repair work

[broncomatt]

As most of you know I stuck my eb, and as a result I broke the track bar mount at the frame. Unfortunetly the list of problems did not end there.
As a bi product of playing in the mud I decide to pressure wash all the mud off. A design flaw I had not thought of allowed water to flow directly into the vavle cover. Fortunetly I only ran it long enough to drive it into my shop.
The throttle cable also became bound up, combination of poor istilation and mud clogging the sheath.
I have put my spare throttle cable on, and I will probably upgrade to a Locar unit soon. I have drained the oil, blown out the oil cooler hoses, cooler and flushed them with brake clean and some fresh oil. I will run it with some fresh oil and change again. Just frustrated with my self for not forseing this.
I am going to use this as an opertunity to upgrade my ventilation system.
Inspired by looking a Dakar trucks for the last few weeks I am building an airbox for crank case, tranny, front diff, and eventuly the T-case.
The plastic box in the photo will have a plate bolted down with all the fittings on it. A stock air filter to keep it clean.
Bouncing my way threw the hole has realy reminded my how bad the body rot is on this tub. I will have to do some further inspection to my rear quarter pannel. I realy need to get started on my other tub.:popc1:
I found some more pics of my stuck, included are some pics of the diff cover I made. 1/2"square stock in between the two covers.
