When are we going to have workdays to get ready for the event?

We will be there. Three of our trucks are registered to come. The Beast which is mine, Dad's rrc, and Enon's disco altho that might change to simba 1 but I doubt it.

I know where the name came from.

I typically run my mig machine at 30 cfh but then again its a bigger gun than that. I would say 20 cfh should be sufficient unless there is wind or over head then it might need to be bumped up a bit.

Personally I would wait until you get the 24 spline hd units. Welding the diff isn't a prob there is a tutorial on ih8mud about how to do it correctly to minimize the possibility of it failing. But going with the welded rear or the washer option is not what is going to break its the axle...

Its the bar tenders bible full of drink recipies of course.

What are you putting in its place?

Come on now like we can't be having any negitive waves man that would like totally kill whats going on here... Have no fear for oddball is here! Get yourself a couple of them strawberries right there it will straightn your ass out. (fishin' in the bottom of the mason jar for a strawberry...

For Christmas I got a Hickey Sidewinder that I am planning on mounting in the rear. Here is a pic of one on the front of a series. http://www.pangolin4x4.com/pangolin4x4/reference/lib/winches/winches.html Its 8-9 k capacity and is worm driven. Its not the fastest thing in the world but I...

To be able to do Al with a mig machine you are going to need to get a spool gun and in order to get up to a machine big enough to do that you can for get lows or HD. Also spool guns are designed for at least 1/8 in thick but preferably thicker. I have one on my 400 amp hobart as well as a wire...

I am working on a rear winch too. Haven't decided on changing the rear cross member and bumper to mound it low or put in in the bed and change the tailgate. But when I start I'll put some pics up.

I started arc welding when I was 14. At 16 I started oxy/accet welding and cutting. Senior year of high school I was building a dune buggy and wanted a beer keg gas tank. But why pay for someone to put it together when I could do it myself. So I bought a tig machine and tought myself how to...

I'm a mechanical engineering student that is on year 4 and a half with at least another year and a half to go. I am also on my third school. But I'm not giving up on the major because I know its the only one for me. The main thing is to get the right school that fits you. The first school I...

Perches are only 25 bucks a pair.

If we go 350 then a 4 speed would go behind it to match as well as a different t-case. Therefore no more rover in the drive train and no more breakages or weak power.

Yea u-haul car trailer behind discos does mean less than 55 mph. We ended up doing the same thing when we picked up the beast from Ga to Va. it was a 14 hr run coming back. We now have built a car trailer to haul it on so cruzin 60 to 80 loaded is not a problem as well as a Chevy 3500 to pull...

I don't care about the gas mileage either I'm going for a submarine.

If you go Chevy six you should pick the torque back up. Personally if I do an engine swap I'm going to go diesel. Thats a sweet defender except I wouldn't have lifted it that way.

I like them but I have only gotten the truck up to 40 mph. But my truck is a trail only rig that hitches a ride to an event. The set gives about 25% power back with the 34s. With the 38s and running a stock 2.25 with crash box and t case it is going to be lacking on power because the gear...

Got to remember that most rover owners don't like to mod their trucks that much. If the beast was a crawler not a trail rig then I would be considering this type of axle.
