Hopefully not. I dont really want to be doing that on the trail again. It will make servicing the drivelines much easier though. I might be picking up the installer tool as well. Not sure yet.
I rebuilt the rear leaves and added another full length leaf. We will see how they hold up now. They finally feel like they match the springrate up front. The rig feels a bit more balanced on the street. It has a small rake when unloaded which is cool with me.

Had a few people ask me on the last run about my drag-link. Thought id post up a little demo for everyone to see. If anyone has the opportunity to do aluminum in their steering, do it. Stinkyfab has tons of options.

That's the tie rod. Drag link goes from steering gear to the tie rod or knuckle depending on your set up.

Nice video Gordo. I bought their stock replacement linkage because I plan on going wj swap in the future and the sfr tie rod was cheaper than a new zj replacement.

Indeed. Stinkyfab has some good product. Ill be getting the engine plate and mounts this year as well. They are legit.

I hope to get their entire kit sometime soon: motor plates, motor mounts, and trans mount.
Might as well do it when I'm replacing the oil filter adapter gaskets right.. lol

Got a pretty loud clunk coming from the rear end at wheel speed. 
Im probably not going to have time to check into it until im in reno so it will be a few weeks.
Two weeks until move day.

Yeah. Its a wheels speed clunk. Leading me to believe i may have a chipped tooth on the ring gear. We will see when i pull the cover. If i have to replace the gears it shouldn’t be too bad but a little frustrating.
I think its the same clunk i have when i first put in the axle but it would go away when i switched into 4hi on the freeway. But its not going away anymore. And getting pretty loud at low speeds.
