gear oil observation and Clear T-case cover

[kntr]

Simpson,
The Gear Gawker covers are manufactured by TOFIC. Available on your side of the border from either Chuck at BC Broncos or from The old fart himself....
I haven't busted mine up yet....

That is just too cool.... a great way to keep an eye on everything.

I wish I could show a picture of mine.%) I finally gave up on it.

where does the cover come from? Am I out of the loop here? Has anyone abused one yet. I would like to put on my tuff truck/rock crawler but not if its too thin. I'm getting a clear float bowl cover built for my preditor carb so I can always see when I have fuel. I broke a tooth off the idler gear last year during a race that clear cover would have been great.

Sounds great. I'll be watching for it. It will give me a good excuse to spend some time underneath instead of on the Top.

BTW, I worded that very carefully just for those of you with dirty minds.;D

Yes, it got here Saturday. I just need to find some time now to swap it. Probably do it when I change my busted triple stick setup that's hanging loose for push/pull cables. When I do the cables I want to see if it will be something worth marketing so it may be awhile. (Need to get the soft tops caught up first)

TOFIC I still haven't put mine on. Its been how long since you started selling them? I bought mine when they first came out. I need to move that up on my list of things to do. %)

JUNE of 2005!!! you were in the first wave to go out!!
Man, dragging your feet or what??
Do I have to make you a deal on the little one for your manual transmission to motivate you to get moving on this??

I have some leaks coming out of t-case and I have been putting the cover off until I got them fixed. Its on my list though;D . Its gonna get put on one day. My luck I will crack it when I put it on.%)

Maybe when I finally get these rear discs finished.

Do not talk like that. That's my luck... Literally. I have a cracked one in the garage somewhere that I tried to put on 6 months or so ago (After it sat here for 6 months). It shouldn't be too long before I get it (The replacement that finally got here Saturday) on now though as I'm getting tired of crawling underneath to shift the transfer cases. Especially when I try to get it in 2 Hi/Hi since one of them is a pain in the neck to get to shift into hi range from underneath.

I finally broke down and ordered a gawker last night. I stress over whether or not there is fluid in there, now i'll be able to keep an eye on it.

hey Old Fart, every thought about doing clear floor panels so we can watch the terrain below?

 

[JWMcCrary]

I put mine on when I swapped my output shaft, figured it was a good time to do it incase I dropped on of the bearings...managed to do it without one falling out. I like it.
