Now thats how you pull the front axle.
Nice work
Pulled the front axle heck, he left the front axle and pulled the rest of the truck! Reminds me of Joseph (Westfolk) when he does a transfer case. He stands it up on blocks and lower the truck around it with one of his "He Man" excavators!

Gimpy just won't listen. I tried to tell him spending that pittance of cash on the wrecker was a waste of money!

Why not just lay her on her side for easy access and fix the rascal?rofl

Well, I tried that first. For some reason, the axle wouldn't come out. That dirt in there is from the one year old axle boot that ripped open 4 months ago! Someone needs to make a danged axle boot worth a darn! I pressure washed the housing and will be putting the new(used) center chunk in tomorrow morning. Then new seals re-pack bearings, new wheel cyls, brake pads, etc. Hope to be ready for Tuesday's noon departure schedule. Still need to pick up trailers and fuel and pack some beer.

Thats one of Crusher's neighbors Spencer. He just got off work and knew what I was doing. Stopped by for moral support and to let me know he had some "fuel" for me. Be careful, he is a member here, just doesn't own a truck... YET!

Gimpy, are you bringing a tote with fuel? I have my truck topped off, 100 gallon transfer tank topped off and 55 gallons in Jerry cans. Leaving with 205 gallons. Was going to put the M275A2 tank across the front of the bed but ran short on time.

Looks like it. I really would like to get my 200gal fuel tank installed sometime, but doubt it will happen for this trip.

I put my transfer tank in where the welder was on the SECM trailer. It fits like a glove! Dam cool! Get that thing back together tomorrow.
