no oil comes out of your valve cover breather? usually they are mounted slightly higher so the oil can drip back in and oil doesn't drip out  _________________ If life seems under control yer not going fast enough. http://www.cardomain.com/id/meanbgreen |

Got the 5.12's installed into the front diff, reinstall the front diff. Need to fill it up with gear lube, buy a few bolts for shackles, and driveshafts and then I can test her out. _________________ Free to list! Free to sell!

Well tracker rear is 100% in, front is in with 5.12 gears. I still have a few small things to do before I can drive it down road or go wheeling but at least its finally very close.
I have to say I cant believe how much difference the 5.12's are. I have had a samurai with 4.62's but man before I fixed the carb I was about to die in my yard I hit the gas let out the clutch and the front wheels came off the ground.... Not sure how major wheeling will go but the little bit I drove around my yard I can say 5.12's rock!
and the annual photos of my rig on the zuknation.net rocks of course

Those rocker panels bring a tear to my eyes. Please get some rock sliders before any serious wheeling. _________________

Today it was cold out... she wouldnt start but I had to prime it because I have very, very little gas in the tank.
Also after sitting so long she is going to need some running to burn out those carbon buildups and stuff. I drove it around the yard again, and then down the dirt road 1/4 mile had it up to 4th seemed to run pretty good. I'll let her idle in the drive for 10-15, and will try to start her alot this winter. _________________ Free to list! Free to sell!

I really havent road tested but down my dirtroad and in 4low around my 5acres. No bad vibs that I can tell, I did use my rear samurai driveshaft but I will need to get a spacer before I can really go crazy with it. If you set your rear pinion angle you wont have much for vibs.
Come spring I will replace the old rusty u-joints. _________________ Free to list! Free to sell!
