Had to replace the steering box because the old one was popping

 

Decided to flex on my daily driver for the heck of it

 

Wow man, you've been hard at it!

 

Lol indeed.

I just finished up the shaft that go in between the 231 and 300. I will post pictures up tonight

 

Nice... yeah you've been busy with both projects. I don't know how you do it, I can't even keep up with one!

 

So today I was able to come in work early and got started on my intermediate shaft that goes in between the 231 and 300.

I cut a portion of the 231 shaft where it goes in the mode hub, and a portion of the aw4 tail shaft.









Machined the 231 shaft and then bored out the hole in middle of it to accept the aw4 shaft.

Pressed it in lightly









Laid some tack welds then preheated it to 450 degrees





Put it on the turntable and did two passes














Post heated it to 500 degrees then out in the oven to cool down slowly for 6 hours.
Then sandblasted it and polished the bearing contact surface at bottom of the shaft

 

Wow awesome..... wish you made a second for me
Have you sorted the shifter for the doubler?

 

No. I plan to build shifters after installing it on the jeep. Would need three shifters

I plan to make a doubler kit to sell later this year

 

You sir are a gifted machinist and welder. Come up to NY and do my 2x6 rockers for me

 

Very nice craftsmanship right there, looks awesome!

 

Wow man.. I'm in awe... dude what kind of oven is that?

 

So today I got the jeep cleaned up, packed and all gassed up for a trip to Rausch for tomorrow.

I noticed I forgot to extend my rear diff breather hose.... So I decided to zip tie it on my shock so it won't whipping around. Haha










I ll eventually run it up to the taillight area or something later.

 

just plain ol' Lucifier electric furnace. Lol it's capable of 2200 degrees

 

I have been looking for a doubler shaft for a while and thought about doing a splice. Very cool! I hope it works. Did you E70S-2?

 

Nope used 312 stainless steel rod
