Yea man just give me a shout and we'll hit some trails

 

Well friday im getting the body damage on the jeep fixed, i kinda like it but my familys all about having a car in tip top shape, and they cant stand it haha. So im getting the dents pulled out and painted, and fixing alot of scratches on it, all its costing me is paint and im gonna help the guy do it. Its not gonna change how often i go wheeling thou

 

Well i changed my oil yesterday and when i was under the jeep i found that my Dana 30 has a pinion seal leak, is not dripping yet but its just kinda wet. Hopefully sometime this week at school we can pull it in the shop and get it fixed

 

Well i changed my pinion seal pretty easily at school but only to find out that my inner axle seal on the passenger side is leaking so now i get to fix that . Hopefully theyll let me work on it all day in class next week

 

Well i replaced both of my inner axle seals on the jeep, but when i took out the carrier to tap the new seals in i found that dirt had got into my differential and took out my bearings on the carrier so i had to pull the old bearings off and press the new bearings on. But my bad luck didnt end there, when i went to put back in the carrier the new bearings are slightly bigger and wouldnt go in, so now i have to pull them back off and take out a few shims and try to set it back up. So what turned into a 1 day job turned into a 2-3 since im doing it at my school. But on the good side of things im trading my teraflex revolver shackles for som heavy duty rock sliders!!!

 

those shackles so much flex! lol helped put a set on my friends yj

 

Yea they do i just didnt want to risk getting axle wrap when they unload slamming on the breaks. Plust id rather have the heavy duty rock sliders haha

 

Well finally got the jeeps front end back together, after putting in new axle seals, new carrier bearings/races, cleaning up the axle shafts, and putting everything back together i have 2 days worth of work in it. It feels good getting it back up and running!

 

Nice!

 

Thanks man!

 

Great build! Too bad I'm not closer to your neck of the woods, I'm going to be at Uwharrie a few time this summer though I believe! I went for a workday with NAXJA and now I'm hooked lol

 

Nice man! Our 4x4 club is gonna try to make it down there one or 2 times this summer for a whole weekend each time, your more than welcome to tag along if you want!

 

Hopefully going tomorrow or sat to pick up my 3 mount rock sliders!!!! Trading them even for the teraflex revolver shackles that ive only got $50 in, i think its a great trade!

 

Let me know when y'all go and I'll try to be there! Hopefully I'll have a couple more goodies on it by then

 

I will man, haha me too hopefully i will have my sliders on by then and go up a couple more inches
