Camping isn't much easier..I noticed ALL the sites were filled up, even the remote ones. I ended up doing a bit of guerrilla camping way out somewhere I won't mention I'm sure someone saw my fire, but it would have taken a helicopter to find me by it I'd plan on lodging..watch out for bedbugs :P

Was hoping you were saying you are in Ryan.
Busted stub shafts are part of the Moab experience too. Seen them changed out on the trail.Flint

I haven't ruled out going yet (pending TBI install). I would probably leave on Weds as well.Scott R.

lol, very true, i have done Moab half a dozen times or so ,carb'd, in three different FSJ's. What I should have said is that I was planning on taking this year off but I am excited about doing the TBI swap and if I can get it done and tuned before Moab I may go to test it out. I was hoping to do my SOA/SF too but I am having trouble finding some parts and I don't have all the parts yet.Last edited by srobertsfsj; 03-02-2012, 07:06 AM.Scott R.

The part I am having the hardest time finding is axle shafts for my HP D44. I have an 8-lug setup from a 78 F-250 that I want to swap in while I am doing the SOA/SF but it didn't come with the front axle shafts.
The other missing parts are just waiting on funds:
High steer arms
Drag link and tie rod for high steer
D60 missing all brake parts (was thinking of going disc in the rear)
8-lug rimsScott R.

You can make the drag link out of DOM and use some ES2010L and ES2010R TRE's, assuming you get some arms off ebay made for chevy 1 ton.
I'm prolly gonna go with discs on the waggy soon and will give you the stock D60 brakes if you want them.
Can't help you with rims (well I do have a set of crappy 8 lug rollers...)
I will be hitting the yards on Saturday, looking for those shafts. If I find them, I would loan 'em out to ya.Please come on over to http://fsjnetwork.com/forum and have a look.

Funny you mention FSJPARTS. I already PM'd him and he wasn't sure if he was going to part or not. I haven't heard from him since. Hoping he will
Thanks for the offer on the brakes, if I haven't found any by the time you convert I might take you up on that. Rims are fairly cheap so I will probably wait until I get close to doing the SOA/SF. Question for ya, do you know if 15" rims will work on these axles? I believe a stock F250 8-lug was 16". Would save me some serious $ if I dont have to buy new tires too.
Unless a miracle happens and I win the lotto I doubt I will have the SOA/SF done before Moab but I will definitely have it done before Ouray. I plan on selling my 6" Hell Creek springs to help offset some of the cost. Right now I am concentrating my efforts on the TBI since I have pretty much all the parts.Scott R.
