Gazzo's Down-under CJ thread

ImageUploadedByTapatalk1391862046.280717.jpg

Just sayin'

:D

Gazzo, sorry for all the hijacking but all it means is that we think your Jeeps are so cool that we are ready to figure out how to come party with them and you with our Scramblers. :thumbsup:

I'm thinking it might have been the BBQ photo that did the trick ;)
 
Crazy catching up on my own thread. Keep hijacking, that's no problem, I enjoy the conversation. Was sure I had posted up on my CJ10. I'll have to check that out.
You guys are all a bunch of nutcases :thumbsup: means I'm in good company. Jeeping in australia? in the words of John Travolta in Pulp Fiction: "you'd dig it the most!" Seems we all have some good things that each other would like to get to.
You know, wm69 mentioned you blokes might be able to help out with a direction on a bearing master kit for the rear Dana60 in my truck. It's all bad and I've been trying to source a whole kit but not having much luck. 84 CJ10 with all Cherokee gear underneath. The diff has what I think is traclok LSD. I've tried Summit, Quadratec and Morris but can't be sure I'm going to get the right kit, any ideas? The other thing with that is brands. I'm not sure if there are any I should stay away from or lean towards.<a href="http://s1060.photobucket.com/user/garyspecialsauce/media/IMG_6005_zpsbc957a27.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1060.photobucket.com/albums/t443/garyspecialsauce/IMG_6005_zpsbc957a27.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo IMG_6005_zpsbc957a27.jpg"/></a>
 
I really NEED a CJ-10 truck. :wave:

Do you need a bearing set for the DANA 60 or the stock Cherokee Model 35? Timkin bearings are far and away the best.

Hey there Mr B. I need the full kit for the Dana 60. This thing has a 60 in back and 44 in front. Bloody great lump of cast iron. Slight difference from the AMC20s I'm used to looking at in my other Jeeps.

Let me see what I can do for you. :wave:
 
What gear ratio do you have? :wave:
 
If its the fully floating axle like on the FSJs then cant you strip it down and get the numbers of the bearings and caps and see your local bearing stockist?. If its the semifloating D44 style with the metal ring that holds the bearing on then it could well be a parcel from overseas time:D
 
Hey guys. It's a semi. I've priced all the bearings locally, wait for it, 500 bucks!!!! This is why I'm sourcing USA stock.

So today I got some CJ10 time in. Pulled the seats to see what the floor had for me. Not bad. One "heel" patch but generally all good with only a few small perforations.

Progress! Looks to be in good shape. Work, Work Work. :thumbsup: :wave:
 
For sure progress! Here's where I'm at: I have a Cherokee prolly 79 or 80 coming on Wednesday. From that I'll get a set of waggies, chassis (mines rusted near the tank), hand brake cable, possibly 4 barrel manifold and maybe carb, back springs (mine are both bent to the left for whatever reason), numerous other bits.

Yesterday was amazing, further to what I've said before I got in touch with the owners of the station where this is

and she said I could come and get it! The tub off this will go together with some CJ8 fenders and front clip and go onto a spare CJ8 chassis. Then we will make a flat bed for the back. Crikey I know I am repeating myself but what the ...

Anyway today I got to do some dune work with my boy

Great day for it. Jumped in the sea too. It's autumn now so cooling down a bit. Pretty fresh.
Now I'm going to go back and read this thread so I can hopefully stop saying the same crap over and over. Sorry folks
