Walking back from dropping off Sammy the Volga at the Big Village…
Gonna get work done on Sammy…
After lots of thinking and even pulling from my past experiences, albeit a very long time ago, Sammy the Volga will have her rear end welded and make her a real two wheel drive girl. This is going in with conjunction of having to install a pinion bearing…
If you understood the roads that Sammy spends 90% of her time on? You would see why we are doing this. This last month has been interesting with only a standard drive train. The rain has been horrendous and getting in and out has been more than interesting at times. Crawling through mud has new meaning in the goat trail roads we live with…
So, money donated many years ago is going to have the rear end welded and allow Sammy to get around better in serious issue times. Which actually is 90% of the time that we drive her…
I have seen plenty and studied plenty of info and the Volga will have the same ability that a standard 4X4 like a LADA Niva that actually only has two when drive, just one on each axle, due to the same issue of a standard differential…
I use to drag race a whole bunch as a youngster and it does work. It changes the way you drive at times, but it does work damn good. If you have priced an LSD diff? Cost is a huge factor…
Thus, I will be without a car for a week or so and then we can go real 2X2 wheeling…
