Almost build time!!

Re: Amost build time!!

manual, but trying to get a new drive chain for it too, as I think mine is slack. Prob going to order a rebuild kit, and chain from Quadratec.

There should be a little slack in it. Make sure you have a good set of snap ring pliers for the SYE kit.

I can definately swing by saturday afternoon. if you hurry up and get the rebuild kit for the T-Case I'm sure between Josh and I we could get that thing up and running before the weekend is over. T-Case's are pretty easy, and the rear aspect of the lift won't take long. The time consuming part will be actually positioning and welding up the LA brackets. I did my SA lift on my Jeep in about 6 - 7 hours working entirely by myself.

Wow.....umm I guess the only question is what kind of beer do you drink?

Re: Amost build time!!

Blue moon, but if you're poor like me then PBR is just dandy

Re: Amost build time!!

Rear output shaft bearings will come with your new SYE kit. Only thing really would be replacing on rebuild is chain and front output shaft bearings. So you could go ahead and do the kit. Always rebuild it later.

Re: Amost build time!!

Bad News! the drive chain and TC rebuild kit won't be here till Mon. eve. So much for 3-day air!

Re: Amost build time!!

i say we do the sye and worry about that crud later. get the thing driving. i've seen some sloppy arse chains come out of HMMWV t-cases and they were still working flawlessly

 

[arctycfox]

Re: Amost build time!!

yeah but I think that's where my "thunk" is coming from.

 

[arctycfox]

Re: Amost build time!!

ok, kit did not come with degree shims........it's always something isn't it? What degree should i get? 4WP has 6 degree in stock, in steel. is that too much?

 

[Stang5lgt]

Re: Amost build time!!

6 degree should work. But I don't think you need a shim with SYE kit.

 

[DutchVDub]

Re: Amost build time!!

6deg shim is what i am running on my 4.5" kit, its also what came with my other 4.5" kit that i had on my 99 xj. considering you have a sye that should be plenty

Re: Amost build time!!

hey man, I'm sorry but I'm going to have to bail. My brakes are acting up on my Jeep and I need to get it all sorted before I leave for wheeling sunday morning. Got some other things that came up w/ the baby shower too, so my day tomorrow is all fracked up now.
