i just finally read through your whole build, well done! I like the axle build, i'm going to be doing one this winter. what kind of paint did you use and how is it holding up? i've had no luck with painting things on my truck, all of the rattle cans of rustoleum i've tried don't hold up for nothin

Sweet. Does it brush on pretty smooth? I've been thinking about using a self leveling epoxy paint for calipers on my axles and underbits, but your paint is cheaper.

Tested the cage this weekend. Not on purpose...
First pull pulled it back up onto the rock, we held it with the strap, repositioned winch to pull it back off the rock and up, and it went back on to all 4s. Self recovery. I wasnt driving, a buddy was while I was supposed to be getting a video, but I failed at that.
My fiance was in the back though. Took it like a champ, its not really her first roll over...
Lost a little oil, PS fluid, and antifreeze, but not enough to stop us, so we bush whacked for a few hours.
Heading to the off road park where I blew up the IFS diff in the beginning of august, I think Im ready!

Club ride this weekend at an off road park in NH, put some time in last night making sure the truck was ready. Greased the drive train, put a wrench on everything on the suspension, made sure all my recovery gear/tools were in order. I have a new PS belt to put on before I go, but that wont take long. Should be a fun trip!

Had a great weekend wheeling.
Came down this:
The truck died at the top of this one. No Idea why, fuel pump was on but was acting like it was out of gas. We started towing me out, and 50 ft down the trail I push the clutch ant turn the key and she idles like nothing ever happened. Weird. Wheel on!
I would have had this one but I got stuck on the.... torsion bard mount.. Dam IFS is still hanging me up. Hard to see, but the drivers fender is up against that rock, it kinda broke it off a little.
Different hung up spot.. Hmm, almost made it. Haha
Little winch action and away we go.
Shut the truck off again to watch the rest come through, and just like that, wouldnt start again. Towed it back to camp, and let it sit for a few hours, trying it every 20 min or so, and one time, it just came to life like nothing was wrong. Hmm.
Heres a link to the rest of the album, lots of cool terrain.. F And F August 2014 Photos by ediblecrayons03 | Photobucket
Truck did great. Have a few small things to fix, I cracked 2 welds on my bumper, some how got a leafspring clamp stuck between the 1st and 2nd leaf.., oh yeah, and this pesky little no start thing.

Whent wheelin over the weekend, but only snapped 2 pics of my truck. I need to remember to hand off my camera to other people.
I beat my random no start, by not shutting my truck off all day. Haha. When I stalled it it started right back up, I let it sit for 5 min mid day off, and it ran very poorly when it started back up. After we were done and I was back at the shop I let it sit and it didnt start. No CEL light on, but checked the codes anyway and got code 14, which is 'a loss of IGF signal between the ignitor and the computer for 6 events'. In other words, the computer expected a signal that the plugs were firing but couldn't tell they did 'fire' or 'spark' for 3 rotations of the crank (6 spark events). More importantly, it means that the computer, for whatever reason, did not detect a proper 'spark' and 'combustion' event for a long enough period of time to signal a serious problem.
We tested the coil per the FSM and found it was bad. Per the FSM circuit 1 has a max of 65, and this one was reading 78. circuit 2 was in range though. Ill get one tomorrow and swap it out.
I got hung up 5 min in..
And again here. Poor pic but I needed to winch out of it.
Heres a vid of 2 of the trails we made..
Also having some PS belt issues. The stock one is too big, even with the pump maxed out, there is still slack in the belt. The "stock per the parts store" is Gates P# 9480 and is 48 3/8" long. The counter guy suggested 9465 at 46 7/8" but couldn't get it over the pullys. quick google search brought me to gates belts list HERE (its a big list, page 11 right column) So I have a few other options to try. I think Ill try 9475 ad 1 inch smaller than the current belt.

My no stat is still lurking. Wheeled all day sunday, shut it off and started it a bunch, and only ones did it sputter when I started it. But it did start, and I tried my hardest to make it not start, but it did every time after. Huh.
I did find a correct ps belt. Gates P# 9476 and is 47 15/16 " long. Its a "hd" belt what ever that really means, but it fit perfect, and no more squeek.
Also finally upgraded the battery, went with a Diehard p4 group 34/78. I did some online research, all brands had both good and bad reviews.. so I just picked one to try. First impressions are this battery is awesome. Winching before with the stock battery/alt was a chore. Would have to rev the truck for a few seconds then dump the clutch and winch for a few seconds till it started to die, let it charge for a second then winch again. It was painful. Tested this one out by winching up a loose dirt hill on a slight off camber, about 60 feet long. The winch pulled the hard the whole way up. Very impressed, worth every penny.
Started the day by bad axle wrap taking out a rear drive shaft on a YJ. For some reason alt wouldnt charge and just spooling the winch out killed it enough to not turn over, so I came back down to give him a jump.

This sweet little sammy and 85 truck came too.

Little video from over the weekend.
So the truck will start every time, but after it been sitting hot will sputter a bit, you can hear it really well on one of the hill climbs. It will "blow out" after a minuet, and only does it when hot.
Rained all day on Sat took me and the samurai, both tied off to trees dual winching to get the heavy chevy out.
Havent wheeled with this guy in a few years, there pics of our 2 trucks on the early pages of the YT build thread, ifs wheelin on 33s. Haha.

Small up date. Brought the donor truck home. Its good to have friends with flatbeds. Will probably start on this once snow sets in.
And bushwacked for while. Almost rolled on a fun newer trail that ive only donw once., there was a very tippy feeling when we were only on two wheels. We all felt it, as we held our breath, but it dropped back down onto all 4 instead of the passenger side thankfully. Haha.
And the new project in the shop, my step dad picked up a 51 plymouth 2 door wagon to rat rod out.

Let me refer you to the first line of my chevy 63 swap thread.
Haha. Parts are parts and I want more power. Did I mention the truck was free?
It wont happen for a while. Im going to do t case gears first, which may solve my want for more power. So well see. Its a back up motor at this point I guess.
