dont get excited guys, he did all that in photoshop

It took me 5 fawkin weeks to photoshop that you little punk.

That's possiable havn't had time to go by in person to see if it real...

Let me know when you stop by, I'll leave my 7 degree reamer out and you can finish reaming the pitman arm because after working it for 3 hours yesterday I still can't feel my hands which is getting in the way of other activities. I've also seen you eyeballing my pile of 2wd TTB parts and 2 piles of 235 tires... you can't have any of it. Someday it will be worth a fortune to the chinese as scrap steel. :smoke:

Finnaly getting that Stupid bent wheel fixed tomorrow...kinda

Took it back to 4 wheel and told them what a piece of crap it was. They could not bend it back after dismounting it. I can use heat , but then I lose the powdercoat. :frustrate: So I got 4wheel to give another wheel for cost and a spare out of there tire pile. So now I will have 32 on a slightly bent wheel as a spare to mount on my rear bumper when I get it built.

 

[Josh S.]

well that aint too bad of a deal

Ummmm if they work for SBC then they probably don't have enough money to reward you... but since SBC only gives free stuff to non employees it probably belongs to someone who doesn't work for the them... or maybe someone who does work for them but stole it... I dunno.

New Toy!

 

[Stic-o]

Ahhh...Jefe? I have a wee bit of information for you....


YOU DRIVE A FORD!


that should be nice in there...don't you need a adapter? Does AA make one ?

Ahh, but its a FORD with a Chevy/Jeep/Ford front axle, and soon to be Ford/Chevy/AA drivetrain. Cross-breeding at its best

I've had the 700R4 AA adapters (engine to tranny and tranny to 5 bolt T-case) for ~6 months now. just been waiting for some extra $$ and for my 5R55E to complain. And at 90k miles, its doing enough complaining to allow me to put it out of its misery.

Hey guys. Im kinda new to the forum but have a question for any of ya who want to help. im wonderin if any of you would be willing to help install some 4.10 gears in my 2001 8.8. I know that haveing a shop to it would be quite a bit of money but i dont really know to much about this stuff to go at it myself. Im looking into buyin them from someone off this forum, 'Crushin', who says the look to be in excelent condition and have about 20K miles on em. Im runnin 31s right now. Hes asking $75 shipped, what do you think about these? Also, any takers to help on the install. I will come to you and pay for the help. I live in Chino and will drive a bit. Thanks for any responses. Help a brother out.

 

[Jefe]

Hey guys . . . Help a brother out.

If you don't know what you're doing, I wouldn't suggest doing the gears yourself. Personally, thats one of the few thing I leave to the pro's. Here's who did my 4.88's (they also did my brothers Jeep, and a friends Isuzu):

Ramjet Rear End Repair
8783 San Fernando Rd
Sun Valley, CA 91352-1406
(818) 768-3824

Its a hole in the wall shop, but they do very good work, and will have it done in a day. I believe that a solid axle, on the vehicle will cost you ~$150 labor, which is a great deal compared to 4x4 shops. Any diff off the vehicle is $100 labor.
If you ask around at the right places I'm sure you can find a similar shop closer to you.

 

[taknitezX2]

ill give them a call. Is there anyone you know here who knows how to do it themselves? thanks for the info Jefe

Very sweet. When the time comes for my tranny it will unfortunately just be another crabby 5r55e (Or a whole new rig)

On another note if anyone has this Saturday morning free I gotta itch to wheel so I am meeting a few buddies up to do Rowher and Lookout trails. Any all are welcome.
