June Invasion! 12th & 13th

**Diff Whack Daddy** · 05-30-2010, 02:42 PM

Okay, so who all is coming?

For repairs so far we have a manual t-case swap for Friday night and possibly a clutch replacement on a 79 CJ5, we'll see.

*97xlt4.0* · 05-30-2010, 09:03 PM

I'm still plannin on making the drive up from Portland! Looking like I may have to make it a day trip, though.....

*Albino 94LTD* · 05-30-2010, 10:07 PM

Of course I'll be there. Not sure if I'm comin up Friday evening or Saturday morning yet.

Wanna do a little welding on my exhaust and maybe some brackets on the front bumper for those new lights.

Might want to install that power steering cooler too, after planning out the ARB air system.

*jrgaylor* · 05-30-2010, 10:47 PM

I am committed to being at the WOW fun in Elbe to winch stuck people off the new Rainier Vista Trail.

Stolle · 05-31-2010, 07:55 AM

kevin its nothing major but id like to also change some fluids in my truck?

i need to change the manual transmission fluid also if thats cool. its acting up.

Stolle · 05-31-2010, 08:04 AM

update!!!!

ive done some searching about the trans acting up. seems i might have a leaking slave cylinder....hmmm.

ill check it out when i sober up LOL

Stolle · 05-31-2010, 06:17 PM

update yet again. Kevin could we do my clutch at night and can I just ridfe with someone? My clutch pedal is very very weak...and I've read u gotta pull the trans off to replace the slave cyhlinder.

**Diff Whack Daddy** · 05-31-2010, 08:36 PM

Yep, the slave cylinder and trow out bearing are one unit. It will definitely make swapping the t-case easier. We could pull the tranny Friday night and re-install it Saturday after wheelin on Saturday which would still allow you to play Sunday

Stolle · 06-01-2010, 04:29 AM

it will make the tcase swap easier? cutting the hole in the floor? explain LOL.

and thanks for being so willing to let me swap this stuff at your house! ill deff bring some beer LOL!

**Diff Whack Daddy** · 06-01-2010, 12:09 PM

The hole is already in the floor, we just have to move the access plate.

To replace the slave cylinder, you have to completely remove the tranny. We can remove the tranny and t-case as a unit and than swap the manual one in while it's in the middle of the driveway instead of on our backs.

Stolle · 06-01-2010, 02:51 PM

sucks.

the clutch went to the floor this morning. i couldnt hold out for 2 weeks on it. i had to have a shop just get it done since its my only mode of transport out here.

looks like we only got a transfer case to do now.

Andy - Not sure if it's already in the shop, but I'd recommend Lakewood Transmission (think it's exit 125 near McChord)...

Kevin - May have to travel to D.C. that weekend (13th), so I'm 50-50 for the event. If I can fit it in, probably just a day trip on the Buell... Are there some Tahuya-like trails with a few obstacles / play areas, or is it gnarly from start-to-finish?

**Diff Whack Daddy** · 06-01-2010, 08:01 PM

Mostly play trails?

2?

Could I see a Subaru in my mirror?

**Diff Whack Daddy** · 06-01-2010, 11:54 PM

Entrance is a strong 3. Mostly tight rooted trails. No outbacks

*jaschlum* · 06-01-2010, 11:59 PM

*jaschlum* · 06-02-2010, 12:36 AM

**Diff Whack Daddy** · 06-02-2010, 11:45 AM

But. . . , your call is very important to us!!! Yep, thanks for the tech support this weekend - - was cleaning up the t-case last night and noticed to cracks in the rear drive shaft housing (bolts to the main unit where the t-case yoke emerges), so I guess all the thrashing did more than I thought. . .

Fun!

Paul

You should be able to get the from Atlas. I think that is the bearing housing for the rear output shaft. Sounds like a possible good time to upgrade to the larger output and 1350 u-joints. I don't see a listing of Atlas parts on they're website, so it's probably gonna require a call.
