Geez, I haven't been over here in awhile...
Updates:
The rear axle is put back together with an experimental "lets see if we can blow this up" rear thirdmember that I aquired in a lot of parts last summer. It wasn't good enough to resell, but it'll get me going till I come up with something better.
I've been back to work since November, and have been going at it 70+ hours a week trying to play catchup on bills, and have managed to save a little out of each check to throw into the fordzuki fund.
List of things needed to put it back together:
T-case gears- probably go back to 6.5:1s, though I noticed tonight 8:1 gearsets are back...
Front axles- double toughs again, or I might try out trailgears this time for comparison...
Front Locker- I am toying with the idea of using the dd sami's rear third with lockright in the front of the LJ, and getting another rear third for the sami, and installing a spool.
Tires- I'm looking at tires in the 36-38" range this time, I know it's pushing the limits of the sami axles, but it's only a matter of time before I go yota's with it, so I might as well "use up" the sami's.
Alternator-still...yep.
Fuel pump- a new fuel cell might happen too, but for the purposes of getting it going again, the one in it will work.
Battery- another yellow top, the old one is in the sami after it's 3 year battery stamped nov '01 recently died.
That's it. Short list, right? With any luck I'll have it back together for some snow wheeling.
And, because everybody likes pics.
