Welded my spare diff. Lol

Going to put this in. And carry a spare and spare shafts.

I'd goop some more weld in between the spider gears. I have seen welds break cleanly off the carrier when welding the spiders to the carrier.

Picked up my driveshaft for the rear.

Finally got it out today to play with it for a little bit. I love it. The torque is awesome. I crawled up a lot of stuff in 4 high that it struggled with in 4 low and the 4.2. In 4 low, it crawls great.

Nope. No diff yet. I’m undecided on it still. I’d prefer to buy some shafts for it first.

Newest project on the truck.

Heater core replacement. Then I'm almost Moab ready!!!

Holy hell... better you than me!

 

[sawtooth4x4]

Lol. I got it back in already. Still messing around with some wiring though.

And got my spare tire back in somehow. It’s a little tight. But it’s bolted down.

Picked up another item for the Range Rover today. It’s old and I don’t want to be stranded somewhere if something breaks. Lol.

A new trailer. I need to add an extra safety chain and hook the trailer brake wire up. But it’s low and my Range Rover fits. (Barely). Only cost me $700.

I'm not totally sure yet. I haven't been on Golden Spike in a long time. I love Fins and Things, Hells Revenge and Poison Spider. So we might hit those as well, I haven't been in 2 years, so I'd love to hit some things that are easier before I kill myself off.

I don't have any lockers yet, so I'm relying on the flexy suspension to get me through a lot of it.

Good idea on the trailer. Have a great trip to Moab.

I decided it was a good idea to take it on a shake down run. I drove it like I stole it. Well not that hard. But harder than normal.

I went up Skyline from Bountiful and down through Farmington. I left my truck and trailer at the B and took the rover on the loop.

The only issue I had was dropping the rear shaft. The pinion bolts fell out because I didn’t use lock nuts. Luckily I had just enough tools and my old stock bolts in my tool bag to stick it all back together. 20 minutes later I was back on my way.

Some pictures. My wife went with me. We had a good time.

We tested the truck and trailer combo. It works very well. I just need to rewire the trailer brakes tomorrow.

My wife decided to take a picture of behind the wheel.

Testing out my 9” led lights.

Dude.... AWESOME. When you want to do the loop again, or explore the flats, before the snow flies, let me know.
