Changed the oil in the tow rig and respooled my ratty winch cable, then got plastred.:beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:
 
Played with crashs alien, packed, looked at some houses, packed some more....and now its monday again.
 
Ran a few trials at Rimrock.....

"Up" Pucker Ridge, Butcher Knife, unnamed to Darland Mt. , different unnamed to Narrow Neck Bypass, Narrow Neck Bypass, took a wrong turn and ended up in timber co. land way up the 1070 rd. That was sat.

Then for sun. Bridge Trial, Spencer Creek Trial, Short and Dirty, Donicker Pass, Grey Creek Trial.


Beautiful weather, and never saw another group on the trials!

Trip report? Pics? You know I'm jealous? You take the little one?

BTW, got my steering box and winch remounted, had to move th box forward 7 inches to compensate for movin the front end forward 6. Lowered the winch mount point so now I can hook it to the front axle. Frickin 8274's are damn heavy after lifting in and out of the front bumper 8-9 times?

with 31's? i dont think so. i bet ya a doller the whole get-up is stronger than my 27 spline 8.25. i would have to slamm the sh!t out of the center chunk on a bunch of rocks to hurt it. its got much bigger axles than my 8.25, disk brakes, and a trac loc. :flipoff:

The aluminum GC dana 44s are very prone to carrier bearing failure. VERY prone. Dang near guarenteed to be bad. My 2 cents. -v- yer' dollar bet.

That track loc is worthless. You want to try one? Come over and drive my ZJ. You will be better just re-gearing the D35 to 3.73.

That rear end is not worth the time and effort. Save your time and money. If you need D35 gears, PM me I have several sets for FREE, what ratio do you want?

You need D35 parts? I have axleshafts $40 a set.

Jeez, I sound like one of those midnight car salesman on TV. :rolleyes:

if you read my response, i have a 8.25 in the jeep already. maybe i should just sell the 44 :flipoff:
 
in the last two weekends cut of rear lower shock mounts and welded new ones on to clear rear axle.
fab a new tc linkage,but after we got the front driveline in it was a little to close to the driveline when it was shifted into low range, will finish later just wanted be able to drive the jeep instead of my truck.
cut a notch in factory skid to clear upper part of the rear track bar. also cut and took a hammer to the tomken gas skid to try clear rear track bar. now it will travel up and down but it is still rubbing in the middle of the rear track bar on the mount for the tomken skid plate.
did seem to get the rear pinion angle set right there doesn't seem to be any vibrations. and pulled the front driveline off yesterday to get a measurement for a new one since i am pretty sure that it is to short in the long run after the springs break in alittle.
 
Last weekend, went out and ran a good barrel time, then went out and killed a barrel.....:rolleyes:




Had to work all this weekend, didn't even get to see any of my junks junk...:mad:
