Bump, you are making me think and that is bad. I already have a camo helmet...

Not sure how convincing this will be with an audi in the back of the m813 though.

got some shit done tonight with adam. axles, gas tank, rear quarter glass, rear bumper and some other crap is all out/off. used the torches for a lot of stuff. so much faster and easier than actually disassembling crap that doesn't need to get saved...

:roflmao:arty::roflmao:arty:

guess who's driving to PA and picking up a 5 ton truck with a massive cummins turbo diesel, 5 speed manual trans, 10 wheel drive, etc for 2500 dollars this weekend... seller accepted my offer

This is gonna be a HELL of an adventure!

Nice, bring a set of good headphones and earplugs

what exactly makes it the king of all benders? I spend a lot of time in lisbon. Maybe i'll throw ya some cash for a die. i need to rebuild my tire carrier out of something that will enable me to back into boulders

I may have exaggerated a bit, but its a 14 foot table bender I picked up for $75 from a government surplus auction. By the looks of it, I should be able to adapt JD2 dies to work on it fairly easy.

no cop in their right mind is gunna pull it over, theyre just gunna think its some military going somewhere and not even wanna bother with it. dress the truck up either full military style or with a bunch of flags so it looks like youre going to a parade.

I would look into it but I have (and I am staying with) sprint so that limits my options... I am fine for now, waiting on windows phone 7 to release and maybe a couple of the upcoming android phones, then I will look into them again. I have no need to upgrade right now. My phone is just starting to get a little slow/laggy ever since getting the new windows mobile but i just gotta spend the time and fix it for myself, after that I will be all set for another 6-12 months.

:thumbup:

I can't wait to leave today. More NP435 parts should be waiting at my doorstep, which is all I need to finish the rebuild.

look at me Mr. "I picked a simple transmission to rebuild"

look at me Mr. "I picked a beastly, simple, awesomely-geared transmission to rebuild"

FIFY.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

i was just poking fun at the fact that it's taking you way less time to rebuild yours. but, you did spend a lot more $ on new parts (i just bought a donor transmission) and yours is easier to work with.

 

[MoparManiac]

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Yeah I'm not claiming this thing to be complicated.

You didn't do new bearings/seals in yours?

I probably have...

-$212 for rebuild
-$70 for input shaft
-$70 for bearing retainers

So probably about $350. But it should last me a long time...

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

i just use stock transmissions and when ANYTHING breaks on them i just get another one for cheap, bolt it in and wheel later that day.

That's how I felt when I got my sawzall, and again when I got my angle grinder. I would like to get a torch at some point but don't really have a compelling reason for it yet, so it's on the "only buy if I see one for a really really amazing price" list.

You're giving me bad idea after bad idea... are you TRYING to get me in trouble? :roflmao:

I have a set of Ubolts for the 8.25 sitting around spare if you want them. I won't have any 8.25s aside from the one going into the MJ (which came with Ubolts) after I get my next rig together so they are all yours.

no cop in their right mind is gunna pull it over, theyre just gunna think its some military going somewhere and not even wanna bother with it. dress the truck up either full military style or with a bunch of flags so it looks like youre going to a parade.

They get pulled over all the time actually - I've been on steelsoldiers.com for a few months trying to learn what I can expect to be broken and how to fix it, and there was a pretty good thread on this. Usual questions:
* license and registration? (just to make sure it's not stolen off a base - and uh, this would be a problem)
* wow, this thing is awesome, how much did you pay for it?
* where the hell can I get one!? (after answer to last question)

Hell, in some of the smaller more friendly towns, the guys even get asked if they (the officers) can ride along for a bit.

EDIT: Post #7 seems to tell me to do what Bump is saying... this could be interesting
Post #19 makes me crack up every time I read it. "Nice Halftrack, we had to come by because we received no fewer than 6 calls to 911 about machineguns on a tank."

So he calls in to radio (This is city of Atlanta Zone 6) that he has a tank stuck at the intersection of piedmont and monroe. I ask if I can go back to getting it started and he says sure, knock yourself out. Then about 2-3 minutes later the entire watch shows up because they CANNOT believe what they just heard on the radio. They all park on the side of the sidewalks, behind me, in nearby parking lots and all come over to look at the 'tank'. One even offers to assist with hand cranking but then gives up after about three tries.

Yeah I'm not claiming this thing to be complicated.

I probably have...

-$212 for rebuild
-$70 for input shaft
-$70 for bearing retainers

My parents paid over two thousand dollars to have the terrible chrycrap in their old dodge minivan rebuilt, so in "normal person" terms I think you're doing pretty good.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Well the other problem is this isn't a 10 year old transmission...it's from a 1977 F150.

Needless to say it's done its fair share of service.
