Good to hear hopefully it stays that way. I'm watching the radar and hoping it skirts by you guys.

Heads up theyre expecting some nasty weather tonight, severe thunderstorms and straight line winds. Be safe guys.

The M1008 probably isnt going to make it. :( I dont think i put the wheel bearings and spindle nuts in right. Hub gets pretty hot and i smell burning grease and see a hint of smoke.

Hope so... That tie-rod is really in there though. Just like the tapered screw on the steering stabilizer was, I ended up cutted that to get a breaker bar on it, I cant stick my trusty breaker bar on these :cry: No one seems to have the right tool. The pitman arm pullers I bought wont work both...

:evil: Not Happy. Jeep just had the power steering pump let go and the m1008 is still down (can't get the tie-rod and steering arm off). So unless I can get one or both by then... I'm probably out. I wont be sleeping until monday morning if I have to just to get the vehicles road ready again. I...

Well finally making headway with the kingpins. I swear I'm one of the slowest wrenches on the planet but I think I will have them done in time. Got the driverside hub/rotor off so far. Hopefully axle shaft and knuckle in the next day or two and kingpin this weekend. The passenger side should go...

Well big thanks to 2002ford for suggesting a way to test the transmission on the M1008. I dont have a transmission issue. Id say Im about 75% ready. Im going to start on the king pins in a bit and that should put me at 95% ready.

Cookies would be great!

swbradley, Good to hear you got another one. I may be getting another ATV too, but time will tell.

Need to test drive to check vacuum line replacement Gen 2 issue is still bugging me but not a huge issue (someone will have slave cables right?) King pin repair should start tomorrow God willing I will do it right the first time Still have to order and install a civi trailer hitch Zerks get...

Still have a lot to do Sparky... Glad its close and angry its sneaking up so fast and my truck isnt road ready at the moment.

*Too many thread windows up so I made a post in the wrong spot... Still working on the M1008, may be getting a M1101 (or possibly a M101A2) to go with it but we shall see.

gungearz, Depending on if my better half goes I may have a couple extra folding chairs so long as they dont walk off I'm happy to let someone borrow them. sirmrtow, Good to know, I'm not sure when I'll be heading down, friday or saturday. But I figured maybe we can get a small convoy going...

Just curious, is anyone planning on going through Indianapolis on Friday or Saturday for the rally?

Oh Gen 2 light... why wont you work... Lidsay, Im good with cookies. Depending what day I come down (and if the truck i going) my significant other may be bringing some cupcakes or brownies.

I think I may have my trans issue fixed (crossing my fingers). Need to fix the dang king pins... the M1008 might make it after all.

Matt, Nope. New alternator should be here tomorrow and hopefully it wont be defective. After that all I need to do is finish off the king pins, fix the transmission, I think I can live with the oil leak for the moment. Clean and lube it all and hopefully thatll do it.

Managed to crack the Gen 2 alternator during a rebuild.... So just ordered a replacement. Off to inspect the vacuum lines on the transmission... and maybe I'll find some good news and just have to replace that short little vacuum hose to get the transmission to work right.

Well Sparky, dont count on my CUCV rising up anytime soon lol. But looks like Im doing an alternator rebuild on Tuesday. Maybe Ill get lucky and itll solve the electrical issue.

Sounds good to me, like I said I'd like to learn a few things when I can and when we aren't hitting the trails.
