eric113's Portal axle JK

[babristow]

Do you have any pictures of the internals of the portal axles?

You should have had this in Oklahoma. At least the trip motivated you to get working on it again.

Looking good. Glad to see those portals getting used.

Hell yeah, think of all the scale dynamite we could have cable tied to it.

I wish I had,seeing all the JK's out there did help. Next year I will have it out there. I don't have electronics. At the time my ex dumped me.... had to look for new place. Ran out of time wrenching before going.

Thank you for take me for short ride and let me drive the arctic cat. Now I want one bad!!!

Project for tonight. Finally got hardware for the R2J corner guards.







I also worked on the rear winch. Chino63 sent me one his winch shims tossed it on, along with Lockedup Rc 250lbs winch line. I need to order cone washers and hardware to finish it up.

I had some 4130 .250" .049" wall tubing left over, started to make links. Need to pick up more 8-32 set screws and rod ends

[2JSC]

Beefy links. What are you using to tap them? Chuck in a vice and go to town with a hand tap or a drill?

[Szczerba]

Great looking rig overall. Dunno how I missed this one!

Where do you get your supply? I've been finding it for like $7-8/ft...

[eric113]

Tonight's small project.. strung 20-25' of Lockedup Rc extreme 250lbs winch line.



I also finished up on my lower links. I used Traxxas flanged ball ends at the chassis. No more rattling links.

Lockedup Rc F.I. lockers. I gotta say I really them, for the super tight tolerances, but also they fit the stock ring gear.

When you say they have tight tolerences how tight do you mean? Because I received mine and I had to hammer the axle shafts in the lockers . That in itself is not that bad but the real question is how the hell am I going to get those axle shafts out of the locker . The rear is less of a problem because you can still change the bearings with the axle shafts in the locker. But the fron Axial CVD's need to be removed to acces the bearings front bearings .

Same with mine, I had to tap them in. What I found is that on the axle shafts... It curved part near the flats that need to be sanded down. I just kept test fitting and sanding till they easily slide in and out.

Hopefully this answers your question.
