Guzzy Build

Without grill hoop. My thoughts.

I have a love of hood hoops after this one.

 

[Dewitt10jku]

No support for that grill or hood

Not looking to get beat up or anything but honestly I don't really care for any of them. And I can't put my finger on exactly why. But that's just me.

Yeah it does. I don't know what it is but they just don't make me feel warm and fuzzy. Don't get me wrong I'm sure they are top quality but. Something.

What is up with the fairlead bolt in crap on the driver's side. That would drive me nuts. I guess you will be modifying all of that for the winch. I am sure that is to handle multiple fairlead sizes, but it looks dumb.

For the right price, I wouldn't need to worry to much. They are just providing you a base on which you will build your bumper.

I'm going to be welding up the bolt on fairlead crap. I'm down to either the Grill Hoop stubby or the mid width with the one small hoop.

So, after the poker run, I think I have confirmed that its not the rear main seal or oil pan gasket. The oil coming out is still crystal clear. Looks like the front input seal on the transmission that I replaced, or the front input retainer is leaking. Time to tear it down. I forgot to grab that transmission jack back from @LBarr2002 last weekend....

Its not pink?

Its not pink?

Transmission has Redline MT90 in it, which looks just like 10w30 motor oil.

stubby with grill hoop is in production now. We shall see what it looks like when it arrives.

I will be sending it back in that case. But first posting it all over the internet.

 

[97TJGUZZY]

Well, it’s not the transmission leaking. That’s confirmed.

 

[97TJGUZZY]

I found that the oil pan gasket had a few small hair line cracks in it near the back corners, It didnt look like the rear main was the problem. I replaced the oil pan gasket and put a little bit of ultra black gasket maker on the 4 points of the oil pan this time that we left out last time.

I also trimmed the skid plate, as it tried to play can-opener with my front driveshaft at full droop.

While i had the slave cylinder out I found that it was leaking some too, I swear I gotta be getting close to the end. There isn’t much left to replace.

Famous last words...

Replaced the slave and master cylinder before work today, I’ll take it for a drive at lunch and see if it’s all back to good.
