SQRLPWR Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Here's a photo. 2 of the Yokos are bad due to an alignment problem, the other 2 have good tread, but have some scars. I can donate them for the cause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SQRLPWR Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Exploded my alternator belt on Magazine Hill after coffee tonight. Luckily I made home under battery power. I guess my alternator bearing took its victim LOL I've been putting this belt job off for a looooong time. To remove it I have to remove the steering pump belt, and the long adjuster for that is seized between the engine behind a backing plate. I know with these shitty alloy bolts, its gonna snap as soon as I touch it. I've got it soaking in PB...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 That sucks man, hopefully it does get freed up with the PB blaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Found an alternator and pulled the Ram 2500 front driveshaft from Kennys. Replacing an alternator on an Xterra is a miserable job LOL. Let's hope number 3 holds up I managed to get some heat on the steering pump adjuster, enough to get a few turns, add antiseize and free it up So new belts for the 1st time....and looooong overdue LOL I was going to try and use a Chev alternator, but with the SAS, I can't fit one through any of the gaps as they're Chev alternator is bigger. No biggies, I'll just have the couple of spares I have reconditioned. Test fitted the RAM driveshaft and the ujoints are bigger, so I'm on the hunt for a combination ujoint - 79 Bronco to later 90s Ram 2500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil'monster Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Jay you should run out to my shop and look through my driveshaft pile and see if anything will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerram Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Wow, they didn't have any Ford trucks there to grab a driveshaft from? Hopefully Lil'monster has one. Any Ford f150 from the early 70's up to 1996 will work. They all have the slip in the drive shaft like the Dodge one you have. Also some of the bronco II and explorers have the same front u-joint as Ford 1/2 ton and a flange at the t-case like your Nissan flange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SQRLPWR Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Installed my sensible shoes - I'm really digging these 31" Kelly TSRs. I've only got 2, but I might have to try and get 2 more to make the full set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerram Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Got the new to me 1 ton 4x4 running and took her for a rip around the yard. It actually seems to run pretty smooth. Might have a plan for that engine. Trans shifts smooth up to 3rd. Everything sounds good. It has some rusted injector line issues, she leaves a small trail of diesel everywhere.

And they take a beating too. Also you don't have to have em stick out as far as mine, that's an added piece of steel to pull my trailer IV hit everything with my mirrors from barbed wire fences, telephone poles, trees, buildings , junk trucks/cars and probably more I'm forgetting IV hit them so hard, when they folded they dented the door where the glass part hit. These are still original to this truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 That Ford style is the best. Period. IMHO, lol. I had them on my Toy, and I'm putting them on the Scout. Buy 'em at Crappy Tire. Only issue I have at the moment is I can't find a 'convex' head for the RH side, but I always add a small round convex mirror anyway. I have the OEM Chev style on the Burb and love 'em as well, but they only contour to the Chev door. The Ford style fits any door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82Yota Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I have the ford style on my 82 yota but didnt have a drill press to drill the stainless out on them properly so I just welded the little ******* to the doors... Dont do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
