Figures, 2 weeks before Moab and I find that the blown
lower radiator hose I had 9-10 Months ago, caused a
blown head gasket, probably got worse from the turbo
and all the tuning I've been doing.

More to fix  

and I need to build a Slip Yoke Eliminator too, driveline is
not happy with the Slip Yoke hanging out 3 Inches, maybe
more, *sigh* well at least I have some jobs comming Monday
that should cover me getting to Moab

Moab Or Bust !!!

I'm going, I'll fix it or if it doesn't give me too much
trouble this next few days I might drive it as is, I should
fix it, it's only a one day job at worst, depends on the
time I have.

Got the rear gears in, really low with 30s on there, I have to
build my Slip Yoke Eliminator in the next day or two, the long
rear springs make the slip yoke viberate bad, can't make the
trip with it like that.

Moab or Bust !!

Why is the driveshaft hanging out so far? Can you add a 1 inch driveline spacer? If you make a slipyoke eliminator will you be able to use this 4 to 1 case I was going to borrow you?

I wasn't sure if you had the room for that and all the
other stuff that you were going to bring.

If I go to SYE we will have to drill and tap the output shaft
on the T-case, I have not done it yet, but I've been meaning
to get it done for a while now.

I'll show you how to do yours if you want, it's an easy do
if you want the SYE for your rig too, BTW it can be run with
the normal Slip Yoke too, so I would just need to drop the
new driveline and put in an old one.

I don't need a SYE but the vibration will cause problems
over a 800 mile trip.

You could modify your output shaft and I can still use
the SYE driveline with your T-case too, hmm so many
things to go tho.

Let my know.

If your gonna be around and have time, I can show you the
trucklet and I might even be working on it then, I got to get
the front diff out and I still don't have a 26 spline long side
front axle, I might have LWB Sammy bring his to install when
I get to Moab  

Could get interesting these last few days before the takeoff.

Wild

hey that would be awesome to see ur trucklet =) show my friend to since he doesnt belive someone has a turbod one =)

pm where u live and ill see how close we are gunna be...i think i am driving anyway so ill just make my friend go tee hehe lol

I'll lend a hand if you need one. As you know it is a 10 to 15 min drive (depending on how many CHP are parked on I-10 ). I would like to see the turbo and talk zuk. I can't follow you to Moab. Family trip to Havasu for some watersking this year. But next year maybe we could start a So-Cal convoy.

Havasu is on the way to Moab
