Tworley build

[tworley]

I might be getting ahead of myself now, but I have new parts from 4low parts on their way. Anyone care to guess?

 

[jjvw]

Are they orange?

A little more left of the color spectrum, for the box anyway.

Bit the bullet. 5.13s from RG&A.

Mine arrived yesterday. The cat didn't care.

Now to hide them from my wife...

That was going to be my guess! I just wasn’t sure what gearing you already had. Did you get them REM finished or just normal?

 

[tworley]

I thought real long and hard on motive. Then I found out they dont make 5.13s for the Dana 30.

4.56 currently. They're ok. Ever since the jump to 35s Ive noticed I am in 4th far more often.

They worked well enough last time and I got this 4.88 set for less than RGA. If I recall, 5.13/35s should put your rpms just below mine with 33s. It will be pretty nice!

Standard, and I believe RG&A, are the only ones available for my application. I don't know enough about Standard.

Slightly below you sounds right considering our setups. I think I'll enjoy it!

Just the normal set. I actually completely forgot about the REM finished ones:BangHead:

Are you and @jjvw going to install yourself?

We've got a buddy who's installed countless ARBs. I was there when he geared my rear to 4.56 asking questions and learning what I could. I'll have him do these too and I'll try to learn and help again. I imagine Josh would be interested in watching the gearing process as well

Ol bessey here who's first job was a failed attempt at a ujoint replacement.

This vise is no Wilton, but for what I do I think it will be more than enough

It's always good to see this stuff in person.

Not Jeep related, but check it out! My wife's family had a Chevy dealership back in the day. One is headed to the garage, the other will find itself in the house somewhere. Both work!

 

[jjvw]

Very nice! Late 50s-early 60s, I'll guess. Do they make a buzzing sound?

From the research I've done 40s-50s era. I'm not sure on buzzing, she sent me the picture and I'm excited to see them tomorrow. Relics for sure

I just noticed they are from Thermopolis!
