Perhaps unrelated... But back when I was a teen I bought a motor from a junkyard(pontiac 350 big block) which had similar symptoms... Would seem to idle okay in park, but died every time I put it in gear and added a load to the engine... Only way to drive it anywhere was to power-brake it...

Just my opinion... But I think your picture answers your question... Lol Was it running dry? Or perhaps it wasn't fully milled to full spec and developed slop? Or perhaps it is just not the right 'hardness' for the metal? I'm new to chromolies and their wear patterns... But I know I'd be...

I know right! Was one of the bonuses of buying that rig... I think I would have to modify my exo cage to run it myself... Haven't fully decided if I wanna keep it for myself, or if it will help motivate a sale...

Might be looking to sell the second samurai I picked up to swap out the axles into mine... I don't think I will need to try and keep/maintain 2 wheeler rigs at this time... So, just testing the waters to see if anyone is interested to buy a sammi. Some of the pros: Locked front and rear...

Can you take a few pics of how the fiberglass top over the driver attaches? My second sammi I just bought has the same top/style... But isn't mounted... Not sure if I'm going to turn mine into a Daily Driver(I just bought it for the toyota axles, then figured I'd resell it with my locked sammi...

Lol. http://youtu.be/Z0wZGwz66EA

Re-grooving old Swampers the redneck way! http://youtu.be/4p6UjrJl6A0 http://youtu.be/4p6UjrJl6A0 Thoughts?!? Lol

Nevermind... Pulled the steering bars and it dropped in with just a light push... Lol

Fighting trying to get the high steer arms into the upper trunion bearings on the knuckle install... I've got the lowers... But I just can't seem to get the steering arms to cooperate and drive in straight/properly... What's the trail fix? Do you guys remove the steering rods off the arms to...

Decided to go ahead and do the inner axle seals, wiper seals, and Spartan locker... Tick tock, tick tock... ;-P Got it all torn down now, axle and wiper seals installed/ready to wrap up... Just got the third member out, about to pull the bearings and ring to get at the carrier pin...

It's a temporary solution until I find out if I need to cut up the body for clearance issues, or respring the leafs all the way around... Basically, just to make sure I didn't slash the sh!t outta my tires this weekend... Mines a budget wheeler, and I learn as I go... And make do with what I...

Yea, I'm going to hold off for THIS weekend... I've been wrenching non stop since Saturday night when I bought the donor sammi... And I'm almost ready to run trails... Unless of course I rip apart axles to replace seals, knuckle wipers, and add the locker up front... But, that's a fair amount...

Yea... Crawlin with my 1.3L engine will be perfect... Wheel speed for hill climbs... Not so much! Lol. I figured it would be the best for some of our type of wheeling... As it is, I have a hard time keeping up driving the logging roads uphill etc in 2wd... Not enough motor... I just didn't want...

Wonder if I should call randys ring and pinion... Any other options as good or better? I could probly slap the Spartan in for now while I'm doing the front inner axle seals and hold off on the gears for this weekend... Hope 5.29's aren't too steep of a gear considering I'm already 6.5:1 in my...

Picked up some gears and a spartan... Don't have enough knowledge/or confidence in my abilities to set these up 'right'... Anyone available to help out? I got the Yukon 5.29's and master install kits... Front and rear... Spartan locker for the front, and new front inner axle seals and wiper...

How was it with the windshield dropped down? I wasn't too sure if that was a viable 'wheeling' option... I just ask cause I saw a set of hinges for my samurai recently and it made me wonder when that would come in handy... ;-P

This is what the Craigslist guy was selling: Thus was the example he showed me of a Celica box... It looks more like mine and mounts in the frame instead of outside... I think this is what I've got: Perhaps I can rebuild the leaky seals and replace the drop pitman arm and be in business...

After a little helpful insight from the guy I was looking to buy a toyota 4x4 power steering unit from, it looks like I've got a PS unit out of some car... Mine mounts inside the frame, not outside the frame like yotas... Perhaps I'll look into just a drop pitman arm and then rebuild this one...

I started to try and peel back the wires so I could solder and shrink wrap them... The original splice was about 1.5 ft away from the front connection to the winch... I ended up getting to about 6-8 inches away and it was still looking haggard on one wire... Two outta the three looked great, so...

Well, winch acted funny when I tried to use it... But, I'll spare you guys my lengthly discussion rant and say this: when I got it home and started to diagnose the issue, I found a intermittent problem which occurred when I pinched the warn wand where bubba had spliced it before me... Long story...
