Oh snap.

I know right! If I had a crawl box I would be rocking a set of 39 TSLs that my uncle is waiting to sell me when I can turn them!

Did you put the stock pump in the plastic can, or did you find an external pump to use?

by Ty Thu May 29, 2014 2:49 am

I should have taken pictures as I put it together. The stock pumps fit perfect inside 3/4 brass nipple. I built a "T" put the rear pump in one end and the front in another. I put a 1/2" pneumatic hose connector in the 3rd end, then epoxied a fitting in the bottom of the bottle. The pumps are in front of my stock air box and the bottle is back by the ABS pump with a hose running between them. I'm sure that just confused you more!!!

by **Kevin** Thu May 29, 2014 3:00 am

No, I got it. Pretty cool. Does the stock pump use the washer fluid for cooling? Will it get burnt out sitting out in the open like that?

by Ty Thu May 29, 2014 3:04 am

I'm not sure how the first gen is but the 3rd gen has external pumps.

by **Kevin** Thu May 29, 2014 3:31 am

That makes it easy, huh? Nice job.

Yah really the hardest part was finding a bottle that would fit!!

So after a bad end to last week, I think I have some good news. I may have found a direct swap t-case on RME for $90. Thats even better than the $200 salvage yard ones!!!

I think there's someone on here that has experience swapping the 3rd gen cases...

by **Kevin** Wed Jun 04, 2014 7:42 am

Yeah, but you're one for three. That's not a very good success percentage. Laughing

by **dutchman** Wed Jun 04, 2014 9:00 am

In my eyes I'm 1 for 1. Not my fault the other two were broken.

by Ty Wed Jun 04, 2014 9:01 am

I will let you know if we feed help. My dad may have it done by the time I get a chance to get up there. Laughing

by Ty Sat Jun 07, 2014 12:39 am

Picked up a transfer case from an RME member yesterday!!!! Now to get time to get to Brigham and swap it. Who knows my dad may have it done by then anyway, he might have been more pissed about it breaking than I was.

by Ty Sat Jun 07, 2014 12:42 am

Even a bigger problem than my t-case though is, I gotta figure out how to get Andrews tires back to him and get my new wheels from AJ.

by Ty Thu Jun 12, 2014 5:59 am

I'm thinking this is how I'm going to remedy my axle wrap problem.

I could go with stiffer springs, but I think this will be easier and cheaper. I can get some tractor implement bars for cheap from my brother and the rest jut requires a welder!! The other option is a ladder bar, but I really don't want to weld anything to the axle if I'm going to be selling it to Kevin.

Word.

I've never seen one of these fixed to the spring perch like that, but it looks like it'll work just as well as one welded to the axle tube. I like it.

Yah, it looks super simple. I've read a little about them and some people swear by them. I don't see why it won't work.

Old T-case is out. Holy shit that was a bitch. Really only 2 bolts were a bitch.

His cage is laughably inadequate, but it's a good start. Let me know when we start cutting, Ty. Twisted Evil
