spanner party needed before the weekender down the woods

So I think it's about time I actually did something with the swb.

It needs hopefully just the transfer box swaping for a good one (I have a new gearbox too but to save having to remove all the bellhousing bolts going to try the transfer box 1st)

I'd also like to weld up the rear diff and weld in some acrow props as a kind of internal roll cage. If they can hold up a building they can stop the roof getting flattened lol

And also fit a extra spacer to the rear of the jeep (if it arrives in time)

Will be in Cambridge not far from addenbrookes hospital and I'm thinking next Saturday (25th)? Or possibly Sunday (26th) but I think Saturday would be better.

Let me know if you can make it?

EDIT: See below post

Sorry dan but I'll be in Kent on the 25th doing a cpc course for work

Ok so on further inspection the front prop output bearing has also given up the ghost so it needs a whole new gearbox and transfer box fitting (already have) obviously this is not a 1 man job on a driveway so when can you wonderful people come over to lend a hand? It has a 2 inch body lift so access shouldn't be too difficult.

I've made a start on the roll cage which is now going to be welded directly to the chassis as when I lifted the boot carpet half the floor came up with it (must have been parked next to a land rover in previous ownership lol)

Also like to weld the rear diff, but depending on how soon we can get the box changed I may of already done it.

As the new title says I'd like it done before the weekender in August as I'm hoping Liam (he came with me to the last August weekender) will tow it down for me

Anybody?

Sorry mate as you have seen on FB I'm out of action at the moment ( only got the use of one hand)
Plus I need work done on my truck too before I can use it off road

Yeah I saw that. Get better soon bud!

Forgot to add if you were local I would be able to help but its a long drive from Wales

Well that's ensuring lol. At least it's on a concrete driveway. And yes Wales is alittle far lol. I'll have a look at it and see what I can do. I suspect getting the old one out will be easy, it's getting the new one lined up and mated up that I'm less confident about

If you haven't disturbed the clutch then getting it back on is easier as at least you know the clutch is still lined up :wink:
