I used random rods that were laying around, closed my eyes, and winged it. After the abuse he put it thru the following day, I don't think it'll ever break free.

pretty easy to swap if you feel like it, but that's kinda annoying.

Yea im going to do it eventuly but for now the axles are my priority.
With all the junk i bought for the swap I forgot to buy a joint for the UCA. So im stalled out on that. Also Im going to wait to build my track bar mount till after I set up my steering so i can match the angle.

Lol sound is the key word.
I think I have enough money to buy the tube for my steering. So I guess im going to do that today. I WAS also thinking of putting togethe my knuckles and breaks and stuff. I know it will make it heavier but then I can put some tires on it and roll it around.

So it turns out cutting half a circle out of 1/4 with an angle grinder is harder then I thought.
I didnt buy the steering tube cause im an ass and got lazy.
Im waiting for lilnapsak to come buy my 30 from me. Its alittle scary cause once its gone it means theres no turning back.

It really is harder than it seems.
I like to tilt the table on my drill press a few degrees, then put a holesaw with the right diameter in it and drill till it eats away enough in the right spots to use as a guide.

I refunded him a bunch of monies because I totally had no Idea. and had advertized it as a perfectly functioning axle.

yikes, that blows. That's why I pull the cover on any axle I buy that I intend to run the gears in...

That's the funniest thing I've read in a long time!!
Honestly, I'm not surprised it looked like that inside .... I mean seriously, you drive like a maniac on speed.
