I blew and chased the threads. Still a bit tougher than I thought it should have been. I read a post about a week ago where someone said they sent out bolts with an incorrect thread pitch and I was like ?. I’ve had way too many things go wrong over the last 2 days, had to repurchase tools I...
I’m doing a diff service and installing teraflex covers on both axles. Took off the front cover and saw some of what appears to be red crumbs in the the bolt threads. Are we supposed to use thread locker on these bolts? I definitely wouldn’t use red and have a new bottle of blue, but thought I’d...
Well, after making 2 trips to my buddy’s shop, who’s out of town on a thanksgiving mud bog, I made the 50 mile drive again. I had an oh sh-t moment when I realized my torque wrench starts at 50ft-lbs. I guess it wasn’t meant to be until he brings back the tool cabinet where he has a lighter...
Yeah...didn't know what that one was. One thing for sure though, in a pinch, anything would work for at least a little while. Both could be replaced after using them temporarily since they're below the fluid line.
I have some in storage, but don't know what their compound is. I think they're green or blue. I have another kit that's all black...all I know. I took photos with my phone so i can at least ask a parts counter person questions and maybe get to where I need to be. Valuable info none the...
Reading the product description for those O-rings is a bit confusing. Written across the Pacific no doubt, it states in part, " EPDM compounds are not recommended for gasoline, petroleum oil and grease, and hydrocarbon environments ." It seems that the EPDM is made more for a seal for a...
There should be. When we purchased, we were told "In Writing" via the user manual that the FF needed to be changed every other oil change not to exceed 20k. Well, we're still making payments and "owning" owning the vehicle and they've changed the rules mid stream, increasing out cost of...
Well, front and rear covers were delivered this afternoon and a buddy of mine scored some Amsoil Severe Gear 75w-90 for me, so later this morning I'll go to his shop and do the install.
Initial observations:
DAMN! I only opened the front Teraflex cover and I must say, if I hit something that...
My question is, why are we using oil designed for Gas motors? Oils specifically designed for diesel motors further address dispersants that provide maximum sludge and deposit protection. I've always had an issue with this. Maybe from owning and/or driving diesel vehicles for years and...
Thanks for the reply in advance...
Yeah, not being able to use newer technology sucks, but then again every tool kit should include some Permatex...LOL Not sure why the factory gasket isn't compatible, but it is what it is.
Mine is is '21 and I have no drain in the front, but do in the Rear...
I'm about to leave to pick up a set of these from the Jacksonville, FL 4-Wheel parts Northern location. Would you still recommend these covers? How's the clearance from the tie-rod?

Don't forget to deduct all passenger weights....frig's etc that may be carried in the back seat. Hell, if the suspension was upgraded or skid plates have been added, gotta take those away as well.
OP, essentially, anything added to the vehicle from when it was sitting on the dealer lot.
If...
Crazy.
I know weight is important. If I wanted to shave 100 from my rig I'd start with me...yeah that's not gunna happen. There are just some things I'd do without or find a way to do it with less weight. The frame or arms and steering gear is a big no.
Haven't gotten around to lifting my JTRD yet, but on my previous jeeps and a friends...Nope. Everything has been pretty much bolt on.
I've see YT'ers pull out flap discs to clean up ugly factory welds. In my mind, I see material being removed in addition to sprag. Inevitably, how every...
