Current plan: keep limping.

New trans fluid and filter, O2 sensor Saturday morning before Erik's. (anyone need a ride?)

Next week: engine oil, trans again, diffs, tcase. Weld frame cracks. Put seal kit in steering box. Pretend it's fine! It probably will be again for a little while.

After that it's debatable. maybe new front springs, remove add-a-leaf, bushings in spring shackles with fresh bolts & new front spring hangers? Redo front links with big joints? hydro steering and knuckles? (and a cage and seats and a chassis and coilovers...) That's when it runs away.

Couldn't get the o2 senior out to save myself. May need to pull the y pipe and/or get a real heat source on what's left of it.

Ran GREAT with a good battery, and it hour a bad O2 sensor.

Front locker is giving up the ghost though. Left front skips under throttle.

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail :)

If I had acetylene it would be out and done just as fast (I think)

Door and tailgate are good. Rearend's days are numbered. Had to drill 2 bolts to get the cover off. Tackling front cover before calling it quits for dinner.

Front has broken teeth too. Locker looks good though; I'll take a closer look after it drains and drools off and I don't need to waste 14 cans of brake cleaner. The gear oil that came out was like custard. 200w I'd bet. Probably the issue.




I had issues uploading pics to the forum. Anyone else?

I know, right?

Wonder if I have any gear marking compound left. Curious to run a pattern. I think I was happy with em when I set em up, but I'm not sure where those pics are.

So Alex didn't warrant those CJ gears, huh smike?

he will bitch if the teeth are not completely broke out.  if its broke on the outer edge, or inner edge the pattern and teeth loading was not correct.



it should break the whole tooth out, and go below the core of the teeth if it really failed.

And now: the only reusable parts on the rig need serious repair too!

If I was interested in doing something right, the front axle should be pulled and the bottom of the housing built up too. Bottom bolt hole is almost gone and there wasn't enough of a head left to unthread it.

Not sure if "it'll be fine" applies when 3 teeth are partial in both diffs. I'm leaning towards "barely fine." thoughts?
