So my dad and I installed the front locker this weekend on the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

First off some of you remember me writing about how to make !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! so here are the fruits of that labour.

Now when eating biltong every South African male has to have a special "Biltong knife", I like to use on of my Mora's (awesome knives fyi).

Also another very important tool when working with heavy and tools (and eating biltong) is of course beer. Here I'm enjoying a nice !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! which is great because it's super close to my house.

If you're thinking "that doesn't look like a Series Axle" it isn't. It's an axle from a '95 Discovery Series 1 (MUCH cheaper to just swap the axles than pay $3000 for the disk brake conversion).

Isn't it beautiful? I think it is.

I was wondering how you were able to dry meat in your garage. South Africa.

In Maine, USA I'm pretty sure it'd just rot. It is far too moist.

Lol actually I live in NJ now and we still make biltong. It doesn't rot because of the way it's prepared. We even used to make biltong in Durban, South Africa (where I'm originally from) which has the same climate as South Florida.

Fuck it then. I've got no excuse. I've got a new project.

Just make sure it's sub 60F and you have constant air flow. The only thing you have to worry about is mold if get's to hot and humid.

There's an early 90s Disco I at a tow yard near here for cheap, with a fried engine. My dad asked if there was anything worth burgling from it, and I was like "well, axles, maybe." Only thing being, that I think we have a full complement for how we want to build, and the only "upgrade" needed is to the 109SW - for which we need just another RR third-member and some half-shafts.

Also, I'm pretty sure the back of an 88 in a cool dry place *would* work for meat drying. If one didn't mind seasoning with succulent hypoid gear oil vapors. Mmmm, sulfamates.

Mmm that does sound tasty. It wasn't hard installing the axles, all we had to do was relocate the bump stops and shock mounts which involved cutting off everything and rewelding them on.
