Project Crawlin68

[Delta 4 Wheel]

It's a possibility. I'm getting close. Are you still up for going on Sunday if I can get it buttoned up tomorrow?

Geez Pat, that looks like crap...

[crawlin68]

Definitly, I have my axle replaced and even painted the new door inserts and should have them back on tomorrow. Do you need a hand with anything?

Thanks for the offer, but it's just a bunch of little stuff now. I'll let you know how it goes today. Thanks.

Well, I ran into a couple of time consuming snags yesterday, so I don't think that I'm going to make it for a run today. Darn!

[highlander]

So whats left to do? I ran in to a little snag myself, I drove the bronco down to the future inlaws for dinner and on the way home the thermostat gasket blew out. Not a big problem just have to run to Prather for a gasket.

I need to weld on some little tabs to hold the brake lines and weld a brace to the hydraulic clutch mount. Then it's just reinstall everything from the spindles out.

My little snag yesterday was I needed to find a taller 90* elbow to put on the hydraulic line coming out of the ram. Everything is such a tight fit with the short high steer arms that I have. Anyway, I found what might be a good temporary fix at Napa to raise that elbow up a bit to where it might clear everything.

Then put the coil springs back in and install shocks.

When are you leaving for Moab?

[crawlin68]

Early next Sat morning. I can't wait!!

[720Racer]

That's going to be a damn good time. Are you going to drive your Bronco this afternoon?

[highlander]

We can always do a late afternoon-early evening run this week if you can get away.

If all goes well tonight, how about a test run tomorrow after work?

[highlander]

I'm up for it, keep me posted. What time do you think you could get up here?

[crawlin68]

Well, she is one the ground and I took her for a quick spin tonight. It was too dark to get any pics, but I'll get some tomorrow.

My brother wants to come along too. He gets off at 4:30 and will leave straight from work. I will meet up with him and head up the hill, so we could be at your place around 5:30. Will that work for you?

We might get some sprinkles of rain and/or light snow why were up there so be prepared. It's supposed to be very light if anything.
