Mikes Samurai build / use / fixing broken bits after abuse

[mike harris]

Axles in tried a wheel on to see what they look like

[mike harris]

Axles all in, brake pipes mad, brakes bleed.

Prop will be done next week.

Now just to service it, oils, rebuild front axle ECT.

Then go play in it, then 8274 on the front, twin batteries, more cage work.

Then a comp

And a rear winch !

Wow is it really that wide

That looks nuts mate

[mike harris]

They are wider from before, as the beadlock moves where the tyre sits. There about an inch wider, they used to bow in, now there bulging out !! Love them

[mike harris]

Just waiting for my phone to get some battery and il post up some more pics.

Forgot to put mounts for the brake lines on the axle casing, so had to improvise !!

Right !!

Productive day !!

My 8274 is now with Jim marsden at gigglepin to be rebuilt and upgraded

Diff and t-box oils have been changed.

Rear u bolts tightened and torqued, now the plan is to fit the rest of the wheels tyres beadlocks, bolt the dash back together.

Use it at awdc slab common

8274 back for Jim, fit that, mud monsters round 3.

Plan.
