Re: Fat Fab and Mogfest

I hope the ones that are getting sold have been going into good hands. The popularity and reputation of the brand will come into question if the units aren't cared for and end up parts trucks.

Re: Fat Fab and Mogfest

The Economy is tough out there. I haven't had enough interest (or deposits) to make the run out to Mogfest this year. Maybe next year.

Thank you to those who did show interest. Sorry you will have to wait till next year or pay for shipping.

Anyone interested in a Lone Star Treffen?

My mobile fab/repair/ recovery truck for touring the Public lands of the south west on weekends. My plans were to make the roof rack hinged to dro...

Re: A leaking front boot question

There were a few contributing factors to that former Red Bull Carnage. 1 tires had not been aired down. 2 oversized tires 3 more power. when the front tire was on an obsticle, the tire wedged itself hard against the sheet metal pan under the seat. When power was applied (via low range, 1st gear), th...

Re: A leaking front boot question

too scary for me to hang out and help. I would have left as soon as I had seen the proposed strut compressor.

Re: 2012 Mogfest - are we there yet ?! :-)

I won't need to. Got a buddy in Indio that will let me use his. We'll get it done right.

Speaking of which, Anyone wanting something built for mogfest should get their deposits in to me before the 15th of this month. I will repost this in the general section as well.

Re: A leaking front boot question

I can testify to the failure of the locator pin/bolt to keep the axle from spining on the stub shaft. I clean the stub shaft as to remove any rust/debris and reassemble dry. If the porta-power is used correctly, it wont cause any damage when removing. I install the axle end with a wedge and a lever.

Re: A leaking front boot question

if you expect the o ring to be replaced without cutting. the axle end will have to come off. If its the front axle, have fun compressing and re installing the spring. :roll:
