I've broken about 3 or 4 Crown & pinions in my rear 8"rd now Ben, so you're not exclusive there ;) However mine is 5.29 instead of the stock 4.88, so one less tooth on the Pinion i believe.. Word on the internet is that crown/pinion is the weak spot in these axles, and that seems to be true...

Yes, that's an 2L-T engine, recognize it as i had one in my Lj70 before the rebuild.. And the Electric pump i think was introduced with the new bodystyle (94?)

Nice job! I know that feel of the first start-up after several years of building, it's awesome! (Btw, isn't Ben starting to sound like an Aussie when speaking? :lol: )

Thanks! Im guessing you mean the antirock.. Well, taking turns it would roll the body over very easily, or if you were out in the field climbing it would also "fall over" on the side pretty easily.. Could probably be that i'd need more oil in the shocks, but i decided on an antirock anyway...

Guess an update might be overdue? Hmm, Okay then.. I'm not gonna do a complete write-up since April, because that'd be a goddamn 3 hour movie, with all the shit i've dealt with.. :lol: Anyhow, i have done a couple of test drives earlier, and suspension was funky, so bought me a Currie...

Ok, so remember how i told you guys last week about a roadtrip? Well, here's the reason! 2019-04-06 11.34.02 by Vc1r, on Flickr Got me a new transport, since i want to see more of offroadSweden and take the new build with me, and having a place with me all the time to sleep in makes things more...

Well, since that gearbox STILL was pissing ATF fluids i decided it was time for it to find a fuck to fly off with and buy another one.. So got me a specimen from a newer Sprinter van this time, complete with converter, that has been sitting behind an Om602 for about 350.000 kms. 2019-03-27...

Yeah, i guess! It's pretty frustrating at times though! Also, Back on square one! Everything back together and all seem to be holding up! Pump in place again with a new bushing and seal! 2019-03-15 13.40.52 by Vc1r, on Flickr The torque conv. i got, too big! :puke-front::eusa-liar: 2019-03-15...

Thanks!! Well, last weekend everything that could go wrong pretty much went wrong.. I had one simple objective with that weekend, and that was to start it up and get a small test drive on the driveway.. Well, that didnt happen.. Motor oil leak, then a diesel leak at the injectors (Bad return...

Nice write-up.. But how come you havent fitted electrical fans yet, with a button/switch to turn them off manually at watercrossings?

Bit of an update coming your way ;) Some maintenance before startup.. Had to make shute for the oil not to spill all over everything.. 2019-02-09 13.25.30 by Vc1r, on Flickr Gearbox is also drained, no pics though.. And onto hooking up batterys! 2019-02-15 16.38.52 by Vc1r, on Flickr...
