JFuller Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Had a great time with everyone even though I didn't make it far. Disco is all fixed up. The long side inner shaft broke right at the cv. I worked on it for about three hours. Over an hour was spent making phone calls to local parts dealers in a failed attempt to find a replacement swivel ball seal. Call carquest in Orangevale if you're east of Sacramento. At least they can find it but it will take a day to get it. Maybe you could get RoverWare to overnight you one. Or just be sure you have all the parts before you start. Come to think of it, that last one seems like the best plan. Also if you ever find yourself in this situation be cautious. The broken axle bits can be very sharp. I got a decent cut straight through my gloves. Hope everyone enjoyed the game. Don is the best driver with his eyes closed, not sure if that's something to be proud of or not. Either way he won some bragging rights. And we won't even get into Tim's performance especially compared to his son Will. I didn't take any pictures. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I had a blast but only mad it as far as the parking lot as we had a baseball game...Took some pictures and really enjoyed my future inspiration in Don's truck! Had always been interested in the chopped discos and now it's definitely a plan!!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170403/9458a5a4af6664e67f3aa9e1f5202585.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170403/96e86aeb6773384da9a331bfb4c756c9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170403/8b1d1a8edc33cd1a51ab3264217af8a6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170403/7d3b2620d6d441b90865cdb2308b83fd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170403/89f99807d3a425e2d85ed3df48f2d8f8.jpg Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHappel Posted April 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Hey, is that last pic of me coming down the same spot where Justin got stuck going up? Looks roughly the same but hard to tell. oh, no it's not now that I look closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks roughly the same but hard to tell. <edit>oh, no it's not now that I look closer.Same general area. if you look a little to the right, after the patch of green grass you see the dirt, that's where it happened. From what I remember both of those wash outs looked just as equally rough. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason, RoverWare.US has them in stock, just not on the website (like about 1000 other parts!). Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
