I do. Very defensive.

Not yet. Been buying too much fishing stuff the last couple of weeks.

 

Fishing stuff won’t keep your insulin cool

 

This is true.

 

Scooped an epic deal on Craigslist yesterday.

 

And it actually has an accessible drain!

 

Looks like a monster OBA system

 

for garage journal link.

 

For reals. Didn’t even realize I was amongst a garage build, was just trying to set myself up. Realized right when I was getting into demo.. taking steps backwards to go forward.
Phase 1: Exhaust fan
Phase 2: Lumber rack

Obvs both of ours is broken cause photobucket blows. Josh might even be on there too.

And I can’t even keep up with TW....

 

@TNT4X4

This arrived today. This job is officially done. Thanks again Matt for the AA SYE suggestion. It all went well & the XJ is back in action.

 

Glad it worked out man, how did the SYE install go?

 

It went well. The only part I struggled with were the snap rings. I have a whole set of pliers, but they all have the point on the end. I need to find a pair with flat ends I guess.

I drove the XJ to work today. I’ll check it for leaks when I get home.

 

What do you think of the PO’s cut here?

 

Lmao

 

But I have one those for you so you can start carrying that around too

 

Ehh I think its pretty easy to go overboard with spare parts. The stuff i carry is more to get me home if I break, rather then to keep me wheeling all weekend. The more weight in spare shit you carry around the more likely you are to break cause of all the extra weight. I think tools to try and fix stuff or remove broken parts are most important, also carry a couple common nuts and bolts. You can do a lot with duct tape and big zip ties so i have that, seals and gaskets are light so I pack some of that stuff too. I usually carry one u-joint and one drive flange. Rarely ever carry any real spare parts, maybe a birfield if I'm gonna be wheeling longer then a weekend. You can drive surprisingly far on a busted diff, never saw the need to even consider carrying one of those around but, to each their own. I have driven 6 hours home from gore mountain VA with 3 teeth missing of my rear ring gear. It was loud and slow but i don't think it was any worse then trying to change a complete diff in a parking lot.

 

If anyone is looking for a set of stock 2016+ wheels and tires let me know

 

Everyone here already has a spare diff. They often forget its mounted right between the front tires under the engine
