Buildup-(pictures-a lot)

Yep! Never doing it again!
I tried again on the line and tonight this one actually fit... I didn't have to flare it. So... We'll see if it leaks tomorrow. Time to bleed them again, yeehaw!

 

You mean you had 2 u joints fail (F & R), or did you drive w/ no brakes w/o having the front axle engaged?
Even if 1 UJ, it actually failed, ie, blew apart at [assumed] slow speed?

What HW did you loose?

Where was the "oil" leaking from?

 

Just 1. No front axle. I was using the ebrake to stop.

Just random bolts and nuts that I left on the frame rails after removing them, old stuff. It wasn't important. I got it all back. Oh a wrench fell off too. HEY I was looking for that! R)

It was 'oil' and from the trans case and front gasket, haven't fixed that. My exhaust man said he'll look at it.

I tweaked one of my fail lines and it actually looks like how it was before... Perfect! And it doesn't seem to be leaking.

 

Brakes are fixed and bled, no leaks AFAIK
and
I grabbed a new u joint tonight, I'll work on it in the AM (Or PM... I'm tired....)

 

Watched the rolling video. Looks Awesome Sammy! Glad nobody was seriously hurt. Unfortunate chain of events :/

 

It was fun! I got it all back together tonight, not much harm, just 21 bucks even in U Joint and hardware.
Just my dad the doctor thinks my middle fingers tip is broken. But, when yer young and dumb you tend to have this stuff happen to you

 

U joint in... Only had to rebuild it twice and put the needles in one of those times! on to the other stuff. waiting 10 days for my cage DOM to come in... hmmm...

 

got this figured out while I'm waiting for tube.

 

make sure you put some reinforcement in the tailgate to hold the weight or it will get warped. Also if you are going to carry a gas can back on the tailgate you might want to bolt the tailgate shut, less rattles.

 

I've already got some 3/16" strip I'll weld a frame from and then weld to the tail gate, and re skin it, so it'll be 2 tailgates in 1. The holes were in it already from a gas can long ago. Then on the jack I'll put a 3/16 plate behind in the wheel house and then enforce it. NO bending, I hate dents

 

Dont skin it, I know you live and a dry enviroment but lost of junk can get between the two. Just use strips of angle Iron like on the m38 tailgate.

 

That tail gate looks like it''s in great shape, why not just make a heavy duty one for the gas tank then you can flip the original on when you don't need the tank?

 

trust me it has some cancer R) the can is covering it up. I guess I'll just make another, I had thought about that.

 

Sammy,

Do you want that m38 hood I have extra? If not let me know. I may sand it down find the hood numbers repaint it and use it as wall art for a garage.

 

Bill, I totally forgot about it. Part of me says yes because the snorkle would be cool. Part says no because shipping is brutal and every man needs wall art...

 

If you want I can find out what the shipping will be, just send me your zip code

 

Thanks Bill
Well uhm funny story... Keep it, I'd like to see the art from it...
I may be getting another hood...with some other parts...like a whole jeep attached to it...
SHHHHHH... You didn't hear that.

 

If it is an m38 let me know. I always need more parts.

 

Go to the first post in the flatty forum... that's it, Andrew got it before I did
