and dropped off my thirds from marlin



they are 4cyl thirds w/5:29's, the front has a lockright and the rear is full detroit.

got the rear in.

i also did the rear brakes while i was in there. time for the front.

 

wow nice fun fun fun!!!!

 

Why must you rub this in our faces?


BTW those are friggin sweet!

 

sweet

 

wow the front is proving to be a major PITA but i got the shafts out far enough to take out the diff. using the camo method. hopefully this'll be done in an hour or so, i just got invited to a chics house warming party, with all her female co-workers going to be there.

 

I see UPS messed up again and you got my stuff


















what no paint

 

How hard was it to install these? Did you just have to pull the axles far enough to get the old third out and the new one in? Did you have to replace any of the seals?

Mine are getting ordered this week (hopefully)...

Success!!!



now time for testing.

 

im going to probably paint them tomorrow, this way i dont really have to mask anything. yeah just get the axles out far enough to remove the diff. i didnt have to replace any seals.

 

make sure to keep us updated on the testing. the pricing doesnt look to bad on those complete 3rd members.

 

It looks like there's those of us who owed this Tax year and then there's those of us who got a nice fat return.......


........Very nice 85Turbo. I am jealous. However, I have my own plan for upcoming axle upgrades!!!

the sooner you order the better. it took 3 weeks from the time i ordered these till they got to me.

 

I need to get one more paycheck under my belt before I can order. Friday here I come

 

i hope it wont take 3 weeks im in sothern california too.

 

CHA CHING!!! Damn those aren't cheap to buy complete like that.

 

just for you i painted them today.

 

got pics of the paint?

They aren't expensive for completely built. Tally up the price of all the parts, and it isn't that much in labor (plus you get the housing). I called a few shops aroung here and for me bringing them the parts it will be about 700-1000 in labor.

 

Ouch I paid $100 to have my rear third set up and that was at a shop.

 

Im still awaiting the big brown truck to come to my house....Wheres my stuff wabbit!!! lolol

 

i personally think that marlin's thirds are priced high...but if you need the housing, locker and everything in between, then it starts to look better. why does college take all my money???
