    That's what I'm thinking, hopefully that's the case.

    Any closer pics?

    I think mine looks the same from my driveshaft slinging grease. I'll go take a peak.

    How hard was the diff drop install? I'm replacing both cv axles next week and I'm gonna order the diff drop to help with angles

    X2. My angles are pretty steep as well. Another member is selling one locally and I may buy it off of him if it isn't too difficult to install.

    Very easy!

    Remove skids
    Remove stock bolts
    Insert spacers
    Install new bolts
    Re-install skids

    Cool. I hope it helps the angles. I hear people say that it helps with vibration but not sure about the angles. I don't really care about the vibration though since its not a DD anymore

    It didn't do very much for my angles, but a lot of my vibes went away. But some people get better results. Both of my inner boots slid back some, so I slung a little grease onto the lca's and frame but they're not leaking anymore.

    Yeah, mine didn't slide back until I drove 500 miles home at the beginning of May. Hopefully they don't get worse as I'm making that same trip tomorrow night, then driving 750 miles to New Mexico in 2 weeks...

    Hey,

    I did the rear diff breather extension today. $20 bucks in parts and less than an hour total for the install. If I knew it was that quick, I would have done it a long time ago!

    Long story short, you should get yours done before you get water in your diff like I did.:boink:

    I just found some fittings I found in my shop and some power washer hose we had laying around. Anything works for hose...but i just got a 3$ fuel filter from oreilly's to use or an end and drilled a hole next to my gas filler cap for it to pop into. Works good since its ribbed on the ends.

    Finally checked out my transmission for grease like yours. I have some grease but I can't tell if it's at the same spot as yours. I think it's at a different location.

    You can see it in this one. Clearly the driveshaft is spitting grease.
