I thought the talion was cool. Back when i was a horizon simp I had hoped they would release a TLR talion.

Young and dumb I guess

Let’s get it on…

Well this just won’t do..

To the 400 over glass for eleventeen figure-8’s..

Now we’re talkin’..

The difference isn’t a minuscule one.

“2 outta 3 ain’t bad..”..

Last one..

Well worth the effort, and 30min of labor..

More than a couple upgrades goin’ down..

Couple parts, add silicone..

Hard ano’d aluminum cross shafts..

A few more parts, add more silicone.. We try not to trap any air around these parts..

 

[Littlemotor]

Perfection..

For the spur, I orientate the bevel gear slot to align with the drive pin in the outdrive as usual, but place the gasket on the cup side..

Tony’s grade 12.9’s.. Because we like to party..

Wipe the Maxima grease from between the bearing races, and outdrive’s, and Donezo..

Onto the front diff.. Moarrrrr upgrades..

Same dance.. For the front & rear diffs, I stab the gasket into the ring gear, as the teeth actually hold it in place while upside down.

And the rear… No sense boring y’all with the same episode over and over.. We’ll F-Fwd that nonsense..

Ready to rock, and set aside..

And it begins

How well do the aluminium cross shafts hold up? I did considered getting some for the Mugen but I felt more confident with steel.

Next on the agenda is the center diff stand w/brakes.. Parts that are transferred over from the original kit were cleaned in the Uktrasonic, and I de-glazed the rotors for proper bedding of the new semi-metallic pads/calipers.. Most people don’t bother-I do. More upgrades ensue..

Again, no need to bore anyone-I’ve got other build threads that intricately detail this stuff if you wanna check my profile/build threads..

This will not make it to final assembly, and will end up getting the chop this evening..

Mark, remove, debut, and reassemble with thread locker to the set screws.

 

[MJT1212]

somehow we need to make this more of a challenge to you....blindfolded ....maybe just use one hand .....you make it look freaking easy....hats off to pal

 

[Littlemotor]

The arguable “center piece” to this particular build/upgrade process.. Either it was sold this way, or took a fat gash in shipping.. Nobody will ever see it, and it’s completely encased by the front bumper, but the burr bothers me..

After miraculously not losing any digits, we are pleased..

Moving forward..

Screw’d downtown like Julie Brown.. -man, I’m old AF..

 

[Littlemotor]

To the front!

Ended up with a single shim behind the pinion, and two over the ring gear side outdrive/bearing assembly..

Bring some Maxima to the party..

Sonofabitch…

So with the 2.2 buggy -2mm diff cases comes the need for 2.2 inspection covers.. I figured I’d give the 2.1 a try as I found the previous owner did not include them for my customer, and it was worth a shot NOT to have to wait on more parts again.. Yeah nah.. Locks the diff obviously, as seen by the grease on the 2.1 cover in the photard.. So what does a fella do to keep from being held up?? Well he break’s into one of his brand new kits for the correct parts until we can get the right parts here to go back in the box..

Yahtzee bitchez…

Now we are proper.
