Just went with a new pan gasket as it looked like there was an obvious right in the middle at the rear. I'll wait on the rear main until I see if the pan is going to fix it since I just replaced the rear main in this engine when I put it in 8,000 miles ago. Oil changed for her 336,000 miles!

Bed armor at least makes the flares (1) color and stand out less. When I get money for rollon bed armor they will look OE

Installed passenger side unit bearing so both are new now.

What's the best tracbar design for flex/durability? Johnny joint, tie rod, heim, other? looking to replace and upgrade from just and adjustable tie-rod style.

It really doesn't matter which type of joint, as long as it's a double shear style - either johnny joint or heim

I have the Iron Rock Offroad Double Shear trackbar - beefy!

He got it from my rolled XJ, and IIRC, I don't even think it was scratched.

I put G2 4.56 gears in my HPD30 and (I know, flame me if you will) My D35. I only went this route because i am driving between Colorado and N.Dakota. I went from the stock 3.07 to the 4.56 with a new True Track. As far as I can tell it seems ok. The biggest issue is I can 0-60 in first gear now. (Not really, speedo is just that way off). I guess its gonna have togo to the Trany shop now to get the right gear for the speedo. :/

Nobody will flame you; we're just honest about when something is a bad idea. The gears, I say run it til it's dead. But that TruTrack, if it's in the D35, is gonna bring that death a lot sooner. Try not to spin tires.

And to correct the speedo, you just need the right gear for your transfer case. There's a chart online somewhere that will tell you how many teeth you need.
