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 :)

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 :)

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.
