Parts train Sunday

[Lowrange2]

I can't get my ducks in a row by tomorrow. We'll find another way to get it there. Thanks tho.


Once upon a time I pulled a complete drivetrain (engine, transmission, t-case) all together by myself. It was HUGH pain in the ass and had my engine hoist maxed out. Also, I wasn't being very careful with anything.

The body wasn't in very good shape...

Alright my wife is picking up that bumper in statesville tomorrow, does anyone need anything else? If not she will probably just drive her little baby Yaris Hatchback (40 mpg) If someone needs something she can drive the truck.

Hello knoxville!

Nick,

I should have had you deliver those steel wheels to Doug's! Uggghh, why didn't I think of that.

What size tires are on those wheels?

Let me know when you come down.

LOL! Need new meats now?

 

[Lowrange2]

They were 34-9.50-15s. Parted that junk out 2 years ago... Those are long gone. There were cupped too bad to ride on anyway.

 

[PacificEd]

I like those rims and was curious to see how they would look on mine. My tires will be 33/1050R15's so that is what I was looking for. Did it run wheel spacers?

 

[Lowrange2]

No wheel spacers. They were stock steel wheels. I have no clue what width they were. I'm pretty sure they were 15x7 with near a 4" backspacing. They rubbed like crazy with those tires and tons of trimming!

We even tried to rip the front end off to clearance for the tires... As you see in the picture.

I wish I would have kept those tires for the other trail rig we have now...

 

[Lowrange2]

Those poor tires lived on a set of V5 DIY beadlocks that I made on my junk for one wheeling trip. lol

Oh man I wish you had thought of that sooner! I still have em. You will have to remind me before the Crawl.

Bad picture from my phone, but the motor is settled into its temporary home while it gets, refreshed.

That poor engine stand...

 

[Cnickgo]

That poor engine stand...

Lol yeah it's a little sketchy, hence why the ratchet strap is there. I'll have most of it stripped down in the next couple days though.

 

[Lowrange2]

Yeah, the engines ain't light...
