thanks alot for the comments. this thing doesn't hold a candle to some of the other rigs on this site, but this is only number one of hopefully many. hey anyone ever strip teeth off of a ring gear in a tlt axle? |

Yup its pretty common unfortunately under alot of use. I high recommend bearings/good grease and a few have shimmed the pinion gear for a better mesh. If you do a search im sure youll find the thread on that. Hope that helps Mike | |

i think i'll try the soft top i have some clear lexan to make some windows if it works i'll make a rear support for the roof mount that comes up from the rear bumper. i'll post some pics when i make a little progress. working on a set of rock rings using the home depot conduit washers now. |
