While I can't stop by I did drop off the tools with Johnny Anyways you should have no excuses as it doesn't take that long to swap axles over Btw, did you remember to spray all your nuts?

I would ask you not to ask about my nuts....

I have had the front end apart 3 times ine the last year. I am hoping for the best, but being very cautious.

Thanks for dropping that off with John.

Kejtar likes to spray his nuts as often as posible, like every time he has them out

Thanks to Kyung and Johnny, my D30 is in!!!!

Also a thank you to Remi and Mike P. for the use of their ball joint tools.

Kyung is very knowledgable about the install of and set-up of the front end. Johnny was a great assest as always, of course, he ate all of the pizza!!!

Thanks for Grant stopping by as well, and lending a hand.

Now just a few tweeks and adjustments before Big Bear this coming weekend!


Thanks again guys!

Know just a few tweeks and adjustments before Big Bear this coming weekend!

To the spell checker?

Cool! Good to hear that all's in and good. Don't forget to check your balljoint nuts after a few days (by hand should be fine for a basic check). I had the lower ones loosen up on me cause things slightly settled in and well, they ended up with some slack.

What spell checker? :shhh:

The ball joint nuts loosened with the cotter pins?

I will be double checking everything before I head up Friday morning.

The cotter pins will lock the nuts only to a certain points. Mine loosened just a hair so that they were clicking on the cotter pin (you get 1 degree or so play then in rotation).

Isn't he a great flash light holder? He only drops the the flashlight twice in the course of an evening

Hey, I actually got dirty this time. Even got grease on the dome. And you know my motto..."Will work for food".

Well it sounds like a good time by all at the Prater estate... I am glad that the axle is all done...

We knew you were with us in spirit.

For those of you who don'w, I have been plannig on gearing and locking for over a year and a half. Scott was patient with me and did an excellent job installing the gears and the rear D44 for me a couple of weeks ago.

A special thanks to Scott for ALL of his work and time.

I think he and Johnny have worked on my Jeep more than me :dunno:
