did you wheel this past weekend and is this the result from it?

 

[ThatGuy]

Lets just say if I don't get some by tomorrow----I won't be wheeling this weekend----including the rock crawl comp Friday and Sandmines Saturday and Windrock Sunday..........

 

[B2Guy]

dang. i just checked knoxville craigslist. nothing... i know where theres some eb's sitting down here i can go check to see if they're still there and see how much he wants for some spider gears...

 

[ThatGuy]

I went to Pull-A-Part and found some in a Dodge Ramcharger that had a Dana 44. I yanked them out and they don't even fit in the carrier.

I always thought a 44 was a 44 as long as the spline count was the same?? Guess I was wrong.

 

[B2Guy]

your running full width 78-79 bronco axles right? whats the spline count your lookin for?


did they not still have the 78 bronco there? i know there was one there last week with the diff cover still on the 44

 

[ThatGuy]

Ha Ha Ha Ha.........................funny story........................not really.


I pulled the carrier out of that Bronco but they wanted like $50 for it. I only need the spider gears ($10). I tried for like 30 mins to get the damn roll pin out of the cross pin. Would not budge. I beat the carrier with my 3 lb sledge trying to break it so I could get the gears out.........not happening. That's when I saw the Ramcharger with the spider gears already out. You can figure out the rest.


If you get a hunkering to go get them for me, I left the carrier in the floorboard of the Bronco. I'll give you the Dodge gears and my reciept to swap them out.




30 spline is what I need

i am goin down there this friday morning with my friend. he's lookin for some cherokee axle shafts and im looking for some taller stiffer coils cause my front tires look like this / \

but will fri be to late for you?

if so i might could see what i can do about goin tomorrow.

 

[ThatGuy]

I don't think I can do a complete tear down and rebuild before the 3 pm rock crawl comp. Maybe I could still make the other rides for the weekend though. I may just go Friday myself, I already took off work so I could go to Windrock.

 

[B2Guy]

well, i can see what i can do about swinging by there tomorrow if you want me to. i really dont have anything else better to do besides look for a job again haha...
