have the 35 torn apart already. Had to order an oil baffle from Bronco Graveyard. It will be here tomorrow. In the mean time, I tore apart the 8.8. Not bad for a couple hours of work.

The 8.8 is almost done. Just need to set the preload for the pinion.

Awesome man. Thanks again

the entire front end is all painted with POR. Everything was thenpainted gloss black except the knuckles and swap bar brakets are red. Will be pics tomorrow.

Also just ordered the simple 8.8 swap and diff cover from ruffstuff.

New grinder old one siezed up

I have a Milwaukee angle grinder, been abused for the last 13 years. Only thing that went wrong with it is the cord had a short. Well worth the $$$.
Anyways, the front axle parts looks good.

I got this one for $40 at lowes and it works pretty well.

 

[chrwilkins30]

Received all ruffstuff parts.

Haven't really done much in the last week. cut the rear sway bar mounts off just to make the axle cleaner.

Ordered the lift and Jeep hubs with manual conversion nuts.

I also bought a starter for my Saturn that I will be driving when my truck is being torn apart.

Not enough time in the day. Will have to work on the truck everyday after work, which is at 9:30,to get it on hopefully under 2 weeks.

At least you will have another car to drive while the b2 is apart.

Yep. I picked a 95 Saturn and that 99 corolla up prob a year ago both for $400. Fixed the yota and gave it to my mom to replace her van I "supposedly" blew up. just to get her to shut up about it.

Luckily my sister owned the Saturn and alit of the parts are new that I installed.

Two cars for $400. Not bad.

went wheeling a little bit. Not many pics were taken, to busy searching new spots.

Order is having problems with my address for some reason. Will have to look into it more.

Ended up having to reorder lift. did that a couple days ago. haven't heard nothing about it.

ordered lube locker from 4wheelparts and looked into jeep hubs. Summit has them on back order as of right now until the 5th of may. I might just order regular hubs and save some money. to get the lift installed.
