If it's in the way it will get run over!!!
[ *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  * ]
Finally got my jeep back from the shop and it runs like a champ. It is loud as hell and definetly has some balls to it.

After towing it to my buddies shop to take apart the vacuum disconnect on the front axles (going to tack weld the vacuum sleeve in place). We noticed there was a problem in the front diff, my thinking was the spider gears were shot... so I take the diff cover off and little slices and chunks of metal come falling out. The gear oil looked original 250,000 miles. So I grab a flash light and look in the diff and what to me surprise do I see.......... NO TEETH on the Pinion gear at all. Smooth as can be.


So I was planning on taking the jeep out on its first trail ride with me as its new owner but now it gets to sit in my buddies shop waiting for its new life to begin.

79' Ford Bronco HP D44/ 9'' rear.
5.13 gears
Spooled Rear
3-link the front
4-link the rear
Radflo shocks
Either 35's or 37's for the tires
Custom front and rear bumpers (the most best approach angles)
Full Cage
:headbang :headbang :headbang :headbang

Hope to have it done in about 3 to 4 months.
Evan.

No teeth on the pinion at all? Wow! Usually the spider gears will crap out before that happens. Having lots of fun with this thing huh? :)

Haven't had a chance to take in wheeling yet. The gear oil was nasty as hell looked like the original stuff.


Whitequad: There will be work in progress pictures don't worry.
