Finally got into the drum. Had to modify a socket to fit the spindle nut. Its not looking too pretty in there, but Im trying to find out what is causing it to keep locking up and having to adjust the screw...
Cant seem to find the right spindle nut socket for the rear hub... so a little frustrated. The prongs dont seem to fit, looks like I might have to modify it a bit.
Started tearing apart the driverside rear drum/hub to find out why it keeps locking up and needing the adjustment screw backed off constantly. Then going to do some PMCS and a little lube service. Hoping to take it to the Haspin Rally this year so I have my work cut out for me.
Hoping to have the M1008 down there this year. So tearing apart the driverside rear drum to see why it keeps locking up and why I have to constantly readjust it.
Nope. Definitely no MV needed or even a vehicle to wheel in. My two fall rally's all i had was my little ATV. Plus theres always an open seat in someone's truck. Its a pretty welcoming group of people and I always have a good time out there. So good luck and enjoy Dan!
Congrats to Sparky and Lindsay!
That being said I think I might actually be able to make the summer rally for once. Fall rally is always great but I hear the summer rally is a bit more impressive.
Was this one of the HMMWV's that came out of eastern surplus a while back from the Generation Kill show? Just curious as the pant looks like the same pattern under the black.
Well I for one am glad to see this even as a possibility. I look forward to a few more hopefully not going to the shredder. If Im lucky some day I can own one.
Just out of curiosity. How big is it? Also good luck with the new M1008, I still like the one I bought off you a while back.
Looking for front wheel wells for the M1008. Or I may just get brave and try patching the rust holes in there.
Looks great Sparky! Did Lindsay make that one? Im definitely in for a large. Just let me know how much the final price is and where to send the money. Thanks for you guys putting the shirts together again!
Djones and INcountryboy thanks for the tip and update. Last time I went down there I thought Id be smart save some time and take a detour... came into laurel on some county road from the west... it was an adventure to say the least and I was a little amazed they had pavement on some of the...
Not much of an update here, I git a few new gauges movkex up but not fully installed. Dug out a ton of part number that ill ad to the list above in a day or three. Going to pull the tank on the green one on monday and startwashing it out. Going to look at pulling my welder out and fabbing up a...
Atv is good to go M1008 is a little questionable...
Forgot to ask, is there still a detour on 52 (Brookeville rd) from indianapolis? I think it was supposed to be somewhere around rushville.
