gears, gas, and mud 56k no

Well almost got the rear done...finally about 6ish time frame we quit for the day sunday. After about 6 solid hours in the rain working we were ready to stop. All that is lacking is the brakes put back on, diff cover, and throw the tires on.

Saturday was mostly fighting this all day

we got it in and decided to go play some instead of working some more.

had to string tarps up...my ranger is behind holding that side up. it poured pretty good most of the day.

shot of the inside of the pumpkin (pic was taken for Dave, but ended up not needing it)...by the way thanks Dave for putting up with all the phone calls, even while working on Johnski's rig.

Again thanks to Dave (Dave's Bronco 90) we found out why we couldnt get the stupid C-Clips in...Chris made short work of the problem with a dremel.

last weekend we dropped Chris' tank to replace the filler neck

looks like someone was trying to syphon gas and broke the line of inside the tank

no wonder it would fill right
then we took the top off to go cruise around

Saturday after we got done working on my truck we decided to go out and do some playing. Ended up finding to guys in a 4x2 explorer a bit stuck. (which they pissed us off cause the driver said i dont care, my dad bought me this truck...could 16-17 year old wiggers)

at the time we didnt have my strap..didnt think anything about it, luckily this is right across the street from RJs house, found a crappy rope

now it is time to play

it took a dump

it was all fun and games until we decided to try to cross here...I had to climb out the pass window
http://www.supermotors.org/getfile/319476/fullsize/Picture%20749.jpg
got high centered on the tcase..think if we had the lift on we would have been fine

http://www.supermotors.org/getfile/319478/fullsize/Picture%20752.jpg
very soupy mud, trying to tie it off all we did was sink knee deep in it, almost lost my shoe
http://www.supermotors.org/getfile/319479/fullsize/Picture%20753.jpg
Luckily RJs mom's boyfriend has an 88 eddie bauer and he was right across the street. we were using a bigger rope this time while we waited for RJ to go to my house to get my strap from my bronco..swear that rope broke 4 times
http://www.supermotors.org/getfile/319480/fullsize/Picture%20759.jpg
finally got it out and had to leave the doors open for a few minutes to let it drain out of water and mud
http://www.supermotors.org/getfile/319481/fullsize/Picture%20760.jpg
all the mud except where Chris is standing is real goopy, anywhere you stand you sink but there, its what we high centered on
http://www.supermotors.org/getfile/319482/fullsize/Picture%20762.jpg
after wards we went to my "flex" spot to see what Chris' had to show, not bad for stock suspension on 33s
http://www.supermotors.org/getfile/319483/fullsize/Picture%20764.jpg
and a short vid of the pull that finally got us out

I say we had some fun this weekend

[ThePOWERtoRULE]

Looks killer dude.

You should've left those ungrateful "my daddy bought it" jackasses in that Exploder there to rot. I hate it when kids think everythings funny because DADDY bought it or or MOMMY bought it. :soapbox:


Anyways, looks like alot of fun, I wish it got muddy here. All we got here is... loose dirt. :14:

[79F150]

So you did change the ring and pinion??? After the incident with the first set right???

[Tex]

yes that is set number 2 of 4.56 gears....doh

They told us that after we got them out. They sped away towards where we were in those pics of chris in the mud and almost flipped. when they came back they hit the same hole at 45-50ish and nearly hit a metal pole...i was praying they would have gotten stuck or hit the pole cause if they got stuck it wouldnt have been just being nice, we would have asked for payment, if they hit the pole i would have laughed my ass off then called an ambulance.

[79F150]

What I ment was.... I knew you had 2 new sets and I was makeing sure you did not cross sets such as leaveing the ring gear on the carrier and just swapping the pinion because that won't work...:m2c:

[Tex]

yeah...but out of curosity why wont it

[79F150]

They are machine matched.... You can't cross sets... They will eat each other...

[Tex]

thats a good reason
