LOL, maybe so. I have a shit-load of zirks around... and allen head plugs. I still might do it before I install it. My main concern was to get it to a point where I could install it.

You know I looked for that UHMW stuff.. but it looked to be more of a project than I wanted to try on the first shot. Wasn't sure how thick I needed. But I do think I'll paint the inside of the outer tubing, and the outside of the inner tubing with the EZ-Slide. I was talking to my dad and he uses EZ-Slide on grain wagons and its pretty durable. Should hold up for the limited travel it will see.

that's funny, I was just going to mention that about the tractor implements that we use and grease up. Run those shafts dry for a few months and like HELL to separate the inner and outer

Well I don't think I'll be running it too hard so I 'should' be good to go. We'll see..

No, not at all. I plan to simply apply a coat of grease to the shafts when I slide them together. I thought about tapping the outer tube for zirks, and then when I don't need them I would remove them and install allen head plugs. But since its a low speed thrill ride and not used much, I think that I can just disconnect the pinion end and grease the shaft as needed. I also thought about painting the tubing with the graphite impregnated paint I have. http://www.tractorsupply.com/harves...z-slide-graphite-based-coating-1-gal--2120107

gotcha!

I think that disconnecting idea is gonna work until the first time you have to disconnect it to grease them, at which point it will end up on a drill press so you don't have to do it again. There was a guy on pirate who made one out of some larger material and sleeved it with UHMW I think that would be the ticket if you ever built another one.

Yeah right!!!

At least not any harder than this!!!

Painted my DS with Ez-Glide graphite lubricant. I painted the inside of the outer and the outside of the inner tube. Then I coated it with a nice layer of Mobil 1 grease. I still need to wipe some of the excess off. But damn it went together nice. I'm missing 4 more bolts... fawk! I had them in the garage somewhere... mis-placed them though. They are the old ones. I might just give Marlin another call and get 4 more... bend over!

Also got my steering wheel installed.

Very nice! Who sells those throttle setups?

 

[AlienXtx]

Looking good Sean, like that steering wheel too. Is that the same style you had in clyde?

x2, I should have gotten that one, mine is just a little different.

 

[TacoXpo]

I may copy! :o

Would like to have this one and the wheels to go with it but Bill and Melinda are so freakin' tight these days!!!

Same exact wheel, only difference is this horn button works. Lol

Very nice! Who sells those throttle setups?

It looks like a Bmx bike brake lever with the cable connected to the throttle. The throttle return spring was swapped out for a big dog. Not sure if that's really what it is, but it appears to be.

 

[Silverback]

It drives great!

 

[AlienXtx]

You need a wolf/moon sticker to go with that eagle one...

 

[taco4x4rar]

It would compliment the exhaust stack in the bed nicely

 

[Silverback]

Added some horsepower and d-bag repellent

Lol.. It matches my 3 wolf t-shirt.

I'm installing a 7" chrome stack, do you want the old one for your rig?

 

[Anathollo]

I love that shiner sticker! Nice! Did you take your rig for a spin around the neighborhood yet?

 

[Taco Loco]

Sean--might need a little wax, looks like it might have a few scratches here and there

 

[TacoXpo]
