Don't have a pic of the whole car, but she's up on stands in the garage for the next couple days at least. Pretty sure when you build a rearend, you're supposed to locktite the ring gear bolts :ayfkm:
Drove the car all the way from McDonough yesterday, all day today no problem. On the way home from work the rearend started making all kinds of clunking noises and jerking the car a little. Limped her home, put her up on stands and popped off the diff cover and this is what I see.
ALL of them were loose/backing out. 4 had actually come all the way out and were bouncing around in the rearend, took out some small pieces of a couple teeth on the ring gear, the pinion gear, and the carrier. For the time being, gonna buy some new ring gear bolts, throw em in and fill her up with new fluids. See how she does, hoping I can rock it like that for a month or 2 till I can have the whole rearend rebuilt. Otherwise I've gotta go back to the flying banana for a while

Sucks man, hopefully it'll hold together until you can get it rebuilt.
Needs moar leveled/non-sagging front bumper :crazy:
picture an empty driveway...that's how mine sets. I haven't heard anything back from the guy with my truck.
Thanks man. As soon as i get some of my personal crap out of the way i plan on starting to work on the truck a little bit.
Good deal, that personal crap can damper all plans. Good luck with everything, still need to grab that beer.
Hasn't been washed since before memorial day =[
Mine hasn't been fully washed since march, just spray most of the dirt off with a hose, getting done today though
