Mikes Samurai build / use / fixing broken bits after abuse
Re: Mikes Samurai build updated 17/05/13 :)
Mike, have you sourced bearings for the diff? I know Scott was after some for a diff rebuild, and I could obtain them considerably cheaper than anywhere else through a company at work if you want to let me know the bearing numbers.
Otherwise it's sounding good just lacking pictures!

It doesn't need bearings as the carrier just needs to come out.
Good to know though, sure il need some in the future.

That looks monstrous! It's got a Mad Max quality about it.
The looks like it's hampering the shorter truss a lot though.

There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

That will be fine !! Truss me !! Haha
Thing is the other sides solid, and there made of thick steel, the only way it will bend is if the welds break. Diff housing breaks up maybe or the knuckles them selves break.
