Started pulling my rear end apart tonight in prep for my new to me 4" BOR flexy-e's.

While pulling it apart I found this on all 4 u-bolts! Wonderful.

And the jeep now leaks oil almost like how mikes jeep was. Btw Mike ill be hitting ya up in a week or so.

 

[DutchVDub]

Looks almost like somebody used too small of U-bolts and flexed them around the axle to make them fit.

Ya let me know man we can get whatever done.

Get some new bolts. that shit doesnt look good

Thats the plan. Luckly I know who has some! I don't have much cash right now so I can't get new ones...

I've always had a thing for wagons but I also kinda dig wood grain trim. I'm thinking about doing something to the Subaru. This guy is in my Impreza club and I love what he did. Kinda funky and reminiscent of some older family trucksters. I've also thought about just doing the trim inside in wood grain.

I have some old steel jack stands you can have, FOR FREE!!!

 

[Kiefer316]

It's on Jack stands I just used the cinder blocks to hold the axle over night.

 

[Kiefer316]

Anyone willing to help me relocate my shock mounts on the axle end?

 

[DutchVDub]

If you bring the jeep or axle up to me then yes.


Thanks to Nick (Gotlift01) I got to see what my Jeep will look like on big kid tires. More pics in my build thread.

Zac doesn't remember hitting anything that hard.

I'm going to play with straightening it, I ordered a new bracket from Frank, anyway.

 

[xj-grin]

jeebus. I weep that someday my boys will be teens. I swear, we're going to move to rural montana and raise sheep. They can be buddist philosophers or something :looney:... he hit something fairly hard, I think...

Yeah, thats happens sometimes.

It was a salvage title, and I think it is the original axle based on how the upper control arm bolts looked. So it could have been tweaked there. The other bracket is nice and straight. The funny part is that I thought he had distorted the front springs, and we were in the process of replacing them. The passenger side wasn't coming off like it should have, so I went to DC the control arm. Hmm, Houston, we have a problem.

 

[DutchVDub]

Boat sides, that is all

 

[eflores]

rebuilt the transmission from the tow rig today. holy shiiiiiiit that fawker is heavy fully built

The very same bracket under Horribillis' rig that I'm parting out looks exactly like that......... Ya sure Zac didn't drive over a parking lot light base?

That ain't gonna be any fun to fix.......

 

[DutchVDub]

I don't know, plasma cut the old one off and do a bit of grinding and the new one should be easy enough to weld back on.
