Con Run Late July

[Gary E]

what about the 28th of june?

If not I can do that july thing, I can probably do the thursday friday saturday thing but I would prefer a fri, saturday thing. You southeners are welcome to stay at my place if you want to break the trip up some.

 

[ChuckD]

I'm free the June 28 and should be able to get the 27 off. How far of a drive is it to the trail from your place? I'll either leave Thurs night and stay at your place or meet you at your place early Fri morning.

I know Zion is working on his project, unless you think he can get away with LR with 260 joints. I know he'll have spares by then.

 

[Gary E]

I hope to have mine ready by then a little incentive wouldn't be a bad thing Shafts are easy to swap, I am down to only a couple of spares I do still have the set of non disco 297s though.

 

[ChuckD]

I'm interested, in the them. I'll also have a set of 260 non-dis spares with hubs. How much do you want for them, are they the true 297's or the reemed out ones?

 

[ZPD]

I should be able to do the 28th. I am trying to upgrade my axle shafts to 297's but I still want to have my disconnect which only existed in a 95 YJ. Any idea how hard it is to find a right shaft out of a 95 YJ? I finally found one in Nebraska and it should be here in a few days. I have located a left shaft at a local yard, I have a lock right sitting on my work bench and I have a diff cover ready to be transformed into a mad max diff cover.
Gary, when you put in that valve on your vacuum disconnect, which line did you put it on? Or does it even matter?
My next two saturdays are booked but maybe I can get it all done in the week nights.

 

[Gary E]

I don't even remember Zion, its a little trial and error, there are three lines one is for the indicator light and the others are to apply vac to each side of the diaphram. hmm yours may have the electric switch on the vac fork for the indicator light.

The one thing that stumped me was that you have to put the one side open to atmoshperic pressure before you suck it over to the other side.

 

[ChuckD]

So, should I ask for the 26 and 27th off?

 

[Gary E]

I am not sure Chuck, I should be able to take friday off, but probably not friday. The "boss" just hired more salesman so I may be swamped I have my LAs tacked together, will be welding them tuesday. then I need to do a Praire city run to make sure nothing falls off but I should be done for the 27th to 28th.

 

[ChuckD]

This weekend we had a fun time at Bald, I'll post up some pics later tonight. So 27-29 sound good, Then I may leave work early on Thurs and maybe stay up at your place.

 

[ZPD]

I will put in a request to have the 27th off. I should have all my stuff done by then.

 

[ChuckD]

I'll do the same, Going to the Rubicon!!!

 

[Gary E]

are you guys planning on bring the fam? I am wifeless that weekend.

 

[ChuckD]

No wifey for me, I think Melinda (Zion's Wife) is the same way,

 

[ZPD]

No wifey for me that weekend. Is anyone else coming?

 

[JeepFreak21]

I should be there w/ my GF.

 

[Maximus]

I have it marked down and I am sure my wife won't be coming.
