[Icemans]

Hell you haven't even started that new job yet and you have already spent all your money. Lol

 

[BPB]

Bs it's all home made

At Evans Creek I managed to snap a u joint doing a clutch drop. I finally took it apart today and it bent one of the ears to the point that I had to use an die grinder to get it to come out. So it looks like its gonna sit a while until I can buy a set of alloys

 

[BPB]

Had to put in a new shaft thought I'd show you guys how much easier a 30 is to deal with then a 44

New shaft cleaned off

Shaft in

Spindle on

Bearings and rotor torqued to spec

What 44 are you running Ben?

 

[Gold Cobra]

You going to carry spare u-joints this time?

 

[BPB]

ya I have one but I take out the shaft every time too. It's a 1978 f150 44 with 3/4 ton GM outers. Although this summer I am going to build a dodge unit bearing 60, I hate taking all of that apart when I could just have a 60 that comes apart similar to a jeep dana 30.

I was going to say I've never seen those rotors on a Ford axle before. Yeah it sucks taking it apart, but as you know unlocking a hub in the trail is easier than fixing it on the spot.

 

[BPB]

Ya but being locked I still need to pull the shaft if I'm going to need 3 wheel drive

 

[crazymoose1990]

Yeah that's true. But you could unlock and drive home without taking it apart, With unit bearings your fixing it on the spot. That's why I haven't gone to drive flanges. But you guys typicly fix your stuff out there on the trail, I like fixing my crap in a warm garage.

Some times you break where you need 4x3 at a minimum

Took it up in the snow and it did great I'm itching to get back up there. I didn't even break a shaft!!! Had to use duct tape to keep the plug wires from leaking electricity. So I grabbed a new set from napa that ill throw on it tomorrow.

 

[BPB]

So after using my rear shocks as bump stops for a year it was time to fix my shock mounting. The skinner boys were generous enough to let me use their forklift to measure for shock mounting height. Then I bent two hoops and put a cross bar between. Dustin was appalled by my haste and "just winging" everything but 4 hours later I have my shocks in with room for up travel. Ill post some better pics in the morning.

looks decent from the pics. quadtrails is about function, not fashion. I hope we get to see it function soon :wave:

Bronze.

I'm planning on doing an Elbe trip after the summer. Alloys for the front are getting ordered in one week!!! In the month I was gone Whitney and I closed on 2 acres in woodland that we are building on. So money is going to be tight till the house is done. So not much function till then.

Congrats on the land and the house.
