Shifted flawlessly even with 10w30 test oil in it. It now has Redline MTL (best oil for AX5/AX15 in the cold weather in my opinion) and there is NO grinding even when cold. Got a sweet deal on it at Emerson Oil on Lyle Ave.

Anyone in the crew with two lockers have trouble with wearing out motor mounts faster than normal due to added stress on the mounts? If so, did you go with aftermarket mounts like Brown Dog, etc. ?

I put aftermarket mounts in my TJ when I had it, they are nice just for added security of know you wont break them. If you need to replace them, then aftermarket ones are the way to go.

I am wondering if mine are on their way out.. my tranny shifter is still moving side to side a lot even after replacing the trans mount.

That's exactly what mine does! My shifter moves almost 4-5" side to side when I'm in the rocks. Hopefully nothing breaks this weekend at 4x4 101.

Gotta lot of stuff to do on this pile before I can wheel hard again:

-Front motor mounts
-New rear leaf spring bushing
-Change out rear driveshaft to old longer one and put conversion joint in, new t case output seal on slip yoke
-Move exhaust output location so that it doesn't melt my leaf spring bushing   ::)
-New 33" tires
-Rear diff cover and fluid change
-Remove body lift and have mounts redone on pass side (M4)
-New sway bar bushings

Pinion bearings? Should be HP front being YJ so no crush sleeve to loosen up, right? Mine did the same thing, pinion flopping all over. Good times replacing them and setting the depth in my parent's lawn.

Putting some newly acquired Rubicon Express extreme duty front leaf springs on this piece today. Pulled the guy who was working at A&A out of a Montage Mountain mud hole awhile back and he decided to give me the dealer price. Sweet!

Broke my 8.5ish year old Trailmaster pass side main leaf wreck wheeling on Sunday after RCQ. A fallen tree was precision cut via shitty hatchet to wedge between the frame and the D30 to keep the vehicle upright. My winch, two ratchet straps, and a bungee cord kept it semi-located for the drive back to the parking lot with periodic adjustments. Oh I forgot it was being pulled by a JK (details). Lol

Tried taking my third steering stabilizer off while I was under the vehicle last night but the cotter pin is so mangled on the castle nut that it WILL NOT come out. Debating on cutting it off. I am 90% sure it is dead weight haha.

AAA got me home. Only reason I drive to Rausch is that the trip home is 93 miles. The first 100 miles are free so I get in by the skin of my teeth! First time I had to be towed out of Rausch though which is surprising.
