my stuff is apart getting new gears and rear wheel berrings. if im back together perhaps, but I prefer to explore the less known and well ridden trails. most of which require a winch and a locker, sometimes it just turns into a forestry rd exploration..
many introduction threads turn into where are the trails. usually its directed toward sooke and the cowichan valley and more specifically the clay pits and the slag piles. you an find the road that lead there in the gps routes on this forum but the trail going up there isnt on there yet! hahaha well if you take hillcrest rd and follow it all the way thru the park about 8-12 km I think, on the other side will be roads on the right the third one in is the one that will lead you to both the clay pits and if you go past the clay pits up a little creek looking road you will find the slag piles. good times
so after buying a slightly off 4.375 welded diff for the gears to go in the front, I was concerned about undue wear on my t case. well a semi retired guy got a hold of me and said he has a good match for me that would take my Lockright, for 50$, and he has the jig and press to do my rear wheel bearings and the knowledge to help me set the front 3RD back up properly all for the sum of beer and company!!! whole foods hell I am stoked this guy is being very generous in offering up his services. says his place is in among the infamous little mountain towing crowd in Combs, so I just cant wait! gonna be some sick rigs in various stages of built. I am also picking up another spare AW4 trans with a torque converter for 30$ from Alberni and a Taurus E-fan from Qualicum for my buddy Matt's build.. should make for a good weekend next week. and I am hoping to get it back together for the end of march and re insure it sometime after that, still waiting on taxes to pay of the cc and get up above water here but were not doing too badly,
im down for another week as well, whole bunch ofpeople goingh out from face books cowichan offroad and jeeping page, they are meeting at drinkwatter tims at 930
apparently it still leaves something to be desired being a 7.5" ring gear but. but I think you would need to find the berring races that are pressed into the housing(stupid me didnt realize I should have grabbed them), it will replace the unit bearing that is stock them and then just sliding the axle in and bolting it all up and some new brake pads and drums or have these drums turned.. apparently all this will do is keep the tire on the housing for a while while you figure it out..
another option is what gear do you have? I know where there is a welded 8.8" ford axle with 3.73 -3.75s
