Time for Tons

I like the wheels also, what are they?

[Harrison]

Wheels are stock 16" Ford

Probably looking to get into beadlocks ASAP. Thought about welding aluminum rings on these.

Left to do:
Lengthen front driveshaft
Rear axle shock mounts DONE
Runs like shit O2 sensor heater circuit fuse blown from MIA downstream sensor, FIXED
Setup rear bumpstops 3/8 plate setup on leaf pads, DONE
Ãœber squishy brake pedal new master installed, SWEET.

After those things:
Trim and hack to make tires fit

Sweeeeeet!

Sweeeeeet!

Pretty much my feeling, thanks. Jeep, truck, and trailer are all getting a pre-BIG DOGS shakedown up in Mass this weekend.

[Harrison]

Took this hog for a ride down the road last night. It's a got a couple noises and clunks it didn't before, but all in all not too bad. I am pleased.

Very cool can't wait to see it in a week and a half

specs on the red 2 door tahoe/yukon?

I used to have one, I miss it 

[Harrison]

It's actually a 94 2500 Burb. Big block, barn doors. Roomie's tow rig.

Got this thing out on some rocks today, didn't do too bad for a shakedown. Definitely was not pushing the limit though. The front locker works about 50% of the time. I did not reuse the side washers per the instructions PDF I found online, but I'm guessing that may have been a mistake. Rear driveshaft is also fully compressing so I plan to add an inch of lift and another half inch of bumpstop.

Should be a reasonable amount to get done before the 24th. I was able to get the fenders trimmed up some more Saturday and all seems well there, no significant rubbing other than on the links.

Couple pics from today.







It was good to be out!!!

Noice!!

Short shakedown list.  That's great!

The front locker works about 50% of the time. I did not reuse the side washers per the instructions PDF I found online, but I'm guessing that may have been a mistake.

So glad I thought saving $150 by buying used was a good idea. Anyone have any insight on this? It is a NO-SLIP which is apparently a little different than the Lockright/Aussie design. The PDF I got says to remove the thrust washers, and says nothing about reinstalling them:

Steps 9, 10 and 15, 16. I actually tried to install the drive gears with the thrust washers in and it would not fit. I realize that sometimes you need to clearance the carrier a little to make them fit though. I suppose the first thing I need to do is find out what the dimensions of their 'test block' (step 32) is. Bah

[Wingman]

It's been too long ago for me to remember my No-slip install in a D35.

Call or email tech support and ask your questions.  I'm sure they'd be helpful.

[Harrison]

Might do that, at least to get the dimensions of the test block.

This came out of a GM 60, same part number is listed for Ford/Chevy on the Powertrax site. They do have a different listing for limited slip though, but it seems to me the LS locker would be smaller?
