Didnt we do this once? Oh well I'm in again. General spring 3.5" military wrap rear Rubicon express 4.5" coils in front 31" general grabbers

This made me look to see when it joined..... Holy craps thats been a minute. Lol But my anniversary is coming up. 1/29/07 And another vote for Comanche Club setting the standard above the standard for forums and that includes the quality of the membership.

31's and 3.07. Thats your problem.

No just a wrench in a ring gear bolt and let the wrench bind against the housing while rotating the pinion. The mechanical advantage of the gears gives you the avility to push the carrier out of the housing. I found this guys tricks helpful.

Put a wrench on a ring gear bolt and rotate the pinion. Your fighting bearing preload. This is where the pros would use a case spreader.

Great story telling. Glad yo hear you found a booster.

Yes my breather system is intact and functioning. I still get seapage around the cap. I tried shimming the old gasket to no avail. Its either leaking or too tight to get back on the valve cover.

Edit: I misread the post and thought the thermostat housing was broke. Not sure there is a good fix for this short of a head replacement. Being cast it will be difficult to repair.

I can attest to this. I lost a nice turbine with a brand new 31" tire. Add a strap. The piece of mind is worth it.

Where did you find a new cap? As far as I know renix era oil caps arent available new.

Please keep me updated if this fixes the oil cap. I have been trying everything and can't get my leak to stop......

I hope the new owner finds his way here. Looking forward to watching the new build for sure......

Brake line looks much better in that pic. It was all camera angle. Cowl hoods are just plain cool.

We were refering to the stainless line the axle vent is zip tied to. That stainless line should have some slack to account for suspension droop. In the picture it appears to be almost taught.

I just did leds in mine also. Its nice to see stuff in the truck. Especially with the 2 in the overhead console lit.

Something doesn't seem right with the load sensing valve. How is the valve mounted? The rod should vertical and the valve above the diff. to function correctly. I only ask because it can effect your braking abilities. Don't want you to go drive it for the first time and not be able to stop as quick as anticipated.

wow those look great.

as long as the suspension doesn't droop it looks good......

So far all is well. I cut a load of firewood with it yesterday, and made it home safe. Lol. So far in really happy with the 4.10s. Although ive only put a few miles on them so far. There is one thing I can't live with and must addreess soon. Speedo is off. I didnt even think about changing speedo gears...... I think I need a 36 and it may have one on a shelf. Gonna have to go on a treasure hunt.

4.56 would be good with 33s. I just put 4.10 in mine with 31s and the seem about right.

I finished the front diff today. Was a little more challenging to get it right. But all said and done in happy. Havent test drove it yet. Waiting till morning for that. Sorry no pics this round. Was to focused on working.

I have returned home safely from the test drive all seems well. Now time for the front.....
