my day is always more fun

try replacing the front axle seals... its a 15hr job according to all-data... your supposed to pull the whole front axles/hubs/ out and take apart the diff, slide the seal in from behind the carrier bering and reassemble... lol. I hate those things

No, no NO! If I can't do the math right it doesn't exist! j/k

Yeah, good info. I was trying to calculate arcs and stuff, and it has been so long since calculus and geometry I just don't have the chops. Yeah, lets move the track bar up, use the drop waggy I have, make a mount above the axle inside the spring like in the pics, and make a straight bar. And lets do it tomorrow so I can use it in Moab!

j/k - but soon for sure. Thanks for the info.

I was just over at Ryan's getting my pin welded back onto the bumper for the tire carrier. Thanks, Ryan!

No, but they sent the replacement part for free
Since there was evidence of it being cracked for a while, some preventative crack-checking (oooh, dirty!) could have saved it. Mark at Detours was cool to deal with...as usual

On my track bar I plan on running the Johnny joint and a rubber bushing like it is now. Without perfect geometry, I want the one end to still have some give.

I honestly think its the same amount of work to solid swap it lol

sounds good to me! lol me fear with a straight bar is it will hit my oil pan.. but one way to find out... Ill flex it and run a bar from joint to joint and see how close it is....

Right on! I am liking this...

No sarcasm. He shipped Jason a replacement hinge pin, & shims to properly gap the latch/hinge for welding!
