Alicia Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 What I saw when we took the bed off... the frame isnt that bad. wire brush and some love and the rust will come off..... but this part is pretty bad. We got the shocks off and all cleaned up without breaking the bolt off! I personally thought I was going to snap right off. Man now that the image is on here it looks worse then it actually was. slowly turning and spraying PB blaster Chewed up brake lines. I'm surprised the brakes actually worked when we got the truck. Half the brake lines are overly rusted, broken off and some are just hanging there not even attached to anything. All I could say when I saw this was WOW Taking off the leaf springs was a pain in the A. We managed to save one.. the other was to far rusted. But we managed to get the dang thing off. next is opening it up and looking inside. Oh and trying to find out how to take the drums off. I have no idea what to expect when I open it up, I just hope the gears are solid. I have no idea how to take the drums off. But I have had no idea what I have been doing this whole time. LOL this is all so amazing, new and just awesome to me. I love learning new things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 All you gotta do to get the drums off is hit the face of it where the wheels go with a big hammer! Do NOT hit the lugs or the top of the drums though! Looking good so far! Keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alicia Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 OK I got all my photos back up! I figured out what happened to all the pictures. I use Photo Bucket to post all of my pictures and while I was in Photo Bucket one day I re-arranged all my photos around and lost all the links to the pictures I had posted on my build. Ill tell ya what it was a major PITA putting them all back up here.... I'd rather be outside taking more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicia Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Stopped working on the jeep during the winter so I could fix up my DD a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500. But now back to Odie! I got the brake drums off the D35 and opened up the Differential to find sparkly oil and chunky gears :( ... I could pull one off of one of the other Comanches I have but I'm in the mood to go with an 8.8 SOA. So now the hunt begins. In the mean time I need to get new leaf springs, break lines, fix up gas tank, sand/paint frame and finish painting the bed. I also need to fix the non-start issue in my 87 MJ.
