Nah he needs AT's for that.

went to Auto Zone and picked up 2 pair of self greasing hubs for the trailer. You replace the stock dust cover with one that has a rubber fill pocket and grease fitting to fill from the outside of the hub, essentially making it so you dont have to remove the bearing or the dust cover to grease the bearings.
The grease reservoir is spring loaded so as old grease thins out and escapes the bearing, the spring pushes new grease in it's place. It is a slick little innovation that my father in law showed me.

Picked up a set of 32x11.5 BFG MT's with 30% tread left. Gonna bring them up and maybe try running them in the winter some and see if they are worth the effort. If not, then at least they are functioning spares or can be used as a set for bartering

I've been running bearing buddies on my snowmachine trailer since '97. Never had a problem.

is that what they are called? It seems to be a good design. That and the tranny temp guage were my onlyy remaining worries. I want to put my best foot forward on this haul back up the ALCAN.

Yeah I just make sure they are topped off before every trip. You can tell if they are just by looking at them.

I need to go and get a set of those as well.

We use them on out boat trailers in Florida, really helps keep the trailers alive after diping them in salt water over and over again

Newly installed used front axle shaft, and manual hublocks. Now next time I break an axle I won't have to take apart my hubs to drive home... Drained water/oil mixture from front diff and replaced broken vent tube which was also full of water. Trying out marine grease for the first time.

203 Range box rebuilt.
Doubler assembled and ready for installation.

the lawn ornament is no longer in my yard.
Now to try to get all the work done on the xj and dodge.

Pulled overload leaf springs and found rear spring bushings shot, but the zuk rides better and i get alot more wheel travel.

PERFETTO!!



Maybe some fender work and i can go quite a bit further

extreme thanks to AKRam&Fam for their time

Looks pretty good!! For a full size!

I am sensing the need for spare driveshafts

looks good though

that thing looks great! I really like the stance.

I guess I was not seeing things. Looking good Chris.

That thing rawks...can't wait to see it in person.

Well the jeep is not going to meet and greet. My guy here found the front pinion bearings are shot , front ujoints and couple are bad , there still working on the rest of the problems

So does this mean that the broncinator is going as your spare?

This is probably from the broken upper CA's

anythings possible
no the bronco is not going just the silver bullet, wonder if it has a rev limiter

I scored four air bags today, I am thinking 3 link front and four link rear and 35 to 38 inch tires. if i can pull it off this winter.

Lawn Dart 2?

Revenge Of The Lawn Dart

XJ bumper functional and most cosmetics done. Still need to make the end pieces but have no time. also need to get a new bolt and square nut to securely mount the winch again.
New bearings and seals on the D44.
NEw front axle shaft u-joints. Lets see how long these last.
MTR's mounted:myself:

Bronco has the entire front axle disassembled. Lockright installed in the carrier. Going to Youngs tomorrow to get a ring gear bolt kit. Think I might 2 day air a mini spool for the rear. Looking into disk brake conversion but not sure it will come through in time so I will most likely reinstall the drums.
