pulled the drums off that axle, and they actually came right off! nice surprise to find that someone has allready replaced all the workings.

tore the axle apart. brake stuff came off easy, but before I pulled it apart I felt some excessive rotational play on the passenger side axle. well... turned out to be the splines going south. so it looks like I have a good excuse to upgarde to a locker and some 31 spline shafts.;D but that also means I need to find more funds.

messing around again to see what it would take to squeez these 35's under there.;D

LOVE IT! keep going Migs!!

 

[migs]

yes, I did a little photo retouching, wanted to try to get a good visual of what it would look like.
even "painted" the rocker while I was at it!;D

 

[tasker]

any other hidden talents? legal ones?

Or illegal ones? We won't tell. ;D

I'm thinking about selling the duff's flares and go with a set of warflares. the black accents seem to bring the green of the paint out better.

managed to get a little time in on her to pull the rear springs out. Boy am I getting spoiled on this one, all it took was a little pb blaster and a 1/2" air wrench and I was able to pretty much pull the bolts out by hand. they almost still look like new!
the only drama was from the revenge of the ghost of the dead critter. found some bones in some dirt that was packed in the front passenger side spring hanger. after pulling the bolts out on the drivers side the spring came right out by hand. on the pass side it just would not budge, so when I gave up to go get a pry bar I reached down to pick up the bolt laying near the dirt and bones, and wham! the spring fell right out...right on my hand! at least I didn't have to go get the pry bar.%)

 

[tasker]

you ate the bones? ;D

 

[migs]

No, don't worry though....I saved them for ya!

 

[migs]

Big box of goodies showed up today.;D now if I could just find some time to get it done.

 

[tasker]

next stop on the BONES garage tour?

 

[fatboy]

How tall? Who did you order from? Inquiring minds want to know! ;D
