MancheKid86 Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 tried on my big boy shoes and then this happened... my steering knuckle failed on me on a hill climb, it was previously cracked (casting was more than oxidized in the break) ejected my front coil as well and half my front drive shaft wasnt located, back to the chopping block, I'm glad it failed on trail, and not on the highway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancheKid86 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 . :MJ 2: . so, bout time for an update started by swapping the tires from 33's to the 36's that are supposed to be on then came some angry eyes ( i did not do a full shade, just enough to be seen, ****does not affect vision of headlights what so ever****) some maint + hooking up wiper jets then it was time for a Flex test, not even at full bump! hahahah little while later after a bunch of snow wheeling i snapped 2 chromollys at the same time so replacement shaft comes, without the necessary hole in the shaft's flange drilling through chromolly 3 hours of straight drilling later!!! the most recent is this, 36's tore a bead so for $600 for 5 40" tires i couldnt pass it up moved onto 40's and ready for leaf pack swap! 40 vs 36! after some trimming and hacking of bushwackers they fit higher! torchin bushings out, will be putting these in next week now some wheelin pics and carnage (havent tested the 40's out yet) more to come!! . :MJ 1: .

MancheKid86 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 well i had three, either i lost one in the bush or some one took it while stumbling by one night seems like i havent updated in for ever! got over 100 photos to upload haha! so lately, ive been super busy with my rig here's a short list of all the things i have done since my last update new clutch flywheel and pilot bushing, new starter and a/c compressor for my onboard air put a detroit lsd in until i get my detroit locker rebuild parts finished off all the ball joints and ujoints upgraded my cooling system to a hi-flow system flo kooler water pump, hi flow tstat, ported and polished a new tsat housing and convertted to an open cooling system as well new power steering pump, steering box, and and steering stabilizer, will do hydro assist in the near future swapped my 89 ax15 with a 99 ax 15 just cause, which i learnt the clock angle i changed on the output flange on the 99 ax-15 had shifted, which than put my tcase hanging lower than my frame :\ no more flat belly rebuilt my tcase doubler and 241/231 combo tcases, updated the doubler internals from a 99 np231, they were worn and needed a refresh (it should be good to go for another 17 years now!) resealed my engine, valve cover, oil filter adapter, rear main, front main, and oil pan put a new harmonic balancer on and probably a few more things, that is where i am at now, will be putting 4.88 gears in soon, just waiting for the gears and install kits to get to do my door step! and now for pictures! (some of them were taken from my old cell phone aka a potato most are good tho!) over hauls tcase and tcase doubler random tcase assembly i built to show what is actually going on in a tcase (training aid) engine and transmission cooling system upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancheKid86 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 seems like i havent been on in forever, trucks still alive, doing the 97+ swap soon aswell just waiting for buddy to pull the parts he wants and ill start stripping everything out here's bit of an update Regear & yet another transmission swap -Regear Had a pinion failure, back story on that. Locker inner couplings were done so needed a carrier to get me to a 4x4 event that weekend so I swapped carriers and shimmed for backlash, on route to the event a bolt came loose and took out my pinion, these bolts I did not touch, so learns me to check if previous people remembered torque and Loctite So I went with Yukon gear 4.88 gears for the front and rear to work better with the 40’s. at this time I took the time to rebuild my lockers for the front and rear as well, both of them had sheared couplings in them -Transmission Swap When I swapped the transmissions, I went to a 99 ax-15 My transfer case clocking angle was no good, it was sticking out lower than my cross member, so I no longer had the flat belly, and my rear bearing was shot as well, so out it came and the other one put back in, at that point I did more mods to my 2nd tcase and drilled and tapped for the 99 shift/lock mechanism ] Vehicle inspection So at one point I was taking a few friends out for a rip, I made the mistake of letting the police know how much my truck was able to flex in town, so I got a nice slip that told me I had 30 days to get a provincial inspection done, it took a bit of work, but nothing I couldn’t handle, the truck passed the inspection, in the department of transports eye it may be ugly, but it is safe, I did how ever lower the truck for the time being, just so my bumper level was closer to the ground, which meant I had to remove the ¾ elliptical setup at that time Bumper straightening So I ended up battling a telephone pole over the winter time, it was a stale mate, we both were still functional and both had battle scars from it, figured it was time to straighten it out again,I need to clean it up and weld it back together, at this time I'm rebuilding the front winch while its off. Hand stuck in bumper, had to get my room mate to come out with some LPS to get it to slide out Re lifting the truck For my vehicle inspection, I had to remove my ¾ elliptical suspension. I wasn’t too happy about that because prior it has passed with it installed, but hey, not my stamp, so in went the big coils and 3/4 elliptical setup, plus new shackes and bushings (which I had to make on a lathe) This truck from the ultimate adventure, I was his tour guide last year and actually got to drive it through whipsaw Me in the rig!
