so.. in his haist, my dad miscounted the splines on the vibration damper for the steering box. and the u joint is now painted cummins beige. no returns on painted items, so if any of y'all need a
3/4" DD x 3/4" 36 spline borgeson vibration damper ujoint.. let me know.

i guess i should have known that it was 30 since it's off a FSJ.. but he was at the house and i in NYC and said it was the same as what came off originally.

either way.. part is in hand and never used. just painted.

swbhobie16 · « **Reply #651 on:** November 13, 2016, 11:23:04 AM »

on second thought, the 3/4" 36 spline fits the first gens steering box (i believe) just not sure about the shaft size of the steering rod. if it's 3/4", i can make it a 3/4"DD and put the damper on the end and call it a day.

can anyone with a 1st gen confirm that for me? (still out of town.. but it seems as if the steering box is 3/4" 36 spline)

FINALLY got the cole hersee lockout solenoid in the mail and talked my dad through how to hook it up. with a momentary 12V pulse, it locks. and the next pulse unlocks it. flawless.

Lettin it breath a little. Those tire almost do look to small, maybe its from sitting down in the trailer.

swbhobie16 · « **Reply #656 on:** November 20, 2016, 10:15:09 PM »

they're definitely too small. those are worn out 36s. measure out to about 35". it needs hummer 37s or even some toyo open country MT 40s 8) hahah

first, i want to get it wired and running down the road at a decent clip (40ish lol) then comes tires..

stay tuned..

swbhobie16 · « **Reply #657 on:** November 21, 2016, 06:54:50 PM »

started on the wiring today. got the headlights (hi/lo) wired. rear running lights (halo, like the dodge) and turn signals (correct flasher will be in tmrw to confirm operation) the front halo running lights/turn signals don't work as of yet bc the harness itself from the factory doesn't seem to be wired correctly. so, going to see about getting them swapped out for an operational one. it going to run rear cab running lights (3 centers) and the 2 outsides tomorrow, with the outer ones being run through a tailight converter so as to function as running and turn signals (same with the front 2 over the jumper cable cam loks) and do the reverse lights as well. then it's hood light, light bar and rear work light along with trans switches. may even get it down the road a bit tomorrow. who knows!!

swbhobie16 · « **Reply #658 on:** November 23, 2016, 06:04:53 AM »

alittle preview of today's work. doesn't look like much. the taillights are operational as well.. but without a stop switch (just on a master kill, dukes of hazard style.. hahah)

cab corner run/turn lights are next. then reverse and aux work lights. then trans OD and LU and heater. might take it down the road to see if it shifts at least through a couple gears today. haha

I've got about 100k snow geese out here in the Skagit valley I could use a hand with. puddle ducks are way out in the bays with the warmer weather, but once it gets nice and cold they'll start in on the harvested corn and wheat fields.

quick update while we await the arrival of the front axle shims

identical dimensions to the original, without the 3/8" rod covering where the grill is and out of slightly heavier material. just mocked up for now.. needs some mounting tabs and some black paint to finish it out.

swbhobie16 · « **Reply #683 on:** January 04, 2017, 09:53:01 PM »

the issue now is.. a rather substantial trans fluid leak. between the trans and tcase, in what should be an empty void in the adapter.

we machined down the coupler from the output shaft is the 47rh to the input of the NP205 and the guy told us he chucked the outside of the coupler, not the interior/spline/rotational center of it and it's off by .010".. which either worn out an already tired seal or torn/knicked it going in. either way, it's coming out of there pretty steadily..

so.. tcase has to come off and get the other end of the coupler turned down chucked on the inside and replace the 47rh output seal. what's another days worth of labor.. huh? hahah

i still need to correctly adjust the TV cable. it's shifting from 1-2 around 6-9 mph (guessing) then immediately into 3rd. like.. immediately. fairly certain it's not tight enough.. but how tight is too tight? still need to mount the OD and LU switches (they're wired, just not mounted) and then fix the leak, then test the last 2 trans switches.

if i'm thinking correctly, 1st should run to maybe 10-12 mph, then 2nd to 20ish, and 3rd to whenever he decides to hit OD (maybe 40) then LU after that.

do those 1-3 numbers sound like a good goal?

also.. definitely need tires. (not that i didn't already know that..) but the front pass tire is 'wobbling' 1/4"-5/16" (measured from a fixed point in the shop to side wall of the tire) so yea.. hahaha

cj7ox · « **Reply #684 on:** January 05, 2017, 09:45:26 AM »

But, it runs and moves down the road under its own power! Nice!

swbhobie16 · « **Reply #685 on:** January 07, 2017, 05:53:51 AM »

that it does. first things first.. will be addressing the trans leak. my suspicion is either A:coupler was machined down by chucking the outside and not inside (causing .010" wobble) and leaking past or
B: (and more likely given the amount and flow rate of leak) the coupler wasn't machines far enough down the exterior, allowing the shoulder to come forward until the trans output shaft hit the snap ring inside the coupler which could have eaten the lip of the seal.. causing massive damage to sealing surface. just have to get in there and figure it out.

swbhobie16 · « **Reply #688 on:** January 12, 2017, 11:16:07 PM »

man i like that. seems as if i ran across that awhile back.. but never saved it. i think once we are able to get it speed, no wobbles. decent tires. and minimal to no leaks, that will be a 'must have' for daily driving.

swbhobie16 · « **Reply #689 on:** February 12, 2017, 07:47:58 AM »

did alittle detail work on the kaiser the other day

35% ceramic tint

before worklight had headlight tint applied (like the polaris)

and after

hoodlight (started out as same as rear work light color)

the lightbar will get the same window tint as the worklight and 4wheeler lights once i return.

we also set the TV cable, but later realized that the ppump injection pump throttle bracket and lever weren't set to factor spec before we started adjusting the TV cable. so.. i have to set the accel pivot stud to back of bracket where the cable comes through to 5" (currently at 5.25") which is throwing the TV cable off and not allowing me to get full travel from it/high/hard enough shift points either..

rear metal panel/glass.
window to b pillar metal corners. to close the cab up.
windshield epoxied and Z channeled on. (new glass cut, what's there is just lexan).
alignment
i want to put a deep trans pan on/fluid flush and band adjustment at the trans shop
OD and LU switches mounted.
heater hooked to 12 volt switched (already installed and proven to work)
heater ducts run (1 to a manifold in the console under the dash to act as floor heat. and another duct
run to the defroster/driver side dash vent for driver head heat.) i believe the heater will smoke you
out of the single cab, bit id like to have at least one duct to blow on your chest/head on driver side
brake light switch installed (currently on a toggle. lol)
dyna mat inside of doors/center console to kill a lot of rattle/clank when shutting doors and shifting
gears

most recent pic. brush guard painted and on. front shocks installed and according to my dad 'made a huge difference'. well no kidding.. considering it was just leaf springs before. lol.

needs trans bands adjusted. fluid flushed and replaced when we put the deep B&M pan on it (will also be able to hook up trans temp gauge too) rear shocks. the last 2 trans switches mounted and a rear glass/metal panel. along with some sound deadening in the doors, dash and console.
