miketomcat Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 This one was originally red with a black rim so not much better. The wheel is a mach 5 beadlock wheel this one has a clamp ring sandwiched between the outer rim and main wheel. The other 4 have the clamp ring welded to the main part of the wheel and it's just the outer rim that bolts on. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaghost Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 That's exactly what I meant I was looking from a handy gadget point of view not taking anything away from your wheels they look great fancying yellow for stuff on my portal project regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketomcat Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 Well that's the transfer box changed just need a test run now. The original ones input bearings have died. I'm planning to replace the bearings, gaskets and seals on the original one and keep it as a spare. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Sounds like a plan.... I have a TB and R380 for that very purpose here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 I have a spare engine, gear box (only fits the ibex though) and now a transfer box. Oh and steering box that will fit either the 110 or ibex. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 The wheel boxes in the back have an angle on them which does give more space but it means nothing sits on them. I want to be able to mount the fridge there for trips. Que some bent aluminium, rivets, a bungee and some bobbin's to locate the feet.

miketomcat Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 Finally managed to get a new windscreen cut this week. So out with the toughened screen in with a laminated replacement today. That should be safer and it better not leak with the amount of goo round it. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 Well the transfer box replacement hasn't been entirely smooth, Smooth being the operative word. After I changed the box I noticed a vibration between 40 and 50 mph. At first I thought uj but on further investigation I spotted an oscillation on the hand brake drum. Tonight I stripped it out and put a clock on the rear out put flange, sure enough something isn't right. Turns out the output shaft is bent, Lord knows how . Yes you can get the shaft out with the box in the car and no I probably shouldn't of done what I have. I didn't have time to strip the other box and I don't really want to in case this one fails. So out with some vee blocks and the clock, yep it's definitely bent. Of coarse I didn't mark the high spot and put it in my press I wouldn't do that would I . Anyway it's back together now and I'll test drive it on my way to work in the morning. Mike 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
