My front way way too full. I plan to check the rear, drain the tranny and transfer case too.

A few of my wheeling buddies and I are talking about heading to Huntsville Sunday to go play at Texas Off Road Ranch for most of the day. Just thought I'd see if any of the Cherokee bunch will be up there too

Well I figured I had the font end tore apart already so I ordered a Aussie Locker for the front. At least I can reuse it when I regear.

I wouldn't be married anymore if the wife knew half the crap I did with my trucks and guns. I drained the rear diff today and it looked worse than the front, more mud less water, thick. Also drained the transmission and it looked like Guinness. Now for the transfer case.

1. Disconnect hoses from box

3. Seal opening in front with wood or plastic
4. Silicone all openings
5. Cut a round hole in the back to fit the flex hose, seal with silicone
6. Put box back in and line up the hose to you firewall, draw a circle and cut it open ( make sure its under the open vents of your cowl)
7. Seal hose to firewall hole. Put plastic weld all around for a good seal here.
8. Connect it all up.

*I used two 90 degree 3"pvc joints that come from the back of my box. Flex hose will work the same if you get the right length
How does it work? No problems flooding out or anything?
