MiNi Beast Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 was a windy day yesterday but that doesn't bother me, i love buttwarmers when taking the top off and riding with the tube doors. just another day trip down by the river so the dog can swim swim. Also scored a jig maker. lets go fishing eh? planning next week to bust out of the city and camp and fish all week and fully welcome April showers.

MiNi Beast Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 ok so got me new yoke. should work to drive to driveshaft shop and have my driveshafts redone, as well as the spares....again. all good as shop knew id be back once did trans swap. and also got the newer style 14 bolt wheel hub seal as they were said to be superior to the older style and will in fact seal if your spindles are in rough shape. I hope so as them speedy sleeves are $50+ and these I got from rockauto for $10 each. or you can go to offroad design and get same seal for $30. rock auto with free shipping please. so with the weather nice for the moment going to take a break and head up to the UP and pick up my bike as its bike season. So road trip. so drop woodstove off and pick my bike and head back to load jeep up and get shafts handled and go camping and fishing all next week and keep enjoying life as it unfolds.

MiNi Beast Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 1 minute ago, jdog said: are you sure there's fluid in it? little low maybe but it does. those newer seals have a double lip seal design and i have seen them installed on worse spindles then mine without fail. heck if i can get 6 months out of them id be happy. last set started leaking after 10 miles.

MiNi Beast Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 well cleaned out the MJ and packed it to hit the woods again and do a little fishing. figured id wait a bit to let this brief cold spell go through.

MiNi Beast Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 well shipping getting faster these days, parts received in under a week. let the fun begin. 11" drop to help with towing. 62mm throttle body upgrade cause apparently I should of done it sooner.. need a new filter with a pre filter. maybe get pretty molded snorkel being they only 99. in my budget and trying to make the jeep appear road worthy for cross country driving coming up.
