If there's no offset of the tires your steering may be off center. Too long. Of a Drag link.

ZJ tierod and solid cover... Not much clearance on hard driver. Passenger is a bit better.

Tips on how to get that fill plug in before I head to store for giant Allen wrench?

Wrench acquired. Fluid contained kind of. Test drive and locker is much quieter than before. I know my pinion seal is not much of a seal so I'm wondering if I didn't have enough fluid in the diff. On the other hand, I didn't realize how much higher the full plug is in the solid cover so I slightly over filled the diff this time.

Quieter is nice though...

Take a 3/8" bolt and lock 2 nuts on the end, use a normal 9/16 ratchet

Well that explains my scratching my head when I started the third quart.

Noted for the future. One quart.

Well, 4 days and the most "built up" jeep I've seen is a TJ rubicon on 33s. Maybe 2" lift. No mall crawlers either. Granted I'm in the "working mans" section of the area so I might just not be seeing them.

What there are an over representation if is over lifted trucks. What good is a 12" lift on a 150 running 33s? There are so many of them that it can't be an accidental "stupid move".

Oh well. Still need to find someone here to head off the pavement with...

Bah! Catastrophic loss of steering fluid at 55mph. Haven't opened the good to investigate. Irrelevant as I can't actually find a "local" <redacted> or <redacted> to buy parts from.

Any way... Mark noticed a leak in my reservoir while we were doing repair. Could be anything though. Other than "buy a different Jeep" what should I look to upgrade while I'm pulling steering stuff apart?

Probably blew a hose.  Shouldn't be an issue finding new.  Not a usual failure point so no upgrade needed.

4 cyl reservoirs have always been problematic due to cracking.  That might do with an upgrade from PSC or something.
