[QUOTE="Pook, post: 1251218, member: 16813"] Yep the 3 kids keeping me and the wife pretty busy...that and work has been busy. I spent the day visiting Sarg yesterday, I haven't seen his buggy in its new form so it was cool to check it out and get some more ideas on how to finish some stuff up on mine. I also got my new tow rig situation worked out :cool: I've been doing the little things, Machined up retainers for my rear semifloat ends that fully capture the bearing and take up the space were the drum brake backing plate would normally sit so you can actually torque the bolts properly. I also machined up spacers so I could mount the D44 rotors on the rear axles. I was going to use caphead 2" x 1/2" fine thread bolts for my rear studs, but after messing around I wasn't happy with how much thread stuck out for the wheel lugs. I ended up buying some Morroso high strength Wheel stud cap screws that were 3" long giving me plenty of thread for the lugnuts. I just need to add a suck down rope pulley and finish making mounts for the lines and the rear diff is done. :awesomework: I also found some ARP wheel studs for my front wheel hubs that have a large enough and long enough knurl to go through the brake rotor (I may even need to drill it out a bit more). They were pricey but I'm much happier know being able to see the threads stick past the lug nut vs not even flush with the Napa studs I was going to run. Not sure why I was worried about it just something thats stuck in my head since highschool drag racing and needing to have open lug nuts and longer studs to pass tech at the local track. Well out to the shop to try and get the front diff back under the truck so I can work on the steering. :beer: [/QUOTE]
