    Skip actually emailed me about the food vendor guy. I'll talk to him and see what kind of rates he has. He does breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I also asked about park capacity due to possible FJ interest.

    Well, I have new parts on the way. New carrier bearing, new braided SS front brake lines, new tie rod end, and I pulled the busted CV out and was able to transplant the dust shield on to the old factory CV. Hopefully it works. I popped the factory CV back in and ran the Autobone CV back to Autobone so they could replace it. If the old CV doesn't tear up the seal, then the new Autobone CV will be a spare.

    The bad news is, I'm getting water in my front diff some how, and my floor jack took a shit so Imma have to buy a new one. :frusty:

    Yeah, pretty much. I guess it's possible that the water got in the breather. I don't have any other explanation considering the diff isn't leaking anywhere (axle seals, pinion seal, case split). Seems weird that it got in the breather though. It never has before and I haven't been in any deep water lately. Only thing I can think is maybe with screwing around rebushing the steering rack and LCAs, maybe I pulled the hose off the nipple on the diff or something.

    It was an old Rally, I wanna say 3 ton. It was a cheapo brand, but it did the job for a long time.
