MancheKid86 Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 I'm not the greatest driver when it comes to standard but here it is :) as i promise video of it running the very first time under its own power my stands kicked out from the back of my tires, :D you gotta really pound on the clutch but it should work itself out now that my truck runs, i think its about time to go get ready to go graduate it took me 1 1/2 years to get this truck finally running again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbyluvv Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 That looks like body filler cracking. I don't think you will be able to weld them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancheKid86 Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 today i went to autoshop and i removed the my mismatched tires off my rims and threw on some goodyear wranglers, took me about an hour to remove, wirewheel the rims for rust on the edges, put new tires on, and balance them. by the time i had all my tires ready to be balanced another person in the shop wasnt even finished balancing his first tire, so i made him get off so i could do mine XD poor guy had some beat up 33's that were just... not balancing, XD off with the old on with the new lol this is quite interesting, :shake: had to beat one on permanent resident to my vehicle until i get some more lug nuts, i beat that sucker on just to get my tire off, never can be to careful, got 3 tool kits behind my seat too hmm i need to fix this, P.O didnt put the hinges back in when he painted, off comes the dash again time to install a stereo, hmm the wires were FUBAR so i abandoned them mounting it and finished :) speakers in, and ready to go now not only does it make lots of noise and drive, it has music as well :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 The painted windshield trim is original from the factory, mine is doing the same thing. I pulled a set of unpainted trim from a CFC Wagoneer and will install it soon. Not sure how easy it will be to remove the original paint. Good luck.

Pete M Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 It is possible to drill out the flange and install U-bolts in their place. No more straps. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancheKid86 Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 is there a thread that shows what you mean? :P and how costly is it? since i have a dana 35, i don't want to spend alot of money on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I've seen photos, so it's around. ask in the Tech forum and I'm sure someone will know where to find it. All you need are the little U-bolts and a drill bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kastein Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Hope you used a bit of rubber line somewhere in that clutch line you installed - else the vibration and engine mounts flexing will slowly stress crack it somewhere. Other than that, looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need are the little U-bolts and a drill bit. ahh i see what you mean now, good idea but id rather my straps fail instead of my pinion gear/shaft Hope you used a bit of rubber line somewhere in that clutch line you installed - else the vibration and engine mounts flexing will slowly stress crack it somewhere. Other than that, looks great! :oops: lmao when the time comes to replace it i will XD keep that as a spare in my glovebox with a bottle of brake fluid and lots of extensions XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancheKid86 Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 taking genovast's advice, go buy the $7 seal XD fixed my oil leak, when me and my friend put it on, he didnt make sure the gasket was on properly o_O another good reason to do all the work myself, so i know for certain it gets done, up to my standards atleast :D going down to buy a output shaft seal for my ax-4 will post some pics after its installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
