Is anyone on here going to Uwharrie Safari 2010 this weekend???
Its gonna be awesome!! I know Rover_Hokie and myself will be there, any other LRF..ers?

To all of you not going, i'll be sure to take lots of pics to share when I get back.

 

I might go. Haven't decided if I feel safe driving rovee that far yet or not. I have 88k on the original front driveshaft. If I can get the ujoints in the next day or two I'll rebuild it and prolly go. I live in North GA. Anyone know a part # for ujoints I can buy at napa or advance auto parts or something?

 

I will be there with

My wife
8 month old baby
Wifes BFF
My buddy from TX

 

Nice! see ya there.

GARovee, I cant help you with part numbers, but hopefully you can make it out. Its gonna be a fun weekend.

 

The "center ball kit" part # is either Neapco 7-0081NG or Precision 617. Either brand works.

For U-joints: Neapco U-Joint is nice (part # 1-0005), it has the grease zerk nipple in the end cap, making for easy greasing. The Precision 344 u-joints do not have the endcap zerk fitting, but is in the base of the joint (less friendly to grease). If your auto parts store looks up the u-joint by vehicle make and can't find a LR Disco, get a u-joint for a 1993 Volvo 240 (same joint size).

Have fun!

 

(qty 3) 344 precision u joints (qty 1) 617 precision ball kit or if you have an Advance Auto nearby PDQ 1-0005 (qty 3 @ $14) and Neapco 7-0081NG (qty 1 @ $30), I do not reccomend using Auto Zone as their U-joints are Chinese made and not very good quality. Your rear propshaft takes the same u-joint.

 

ahh u beat be me by 2 mins.

 

LOL Ed...I keep a folder on my desktop with all the common questions and answers (u-joints, head gaskets, etc.) a LR owner would ever ask...simple "copy and paste". I've used the search function a few times and sometimes it produces results and sometimes it does not.

I'd rather just post the correct answer for newbies...that's how I learned...

 

haha

we will be easy to spot! My buddy is driving his Black Jeep Rubicon

We (buddy and I) area getting there in the jeep late thurs

The girls are comming down in the rover fri morning.

 

I'm sure the Jeep will stand out more than anything. I tried to convince my friend who owns a GC to go, but he just wasn't having it. I even told him i'd go to a Jeep event to make up for it.

I'll be there Fri afternoon sometime. I counting down the hours...
