Funny thing is, I even have my better half understanding it!

My front axle is not exactly in a position to wheel right now so when it's fixed we'll go play. Hopefully, it'll be put back together in a couple weeks. I need to save the money.

It's nothing big. The pinion bearing is sloppy and was causing a vibration with the driveshaft. The driveshaft is currently removed and I'm driving it. I figure seeing as the whole front axle needs to come apart anyway, it's a great time to regear. Which turns a bad $15 part that would be a $175 repair, into a $650 repair. I'm can't explain this jeep math, but it makes sense in my head.

Are you only regearing the front?

Are you only regearing the front?

Yes, that way the front will be going faster and stay out of my way...











I will be doing both, hence the $650 price. That's dropping off the bare axles at the installer though.

You need a bunch of '80's era lights mounted like on my old cj. You see they are less for illumination and more for counterbalancing those driveline vibrations. Of course the strategically placed hockey pucks help, too

Let me know when you're up and running and we'll hit those St. Helen trails again.

Ok, that made me laugh!


I'll let you know. It'll be sometime after car show before I'm up there to play again.
