I still need lockers, gears, traction bar among other little things.

Last weekend I tore down the axle, cleaned it up (really messy, smelly job ) and got it painted. Then i cleaned and painted the knuckles.

Here are pics:









This weekend I'll rebuild the knuckles, and take the bed off my truck so i can recondition the frame. I'd also like to get my cases built this weekend if i have time.

I wouldn't paint the knuckle balls, or the inside of the housing, because the paint will come off and may ruin the felt or get into the Birfield grease. Otherwise it looks great, Mr. Big Spender, I am envious

hahah yeah ill sand it down to smooth em out. i sorta just ran paint on everything.

and yes, that is 3-4 months of spending!! don't forget i sold the 01 4r for this too....

just entering the last and final $2000 stretch (tires/lockers/gears)

[Lee]

got a good amount done.. finished the knuckles, build the dual cases, got a spare 35.

due to the arrival of parts and some maintenance i wanna do on the truck im actually pushing the cut date up a week, so a week from fri it'll start getting sas'd

only 2 pics today... here are my seats... they got a bit dirty from rubbing against my sliders in the bed of the truck, but that's easy to clean.



and here are the dual cases built... ill put the two together once it's in the truck.



went a little nuts with the silicone gasket stuff in that spot bc the tip broke as i went over it

more soon...

Watching with anticipation.. This build is gonna be sweet

Dont forget to paint the truck like a Red Sock.....

I think the plan was to paint it like a PINK sock.

[Lee]

[jrallan26]

[Lee]
