Too long? That takes like 20 minutes. Much better than too short.

same... it's really nice to be able to just push my clutch down and roll back out of a sketchy situation.

HEY BUMP! WATCH THIS! probably wouldn't have happened if his ratchet shifter was working properly *or* he had a manual.

the way I see it

auto= less broken parts and less smiles

stick= more smiles and more broken parts

best argument for lifetime warrantied parts ever.

thanks ken. yea dont kill yourself over it. and I dont need the LSD. if you can find a 4.10 open Im fine with that. Ill probably just weld up the gears like on the 35 I run now.

OK, I know I saw at least one or two 4.10s there. I'll grab one if I can scrape the cash together and pull it before the nacfest caravan rolls by.

Related: taxes are supposed to come tomorrow and this company wants me to come back *again* to give a 20min presentation of an example EE project I did... things are looking really promising.

I am aware. that's my next step. I just don't want to piss him off too badly. he does have $400 of mine and a harness and ecm that I don't exactly want to have to track down again and replace.

wow that really blows.

Too long? That takes like 20 minutes. Much better than too short.

yep. Even I can do driveshafts pretty damn well.

What diameter tube? If it is a stock XJ front shaft, 1.75 DOM fits perfectly inside it if you grind down the resistance weld seam with a die grinder, freeze the DOM, and heat the driveshaft tube evenly with a propane torch. Went in easily with a deadblow. I posted a whole series of pics of how I did it on facebook last summer/fall or so.

shit last drive shaft I built I just cut it in half with a pipe cutter. took 2 inches out of it. held it square with 2 pieces of angle and welded it back toegether. the U joint failed before the weld.

Might be down to ride with you at Nac fest since there will be 3 of us in Pat's Jeep.

Also, I'd definitely be interested in riding back with you Sunday (at least part of the way) since we're going to be 3 up in the single cab of Pat's Aunt's truck.

just take wednesday off and go down in the morning, or do you real need 6 hours to determine if dan is hard or not

sounds about right could remember if we planned 9 or 10 or 11 last year due to the surprise stop on the pike last year
