Ok folks. I'll like to leave my place by 8:00 PM saturday night June 18th. I mean be air down and rolling down the road to the canyons. Now if you plan on meeting me, you know where i live so show up. I'll try this to see how it goes and go from there with it. Like i said this is a easy run just to get folks out of the house for the night.I would think you could run this in 2 wheel drive being aired down.Bring your drink with you.Hope to see you here. Last night it got COOL over here, which was nice.Turned A/C off all night and had just the windods open

Scott... close your "windods" we don't need to know about that stuff. :laugh2:

Seeing as how I'm on S/B I need to be close to home... have FUN !!

Fastenal in P.D. ?? NAPA can't order ?? Robert K. ?? Jeff might be up there this weekend... maybe E-mail him ??
Randy's shop is now closed...

Curt

Thanks Curt, I'll try Fastenal. Went by NAPA, He showed Me in the catalog what they could order. Ring bolts are not one of them, but if You need a drive pin retainer bolt, dodge has 11, He thought they were ring gear bolts. I went down and educated Him after He brought them to Me. Cat city to home I hit the other suspects. I pm'd Robert, He was kind enough to give Me a price. Still may have to get them from Him if I have no luck.

Jeff might be up there this weekend... maybe E-mail him ??

Jeff? Wild Man with the 35's and the cage? Whats his screen name? :anon: Hey, I'm old, I'm lucky to remember My own name.

WTF... OUCH!

well theres alot of issues when dealing with left hand bolts. but no locktite either?

I know, what a trip, huh?

 

[David_Bricker]

Ouch Dude, I'm 20 east of Palm Springs, in the low desert, in a different countRy.:twak: I can order them through dodge, but I don't want to wait 7-10. Thanks. :roll:

Fixed it for you... Sorry, forgot to look specifically where you're at. From a parts standpoint, you're nearly as rural as I am.

Hey, since you're close, maybe you could get some bolts from one of the big parts stores in Salton City! (I know, I have property there). Good luck finding them.

No i think he just removed them for now curt.I'm going to show him how to do trails that are full of holes, so he can learn to make it up them open/open like the wife does now. You know foot to the floor style.:moon:

[Paul Airhart]

Should have said something, took one off My Brothers Jeep.

 

[Paul Airhart]

Thanks again to The Mayor! I got the housing plug welded.

And got the tool finished.

Got the mods done on the e-cables. Had to remove about 8", Ok maybe it was only 4". :laugh3: Unscrew the end, grind the cable housing, and start bending the links off. Screw the end back on and done.

Got the locker ground into a usable shape, cleaned up and ready to go.

I even got to speak with RobertK and and He's sending the bolts out Monday. Thanks Robert!

Barring anything unseen, this is going to cost about $40.00. Hope it was worth it, Sir.
