sar4x4 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Ok so got a new seal and put her all back together. She's good to go and get broken again. LOL. And some pics First the busted up CV that was seized onto the inner axle20150427_183939.jpg And the splines of the inner shaft after we pressed out the old CV. 20150427_191921.jpg It will come apart so much quicker next time, now that you know how, and the bolts and splines are all freed up! Ask Jay, he just did it also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I upgraded to a MSD Blaster epoxy filled coil tonight on the Scout. Epoxy filled because I have it horizontal in the factory location and the MSD oil filled ones you can't mount horizontal! Although sealed against leakage, there isn't enough oil to cover the windings when horizontal for proper cooling. My original had too high of a primary resistance. I have a Mallory distributor but Mallory has been bought out by MSD last month and this is now the matching coil. I was also able to get the matching Mallory ballast resistor new. I also took off the *******' starter relay that I bought new and put on, because it is busted right from the store. I had a bad feeling when I bought it that it was an inexpensive no-name brand. And my gut was right. And I suspect the store doesn't take electrical returns. I'll be getting a better one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Went for a little test run from Fall River to Bayers via the 102 with the front hubs locked and in 2WD. No issues, no over heating or leaking so far. Also found a nice shale pit and some loose rocks - climbed up no problem, not an inch of wheel slip :) Why is it photos don't look as gnarly as in real life? ..not saying these are..but u know what I mean :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brunet-Hemi Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I too would like to know the location of this hill. sounds like fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 It's been a year or more since I last went there, and I've slept since then...I didn't have the foresight to track it either :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e36m3 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I went there once and didn't try it because the kids and dogs were with me. I dont care about flipping the truck, but not with them inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there twice and didn't want to try it LOLI haven't tried it either, but I also haven't been there when anyone else has. You go first Jay, and then I'll decide! :D It is not nearly as bad as you think it is. It is much easier though when it is warmer and dry... The warm rock and warm tires provides a lot more grip.

My04T4R Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I made it up two seperate times in the rain and it was kind of sketchy, a few good bumps and I was up, no drama at the top when turning around suprisingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram5.9 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Great spot to play. It looks harder then what it actually is but still fun. I going in this weekend to take a look at the trails. They have to be ready soon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoMitch Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Since I finally figured out how to post pictures, thanks to Tom :) Here's what I did the last week! A little lamer than lockers.. but eh :) New exhaust!! It doesn't sound like a subaru anymore! I had to do some custom work to make it fit though, It's for a v6! 20150426_164707 by mitch_parsons, on Flickr Then we have the CB antenna mounted and the Coax ran! 20150428_153714 by mitch_parsons, on Flickr And last but not least I "finished" my grille! But its an off white so I sanded and painted again. 20150429_161749 by mitch_parsons, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 nice work! watch that exhaust tip on drop-offs ;) how's the CB working for ya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoMitch Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 The tip is MASSIVE! Its a clamp so I can take it off if I know I'm going to be wheeling! However exhaust is corrosive, And I'm fond of my bed sides for now! :D I haven't gotten the actual radio in yet but I spent some time yesterday routing the cable. It enters the body underneath the center console through a plug, and then runs along the inside to the passenger footwell (where the cb will be mounted). All that's left is finding power for the CB (I have to decide whetehr I want to hard wire it or make a plug in for the cigarette lighter) and ground the antenna. Then it'll be ready to be tuned.
