Put handfuls of gravel in your diffs, drive around till you don't hear horrible noises anymore. Open diff, scoop out sand, replace diff and add another handful of gravel. :redneck:

So how many amps?
crash2
-Oh no I picked a side-
getting closer
Closer? I guess it would be a good time to bring up more parts and $$
How wide are your shop doors?

-Oh no I picked a side-
Not big enough for the BIG tire :redneck:
Ya--the belt issue hopefully is getting close--hope to have it done tommorow--get the correct length belt and go for more trouble shooting. The whole driver side bracket setup is almost totaly redone...
Keep your fingeres crossed :awesomework:

I'm sure you can tell by the superior fab work that the right side was all me.
Your right or---my right :redneck:
You are right....no arguement there.
Did you change the pump side or the alt side? I'm guessing the alt side, otherwise we have a serious problem with the feed lines to the pumps.
Passenger and drivers sides cannot be used as reference as I now vision my buggy right hand drive. Make sure to also switch the seats I want the wide one on the right side, and just the skinny pedal on the right...brakes will be passenger operated.

Ok the last # of days I have been poking at the belt issue. Well it took alot of work and time but here is what I came up with. I basicly scrapped the whole driver side bracketry except the plate on the head--which I removed all the old brackets off it...
Well here is the bracket that mounts to the head--which is the lower alt mount with a support tab..

So one thing I had mentioned--was the fact I was removing the tenioner and was going to make a manual adjustable setup--because my feeling was there is just too much load on the belt to make one work without alot of trial and error finding one that was strong enough. Plus room was an issue..
So here is what I came up with. Most of mounts to the top of the water pump--along with 2 supports down to the lower water pump bolts and one support back to the head bracket. To make it work I had to countersink the upper 2 mounting bolts(can see the holes below the pulley)
Now to make the pulley easily adjustable--I had to build a mechanism that pushed against the pulley(simular to how toyota does it). But this bracket was pretty tricky and took alot of time to do...

So on one of the last setups I took a belt measurement and ran into town. I got a # of belts (all non ribbed). Well I found one that fit nicely--actually tight to the point I had to loosen one of the steering pumps to get the belt to go over the ribs of the pulleys.
So I painted the brackets and installed them for the last time--and installed the belt and adjusted it to where I thought it should be...
So then the moment of truth--I fired it up and cranked the piss outa the steering and revved the motor--not a peep out of the belt :awesomework:
So at this point I decided to throw some tranny fluid in and the rear driveshaft.
I just had to :redneck:
