Green Hell...the Never Ending Project

Ahah good view, i did see it yesterday. I will put some shrink on both. Thank you for the reminder.

 

A more complete shot of the front and rear fender mounted.

Paint is going to be done around april-may.

 

99% of engine bay is done. Need to get a longer hoze for overflow.

Look a little more organized.

 

Had to call a part for my father jeep at summit so put those little led light from poison spyder. I will use them as front side marker. They have two intensity so i can use them for the parking and for the flasher too. I will make a test on a test pipe prior to drill the pipe on the fender

 

So first time i take the jeep out for some fun....those fender make you fly

 

Really happy about my automatic set-up...i was competitive this year. The T18 never has been a good racer.

Oups....i saw before something strange on the rear axle....i think my jump didnt help....

 

We see why this is "Never Ending Project" !!

Good Job racing - Good Job tearing it up - Good luck finding a new axle.

 

Yeah, that's part of the game

I'm going to get it temporary welded by a professionnal.

As for axle, i have 2 or 3 core in the back yard so it's not an issu.

 

Looks like one on front side of the housing too. That was pretty wild!

 

Ahah yes, two crack

I must admit i'm not very gentle wih the machine time sometime

 

Got the axle welded by a professionnal welder. Its temporary fix, i will loking to built a new rear axle with a empty one that i have in the backyard

 

Still enough snow so i can burry the 36's

 

Lay down the part i need to install....now just need to find some motivation ahahah

 

So i started the teardown yesterday. I would have pull the axle shaft but my 1-1/8 wrench is gone missing. I need one the take the bottom ball joint nut. Will be the first time i took those axle out in 5 years. I can stand by RCV reputation. 5 years of hard beating, jumping and going WOt without any issu (that i know at the moment ahah)

 

Knukkle has been pulled off. Was easier thank to pull them off than when i assemble them. Alors working on the trailer make thing easier since you working at good height. I can say i'm impress with the 5 years of hard beating and everything is looking fine. The grease in the rcv is just like when i put them, no debris mud or whatever.

The ball joint on the knukkle were still feeling strong but since those are pretty cheap on the prize i will change them.

 

Didnt have time to put a lot of work on it.

I have put new ball joint on my knukkle, now that i have the right tool the job is a joke.

Also start to clean part, the orange boot is still in good shape after some cleaning

 

Drives me crazy how the orange boots look so nice yet get dirty so quick!

 

You dont put those boot to only go to ice cream store. They have see their share of mud, snow, salt, grease ahahah

Also i may have spray a little black paint over time....
