Yeah. The intent was to just throw in a LSD and some shafts and go camping.
But you guys know me better than that.

I won't be doing the tube sleeve, but will be doing truss, C's, etc.
I'll be running 265/75R16's...and the rig will be built more than the buggy when it was full bodied on 35's. Outside of chromos on the D30, one would be able to slap upward of 37's on without a worry. Slight...overkill :laugh:

Yeah I wasn't so sure about the sleeves myself, but they aren't much money, aren't much work, and 10/10 would get under crackers skin.

would've been stronger to do an external sleeve....

well considering it does nothing for the axle strength I think it is perfect for this build.
He should have put the same lastara truss on the front as is on the back.....but won't cure his desire to go down on other men to build his rig

I didn't weigh them, but that's what the shipping label said. I'd have guessed about 3 times that.

I'd have to look at one. Its probably doable, but it would be a lot of work to cut and clean, and weld.
You'd probably need to use a 7" grinder and cutoff wheel to get in there.
5" cutoff wheel can get in there. Cal doesn't know unless he received it in his latest DNA tasting sample......He also cannot hold a 7" grinder

Small hands make a large grinder hard to handle.
But they make for good gynecologists too. :yap:

Well, the mopar HD radiator was a fail. Literally.
End cap of the fill neck failed running up a hill on the 215, and blew all of my coolant into the airbox. There was no shoulder to speak of where we were, so ended up driving it almost 3 miles to get to a safe place to stop. It got.. HOT.
Today I'll see if the engine seems OK, if so order up something all aluminium to replace it. I just don't see the big Griffin fitting with the AC and such.
Who's been running the Mishimoto? $400 with a lifetime warranty seems acceptable, particularly if I buy from Amazon (who honors the manufacturers warranty).
If the engine's *not* OK, then I guess I need to go visit Russ and see how he's coming on the replacement.

I ran one of the Mishimoto's in my BMW 328. They warrantied it twice for me. 1 leaked where the tank joined the fins. Don't remember what happened with the first but I think it was a fitment issue. 3rd one was fine. All in a short time period of about 4 months. 3rd was good for 3-4 years until I sold the car.

Well, with some detours to the radiator review thread, you'll discover that between then and now i've been thru 2 mishimoto radiators and an engine.
A bunch of random photos for your entertainment while I wait on stroker parts.
