The stupidest thing I have ever done...

So, I am putting the narrowed axle together with new seals. I got the pumpkin installed, new axles etc. and then I looked at the perches that I just welded yesterday. After measuring them for width and pinion angle, I welded them on the top of the axle. What a total idiot. Now I have to remove everything, buy new oil seals and perches and start all over. That makes me just want to quit for a while. UGH.

A friend and I used to run a back yard 4X4 shop years ago. I have done the EXACT same thing on a Chevy truck rear end, but welded the perches on the bottom instead the top. lol

Oh, it sooo could have been worse.
My Brother and one his buddies did the same thing and installed it that way not realizing it.
3 reverses and one forward.:D
