Damn, I cant beleive i built this mog almost 5 years ago! ... It has been one of my most reliable, and alll time favorite rigs to drive. I am just now for the first time having to tear into it for repair. I was out running a few days ago and the rear diff was slipping.. Cracked open the axles and :shock: .... this is what 5 years of use looks like .... I am going to tear through this rig end to end and give it some much needed TLC .. its going to need it cause its got a new younger sibling joining the fleet that its going to have to contend with... (more on that later tho :mrgreen

Wow, you appear to have powdered gears. And I can't believe you made a set of bushings last five years!
Any current action shots of the Mog.

Now that you mention it and looking at my last post before reviving this thread i really never follwed up at all after the first run of this rig .. its been through a couple different suspension changes and updates to the drivetrain..
I will have to look for some more recent action shots.. its looks a bit different now ehem ... a bit more used that is
here is one from a while back

Fantastic mog bub. I love the detail you put into it. Only thing I would do is sand your sidewalls smooth. "thumbsup"

Awesome Mog. "thumbsup"
So where might this mud hole be? Near Lexington or Stevens Creek? I want to ruin my crawlers too. :ror:

Thanks for the comments! Sanding the sidewalls sounds like a good idea, i havent dont that on tires yet just wonder what i would be getting into.. the IMEX tires got a lot of text on em ...
Chino, yeah that shot was taken at lexingotn on the far side (tawords santa cruz) near the bridge / creek. We should cruise up there some time soon. i have found some awesome spots up there but the last few times have been hit or miss... really depends on the water level.
Here is a little progress..
cleaned all the gunk out of and replaced the output shafts and diffs in the axles, and swapped out the bushings for new bearings.
Also tore through the trans and rebuilt / cleaned / greased it and the disconect.
Also cleaned up the frame and fixed some wear on the front / rear fenders
I am not sure i am going to change a whole lot on the rig as I really liked the way it drove before.. just looking to breathe new life into an old trusty rig after a lot of miles ... "scale" miles of course :ror:

Nice, not too far. I'd definitely be interested on some scaling, seems like we have less and less scalers around here. Can't wait for the rain....
