Spring Wrenchfest

[High2by]

Hey all,

It looks like Ill be off from work that day (June 15, right?)...of course, thats provided that they dont change my schedule (yet again!).

Anyway, is there any time to do a rear axle assembly swap? I have the C8.25 in the xj that is of unknown origin and want to swap in a known 29 spline (plus the current rear end has at least one bad wheel bearing in the rear). This would also be working toward my "man on a ledge" thread...I just swapped in a d30 on the front and that didnt cure my pulling issue.

Hope this works out

Bring it. I'd say we'll have enough hands to do it. I just have a valve cover gasket to do and that's it.

Don't forget' all my stuff gets fixed first. Haha!

I'm thinking we need to have more WrenchFest's. This seems to be a popular thing.

I'll mark it down and arrange a trailer.

What else do I need to bring, since it is after all a party? :yelclap:

I know a guy that's a grad of Clown University....seriously. I do.

Boooo!

I agree!

So I ordered the lube locker for the c.825. Figured might as well change the fluid while it was there. Any brand/type recommended?

I'll get there as early as I can, and stay as late as I can, keeping In mind that I'll have a 3+ hour drive there and the same going home. I have to work early the next day...

That said, I think we'll get a lot done, and enjoy the company of like minded lunatics

I found a solution to get me to the wrench fest... I'll be bringing Mark's jeep up from Tyler's to save him a trip to Chattanooga.

I'll bring my tools, and ice if its needed...

Glad to hear you'll make it. Is there a list of items to bring / needed somewhere that I missed?

I'd say that as long as you be sure to bring the tools needed to do your specific to do list that we'll be covered. Ed's shop is pretty well stocked.

This means I'll have both my Jeeps there. So I can work on both of them if time permits....

If anyone has a ball joint press, that would make changing u-joints easier. I don't have one.

I do it with a vice, hammer, clamp, and sockets. I can help you with joints.
