Run er!!!:rock::muscle::giggle:
If It really has ya in fits of worry , install the knuckle back temporarily without the axle in there ( plug the axle housing hole) . Lay a couple light weld beads on it let it cool completely . Take knuckle back off sand , grind and paint . And install new ball joints and etc.. thats what I would do . Honestly I'd probably run it

I have a 3-car garage with 11' ceilings. Over the 2-bay I have 4 overhead storage racks. The 3rd bay is split, 1/2 a home gym and other 1/2 my workbench (WIP) & small toys.

I put up an 8' strip of plywood to hang stuff on - my AMZN tool "hangers" are 16" wide, so the mounting holes are <16" :mad:. So I have 3 of those spaced out and room for heavier hooks for other things. My workbench needs "finishing" - cut some plywood for shelves to put my power tools on, and hangers for clamps and levels. All the little stuff that takes forever but makes a world of difference. Like swapping the direction my LED lights plug in, so now they plug into the same power strip, rather than 2 different outlets on opposite walls.

Cleared a spot for my ladders to hang on the wall, built a heavy duty shelf to put our freezer on and our old RTT, and put other storage bins underneath. The 2-car side has steps into the house; luckily they are all on one side of the garage, rather than smack-dab in the middle, wasting both sides. It's only 17' between the concrete steps and the garage door.

I finished priming the 3rd bay today, hopefully I can get paint on it this week. After handling the 3rd bay, I need to move inside and finish the basement. By spring I can prime the 2-car bays and get that looking better than taped drywall.
You’re getting it done. Also a three car, but two of them are double depth. It’s the dream space. But it’s been boxes and crap on the floor since our recent move. I changed the big table (left over from previous owner) to stick out instead of being parallel with the wall. That added lots of wall space and made the whole table usable. I hung a ton of things in the wall. I had like 10 shelves from the old house garage, and added 12 large Milwaukee wall panels and went nuts. I also already owned a bunch of Rubbermaid fastrack stuff and used it to hang bikes and tons of other larger items. I threw some peg board on the end of the table, because it was wasted space and I had the board already. Getting there, but so much more to do. I’m actually loving the taped drywall, where there isn’t concrete foundation as the house is into a hill. I can easily find studs by finding a missed over screw here and there.

One side is standard. Flip it over and you have metric.

Haven't done it yet, but going to replace the slave cylinder on my clutch later this week. It's starting to be difficult to shift into first and reverse, and at 90k miles, the slave cylinder is overdue.

Is that usually replaced when the clutch is replace? Wondering if they replaced it when they put my new clutch in under recall for my JL?

It's inspected at the time, and replaced if needed. I'm at 90k, it's on its way out.

My goal is to have everything on wheels that touches the ground (home gym the exception). The one shelf I built violates that, but it's not the end of the world, only 1 leg actually touches the ground. The other leg sits on the concrete footer that goes around the entire garage.

I just need to isolate the home gym so I don't gaze out into the mess of the garage and get distracted and discouraged.
