Heeey look at that, a guy not afraid to tear something apart instead of just replacing it. Good work.
What problems does your Jeep have this week?

Unfortunately no, I can’t make it happen with work this year. Pretty bummed about it.

For the record I had no clue what I was doing but I actually learned a lot along the way and saved $160 for now!

There will be others in the future, no worries. There will be a bunch of local runs happening this spring too!

I’m all for tearing apart and fixing, but in that “other” case, he’d break it again soon and to keep throwing time and money at an undersized front axle isn’t the best idea. He was already halfway in the rabbit hole before the leak started. That was just the last straw, or excuse. Either way

Not throwing shade here, I applaud the guy for taking the time to learn how to fix something. So many people just pay to replace shit unnecessarily. As far as the other case, does anyone REALLY need an excuse to upgrade? Ha

I know, just having fun! I’m totally with you, and totally guilty of just saying screw it and replacing it at the same time. All good!

Bad fan clutch. My little jaunt through the mud really shook out a lot of failing parts.

I was goofing off in the snow in an empty parking lot the other day - hit the rear locker for the hell of it aaaaand there's an air leak somewhere. I'm still using the stock rubber air lines, I really hope it's just that and not something in the diff. I will gladly upgrade to the stainless lines. :rolleyes2:

I have been hearing a noise for a few days until I didn’t hear it anymore and couldn’t steer very well. The idler pulley shit the bed.Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Oh yes, I had to replace my stock one. Except we had to cut the spare off the mount, completely broke trying to break the lugnuts free. Fun times!More Saturday fun day... :naw:
The joys of buying used continues...

I'm thinking previous owner had something huge mounted on there. I always thought the entire carrier would rip away from the tailgate ?
At any rate my spare is in the cargo area for now.

Well I installed 3.5" RK springs Friday and added an exhaust spacer since I still have stock front driveshaft and I have a rattle in the exhaust now. Apparently there is a spot weld you're supposed to grind of to allow the pipe to slide back at the y-pipe but the instructions didn't say that.
