It's much better to do this in stages, that way tomtom has plenty to keep himself employed with, attributed mostly to karl's stellar driving/breakage skills:redneck:

Did you make sure to fill the reduction box first?

You'll like it. I know.

I have the case attached and ordered the roark support.

Here is an issue I noticed on the 4speed. The input has a very short depth/spline engagement, so be sure to seal the t-case to transmission as the tranny output shaft will not be sealed(Advaned Adapter's doesn't tell you this.

4 speed stickout.

Stock 231 stickout, note the seal is about 7/8 out and 4 speed overall stickout is 5/8.

Nothing new for now. This weekend is the buildfest. No dana 60's for Karl though.:booo:

You know Karl can't see these right?
I have to email them to him individually because he is lacking the all important INTERNET.
That is all.

I am working on sending pictures to him:awesomework: but I suck at it so give me time:redneck:

The hard half of the t-case crossmember is in t-case is sitting on its own. I won't do the back half until the support ring comes.

More progress, (backwards but forwards):redneck:

Cleaned old rear axle up and noticed it looks bent(I'll attend to this later)

Then I noticed the diff was leaking past the yoke splines and the nut was loose.

I talked to Karl and he has been having this problem (more of a Karl abuse as far as I am concerned) for a while so here is my solution for now.

Cut/grind a lock groove in pinion.

Be sure not to grind to deep. You don't need a monster groove.

Be sure you have the correct nut for this. The nut needs to have the top shoulder.

Be sure to seal the splines.

Pound nut into groove once it is properly torqued.

Then I cleaned up his skid plate. This thing had horrible scale on it. Better now.

Found Karls gangsta lean!:redneck:

Nice round control arm bushing holes:haha:

Laughed at the problems with his fuel tank. I for one am suprised it didn't just fall out years ago.

Decided to push this out. Karls passenger side of his jeep is pretty mangled.

Turned out ok.

Next to start and remove all unwanted not needed parts:redneck:

Thats all for now.

tomsbrokeagain · Oct 5, 2009

OOOPS! something fell off of Karls Jeep:redneck:

tomsbrokeagain · Oct 6, 2009

I am not happy!

There is nothing that tans my hide more than wrong/bad parts.

So I just recieved the Roark Atlas support ring. The atlas output has an O.D. of 3.900 measured by myself and stated in his sale thread on http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=436473 post #7. The output ring that I just recieved has an I.D. of 4.035.

Anyone else have this experience before:eeek:

Also note the bolts are bottemed out in their holes (this doesn't bother me as much as the I.D.).

I may need a piece of, preferably 1/2 with a 3.900 machined bore in it.:awesomework:

tomsbrokeagain · Oct 8, 2009

Not much done tonight.

Cut a few more pieces off.:redneck:

Then I just had to straighten his tailgate to see if it would open.

It still won't open:booo: Oh well not something that I will worry about.

tomsbrokeagain · Oct 11, 2009

Before!

After!

Here is some pics of the new rear frame section. This new frame should allow coilovers in the future should Karl go that route.

Moneypit1 · Oct 11, 2009

Why the rear Atlas support.
I had one, and took it off, after extensive reading.
Call Advance Adapters. They absolutely don't recommend running one. I took that with a grain of salt, but after reading Pirate, and here, I too took mine off.

starting at post 32, for a few posts

Bunk1 · Oct 11, 2009

I am soo copying some of your rear frame concepts

tomsbrokeagain · Oct 12, 2009

Atlas support

Most Atlas support rings guys install on a third and independant mount and with the frame and transmission flex can and will break the output off of the transmission. Most if not all of the "support rings" seem to be an afterthought.

If, and or when I get the proper support ring, it will get installed on the transmission sub assembly mount with one central mount to support the Atlas. This is hard for me to put in words but your powertrain should be mounted solid but still in a way to allow some flex (it will always flex).

I should have the proper mount(crossing fingers) by this weekend.
