no time.

I'll help you finish it up in Moab since I"m sure the'll still be a few odds and ends to be done at Slickrock ;)

Well, Ron, I hope you have your priorities straight, and at least have your beer ready!

[Captain Ron]

I'm racking it out of secondary on Friday....

Looks like the Red and the Hefe will be going out there. The Stout didn't do so well.

:D

--ron

[lesslimited]

My chinook IPA is kegged, just need to empty (drink) another one for the porter.

[GSequoia]

Twenty more gallons Ron?

The Red is fantastic. If it's not gone well before I leave, I'm going on record about how NAXJA is just a bunch of lightweights posers. I'm not bringing beer back from Utah this time. :D

The rig is getting very cllose. A big thanks to RobertF for doing the water pump and changing out the front shafts.

What if NAXJA prefers my IPA and/or porter? :D

Then you'll be stuck drinking my brew. :D

[Captain Ron]

I wanted to thank RobertF for hanging out a few nights and taking care of the wrenching that I needed to get done. I can't tell you how much time you saved me!

--ron

PS: The shocks are working better, the power steering pump went silent, I've broken all the shafts, and the front of the engine still squeels. :D

[Goatman]

--ron

.........I've broken all the shafts............. :D



Nice!! :thumbup:



You'll have to tell us where.

[ruggedjeep]

time for a front 60 ?? :D

[Captain Ron]

Thanks, I've just cut you out of my will. :D

...

Both broke at the ears. Both times it took out the stub bearings and the spindles were too chewed to reuse.

I thought the whole idea behind hubs was to help prevent this kind of thing. What's funny is that everyone here uses various other than Warn hubs on the premise that the Warn Premiums suck.

Apparently, I have the only indestructable set in Moab. :D

Unit bearings:D

What brand are the stubs you keep breaking?

Paul

[cracker]

300M?

[juryrigjalopy]

Santa says that you have been having a hard time keeping up with his sleigh.

[Captain Ron]

Yukons. I got a set of Superiors overnighted, if I break the last of the Yukons, I'll try those. I'm going to get a set of the 300M's when I get back.

Santa says that you have been having a hard time keeping up with his sleigh.

Santa's sleigh got weight reduction surgery the other night. What he took out weighs more than my entire rig. :D

--ron

[XJ_ranger]

niiiiiiiice....

im glad i never had to take apart a d44 hub on the trail for you this summer...

fa$%ing snap rings... :D


Is there a possability your knuckle is bent and binding the stubs? :D

[David Taylor]

I can't wait for unit bearings again.:party:

It's not to late Ron. I can have Jack make up another set of stubs.

[Paul S]

I was thinking the same thing, but I feel better knowing that Ron was running Yukons.

Ron, I think if you simply switch to Superiors (or Warn or Alloy) you'll eliminate the problem.

That sounds like a call out. Will your junk even be ready ?

[cracker]

sh!t :laugh:

Hopefully less the 60/9". We'll see.

Just to drag this way of topic. Did you start cutting ? Have you started putting frontend parts on the scale yet ?

[cracker]

Yukons.

Holy crap dude. You probably would have had better success with stock Spicer shafts. :dunno:

What happened to the one we shortened?

[cracker]

Just to drag this way of topic. Did you start cutting ? Have you started putting frontend parts on the scale yet ?

No. Not yet.

I guess this is the correct 'HELP' thread though. Half of my sh!t showed up in Vegas on Monday AFTER I had already come back to LA. So I am begging anyone who is coming back from Moab to pick it up for me.

Hopefully next week I will have the grand majority of the parts and I will start playing with the UPS scale here at work.

[Mr.OverKill]

you people are so fickle, when i first started talking to most of you about a D60 for my junk and i mentioned the dodge unit bearings all i got was grief about how they were week and people had nothing but trouble with them and now they are the best of the best, WTF??? please make up my mind for me!!:D

[juryrigjalopy]

At least you broke yours on the trail. I broke my stub axle and destroyed the spindle and bearings humping santas tire in the driveway. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y262/juryrigjalopy/Jeep/th_DSCN1474.jpg (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y262/juryrigjalopy/Jeep/DSCN1474.jpg)

Son of a......


My wife was in vegas all week she's coming back tonight. If I would have been keeping track of this thread I would have seen that post.



Well if all else fails I am only 2 an a half hours outside of vegas and i wouldn't mind the drive, hell I'd even trade you all your parts for that piece of a 44 you have hangin around under your junk now :D

Serious though you need a courier you got my cell.

If you need me to pick it up here in Vegas and hand it off to somebody else who's driving through, just let me know.

Andy, are you back in Vegas? I thought you were in Moab. If you are back in Vegas, That would be great if you could pick up that stuff and hand it off to some poor unsuspecting SoCal member coming through from Moab.

Thanks Ben, I will keep that in mind.

You have a PM. Thanks!

I got a set of Superiors here. How the hell did I end up with Yukons to begin with? :D

We ran Pritchett yesterday. The buggy guys have cleared ALL of the rocks from the bypass waterfall at Rockpile, making it a winch obstacle. Wyane is the only other guy to even try driving it. 35" Creepies, and his rig is pretty light. He grenaded his rear drive shaft slip yoke at the yoke.

I crawled it. For effect, I stopped half way up, and hung out for a few pictures. :D

Light is right.

--ron

[cracker]

Light is right.

Amen brother!

I am working on it. I should have the XJ gutted for the most part this weekend and I will try to get the AC out as well. The rear hatch and bumper will come off this weekend as well :D

Thanks to Andy Steiner, he is coordinating my parts in Vegas and will be handing them off to Rollins later this weekend. I will pick them up on Monday.

Remi, call me about getting that receipt for your Oakleys arranged on Monday night. Paul, we'll start the 'special' thread on Tues ;)
