No, we hit a little speed bump last weekend. Jim came down with a bad batch of something so he was out of commision on the weekend and then on Monday his neck made some bad sounds and now he can't turn his head.
....Needless to say he didn't get the crossmember done. He's hoping to get back on it this weekend....At the very least I could do the work as he instructed so we keep things rolling. He ordered my stub shaft parts, all Spicer with HD u-joints.
Last weekend I painted all the front axle, steering and suspension under the truck. I also installed the clutch inspection plate (had a broken bolt in the BH I had to remove), I re-bleed the clutch and checked the freeplay. So basically I'm waiting on the t-case crossmember. I'm just about out of little things that need to be finished....I've been killing time working on a $150 Ski-doo Elan 250 single that I bought on Monday from a co-worker. I finally got it running tonight....It's rough but worth fixing up for a few romps through the trails...Some paint, a few parts, minor rust repair and some general TLC will yield a fun little machine.

...Simplicity at it's finest and 30-40mph on a sled is all I want to go.
.....We are supposed to be mounting the t-case in the truck tommorow night and fabricating the trans crossmember as well. If it goes according to plan I should have it ready for a test drive Wednesday or Thursday. I needed a CV style yoke for the front shaft to fit the 205, luckily I found what appears to be the right one on the 203 that I just bought.
I need all the help I can get....
...Gives me a reason to get the F250 back on the road.
