Yeah, that storm is heading our way. Hope we dont lose anymore trees. On the bright side, my grass seed needs the extra water.

My FJ40 project quit Pulling itself the other day. I finally found the rear end noise and figured out why it was parked 20 years ago.

That car was incredible. I cannot believe how much money and time he spent on it. Literally built it from the ground up.

2 things:
1) MotorTrend called Mike, "Mike Lynwood".
2) See? A clone car is just fine for a swap like this.

They needed something. I ended up just swapping out the third member with a good used one. Should last another 55 years
Seen a bunch of weird stuff in a rear diff before, but that's a first for me..

Had a few spider gear pin bolts break or back out, but never all the ring gear bolts..

Had one spider pin fall out in 8.8 Bronco while i was pulling away from a stop sign. It stopped abruptly. I knew what it was soon as I backed up one wheel turn. But I was plumb sideways in middle of a major highway, and next move was 4x4 low and side stepped it. While it cleared that issue, it also removed the C clips holding the axles in. Luckily I only needed to make it one mile up the road. Looked like a Bronco dually when I pulled into the shop... lol
