Special delivery from Arie arrived today!  AA trans to t-case adapter and D60 hub assemblies.  Hubs even had bearing races already pressed in, too.  Bearings in stock locally, yea!

Mark..

What bearings did you get?

Parts master bearings are ok and all.. But for a wheeler with your power to weight ratio I would have gone national or timken.


All delco OE parts should come preassembled..  Glad to see they are still doing it

PMA38 outer, PM387AS inner

I didn't specify, my fault.  I would have had you order them but I wasn't sure if they'd be loaded hubs.  We can worry about it later.

Got back to work the last couple days.  Engine mounts done.

First attempt was tube connected to the bushing sleeve resulting in a solid mount with no bushing engagement (duh) but didn't ruin anything that I needed to finished.  Cut it off and ground what I could hence the ugliness around the bushing sleeve.


Learned something new today = Weld downhill for better control of the puddle.  Did a couple of ugly droopy beads today resulting in additional passes to clean them up.  :-[  Other side looks far better.



There will be a removable crossbar connecting each once I borrow a bender again.

Wanted it wide enough for exhaust manifolds and spring perches.  I believe it to be only a couple inches wider than a TJ.

Welders say always weld up hill. Otherwise the weld moves faster than the heat and you have reduced penetration.

I always try to weld uphill for the exact same reason. Both penetration and helping keep the puddle clean instead of overrunning imperfections.
