After our experiences with bushings, it's the only way to go.

I'll supply the stuff to make it and the beer... may require your welding skills though.. Mine are lacking

No problem will get it done when the time comes. Might be helpfull to find out what size hole saws we need to do the job. Since I only went with inserts I didn't have the pleasure of removing those bushings.

Well that's it for getting Pumpkin to the alignment rack on days off.

Woke up to 8"s of snow in the Great White North.

I'll take some measurements when I get under there next.

Nice work. How long did it take to get a cab.

Only like 10 minutes

I woke up at 6AM to first dig the wife's Equinox out of the snow. Then shovel the driveway. Then dig my mom's car out so my brother and I could get to the Skytrain! Barely made it there and ended up being 15 minutes late thanks to Skytrain delays.

Cool stuff. So now you will only twist apart one driveshaft, not two...

Just one less weak link. Seem like really good Guy's to deal with, spoke with both Frank and Leo. I do have abit of a shopping list and the Driveshaft Shop can certianly fill it. Can we say axels and tranny mainshaft with the extra bearing.

Ken from Stradle Craft comes through again with some more quality paint work for Pumpkin.

Looks like even Guiness the cat approves. Installation coming soon. Stay tuned.

Were you able to getPumpkin to the alignment rack yet?We ended up with another foot of snow over the weekend. Close to 2and a half feet on the flat and the snow bank along the drive way are at least 4 feet high. Could be hard getting Skitzo out of the garage to get to Phoenix in the spring.
