Finally got a warm weekend!

Temperature was in the 60's here today after several single digit nights for the last week or so.
My old off road Jeep needed some TLC so today was the day to get it started.
Had to replace the battery and starter first, then get it in the barn


Here's how the steering is set up


I knew there was some leaks, what I found whan I pulled the front cover


All stripped down

Now for the "tool shed" part

Started this socket organizer a year ago, ran most of it on CNC mill, I could never find exactly what I wanted so I just made this one. Finished it up before I started tearing into the Jeep. I've got to get this Jeep road-worthy so I can get into my 71 blazer project!





I got this toolcart at Harbor Freight $200

Another issue..bent spring



Another Handy "shop tool"

A look inside a Dana 60 high pinion front axle.
Here's where your inner axle seals live......(and die)!

You can see the spring has worn through the rubber seal

This is the result

I probably posted this whole thread in the wrong section, so I humbly beg forgiveness!

But as a last bright spot in putting a Jeep in a Blazer forum,

Here's where the power comes from......'92 Tuned Port Injection!


Rest assured, there will be '71 Blazer pictures before long!
