BT93's 97 eddie V8

[bt93]

Decided to rebuild the case! i'll keep you guys posted on how that goes.

The culprit- badly stretched TC chain

And after a TT and Shackle lift:

Its a bad picture, but it was 9:30 or so. Quickly dwarfed those tires.

The shackles were literally a 15 minute job from start to finish- this rig is soooo nice underneath- not a hint of rust. The factory bolts slid right out, the shackles went right on on both sides. It was amazingly simple and easy.

Tonights progress,
Shackles & TT.
Changed oil in both diffs.
Serviced engine, oil, air & fuel filters replaced.
Pulled EB pinstripe.
Case should be rebuilt & in tomorrow!


I'm ready to get it on the ground!

Got it all buttoned up today and it couldn't have turned out better. Case works great, everything looks good, contemplating a 3" body lift now

Wow, looking back at the pictures, the old chain was massively stretched.

It all came out pretty good today, I'm glad to see it on the road again.

Drove 100 miles or so, I think its gonna be a good rig. I've been detailing it today I'll post pics up later on this evening.

The wheels I intend to use.

Also looking at these Federal Couragia M/T 265/75-16

Stuffed Evans 285's under it this afternoon and surprisingly i could turn full lock with no rubbing. Not to say that it wont when i flex, i know I'm gonna have to do a BL so don't flame me. I love the look

 

[bt93]

Well its done. I ordered the federal tires in a 285/75-16 from the LTS they should be here fri.

There is a whole lot more room there than I thought there'd be for certain.

It's gonna look good
