    Who makes the best heavy duty diff cover?

    I have a Crane cover and its held up pretty well. I've hung up the rear diff on rocks a few times (yeah, yeah, I'm still learning to drive well off-road ....) and no issues. Mine needs to be painted though.

    Rear Bump Stop Question

    Yep, I'm sure the exposed bolt did not help matters! I'll be re-installing the pucks correctly when doing the new upper bump stops. Lesson learned!

    Rear Bump Stop Question

    I still had the original rear upper bump stops and installed 2 hockey pucks after a new lift. Well, the first time on the trail shredded them both and I have to install new ones. So just a tip to check the condition of the uppers as well.

    Squeaky Squeaky after UCA/LCA/lift install

    Thanks, I'll check them too. Although the originals were replaced at 117K miles (around 17K ago) when I had a 2" BDS lift.

    Squeaky Squeaky after UCA/LCA/lift install

    In a previous thread I mentioned my rig developed a terrible squeak after installing a lift, new JBA UCA's, and new front and rear LCA's. Tom Mudd mentioned that I should have the bushings re-torqued with tires on the ground as they may have been tightened with wheels in the air. I'm doing that...

    KJ overheating on hill climb

    Mine got hot on a 3 mile hill ascent on pavement a few days ago. First time I had seen the dash temp gauge go above the middle. But I just got done wheeling it for 6 hours so it was already "warm." Crested the hill and coasted down and watched the temp drop. No issues ever since.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Wheeled it! Scratched the paint, dinged the wheels and got it dirty! Short video of crawling up some rocks: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cuqezf4icjjrukl/Rock_climb.mp4?dl=0

    Murphys law just bit me

    Latest update.... I'm being told there is a problem with the front axle c-clip staying in place and that's why the axle seal leaked. I had original CV's replaced at 102K miles with re-manned NAPA, never leaked. Those lasted 32K and now new ones installed and leaked the day I drove it home. Is...
