Gearing?

[2T2]

The only reason it was 160 is because I allready did most of the work. they are telling me its going to take them 6-7 hours to do the rear. So yea some were around 4-500 regardless if I bring in the truck or the Axle.

Have you read up on the many, many how-to articles on the internet? The WW AHS has all the tools you'd need, and using those on-line instructions, I'd bet you could get it done.



In way less than 6 hours.

don't get me wrong 160 I don't mind paying that or even 250 but 400 is just out of my price range. I would love to do it myself and learn something. But I just couldn't seat the bearing carrier EAFB hobbie shop just didn't have the right tools. So now I have to resort to paying someone. this sucks I'm going to Anchorage this weekend to pick up a freind and I really wanted to take him on a ride.

You're going to Anch? Load that 3rd member in your car and take it to Oddballs Inc. see www.alaska4x4network.com for contact info. If he can't do it, start a thread on that site.
There's lots of guys on that site who can do this. And they don't have the monopoly Young's does. I bet you can get it done for under $200.
kodiakoffroad.com can prolly help you out as well. Don't forget to mention ArcticOffroad.com!

Good idea.

Sevenslats,what is WW AHS?

[sevenslats]

Ft Wainwright Auto Hobby Shop

Much better than Eielson, IMHO.

[2T2]

I'm only going to be in Anch for a day. Maybe I'll do it next week at the Army Hobbie shop (woops I think I just answerd my preveous Qestion).

[2T2]

anyone going to be at the WW AHS I think I'm going to try and do the gears there tonight and over the next few day's after work. From 5:00 to 8:30. If anyone can stop by and give me some help and expertise I would greatly appreciate it. See you there.

Wainwright AHS does not have the tools. Someone who use to work there did and you had to know him to use them.

[2T2]

I just gave them a call and they said they have just about everything I need to do this so I'm going to try. I hope they do because if not the truck is going to be there for awhile. Anyone going to meet me there? if not I understand. its prety sort notice. remember any help would be appreitated if you know what your doing or not its prety easy to turn a wrench. Thanks

[holeski]

They most have gotten them since the last time I did gears there.
I would help but I'm just swamped with work and baby duty.

[ChevyKev]

IF you pull the 3rd member and bring it by my place I could probably do the gear installation for you - and I know it would be cheaper than Young's. I have a press and dial indicator and other needed tools. Problem is my timing. I am super busy. Clal me (I'll PM the umber) and we'll try to figure something out.

[2T2]

Cool thanks

[2T2]

I decided I'm not going to WW something came up. I think I'm just going to pull the gears out and have someone set them for me. Thanks

[2T2]

Yet another We Love Kevin Post.

Glad to hear you're getting that beast trail-worthy. I didn't make it intime for your transmitter recovery last year, but I saw the truck and it looked well-loved.
