What I didn't do today.
Just realized it is Valentine's Day and I did not get my Jeep anything.
Damn.
LOL.

Looking forward to installing these so I can see at night Also going to clean and detail up the door jams tailgate. Just a wee-bit of rust neutralizer needed on the drain hole areas of one door. I'll re-spray it with some paint once done to keep it clean looking. Hood and engine bay next week.

Yesterday...Installed a new wheel bearing and new brake rotor on front left wheel. Napa replaced both free of charge after they gave me the wrong bearing which damaged my brand new rotor.
Greased the front drive shaft and leaf spring shackles.
Tried to straighten the steering wheel by adjusting the tie rod but no luck, it is still turned to the left.
Topped off the t-case fluid.
Discovered that the T-case has a loose connection to the front drive shaft. Will take drive shaft off to tighten a possible loose bolt when I get a chance.

Drag link is what turns the steering wheel, not the tie rod. Tie rod does toe in and toe out.

Ahh, I see now. I will give it a shot. I hope nothing is bent and it will be a simple fix.

That thing looks MINT! Just like my first one. Is it 2wd? I can't quite tell from the picture.

Default Dana 30 Yukon Spin Free Hub

I converted over to the Yukon Spin Free Locking Hubs.
A couple years ago I installed a TrueTrac in my front Dana 30 and noticed a loss of 3-4 gallons in gas mileage. I will annotate gas mileage over the next month and post an update.
