And somehow all the problems are Michigan's fault? Man, with that level of blame deflection you should be in politics.
Nah. I've been in my "safe space" crying since Wednesday morning.
Oh damn! Sorry about that Wade!
At first I thought it was broken glass from the rear window. Reminds me of the time I accidentally discharged a fire extinguisher in my crew cab; one little squirt makes a hell of a mess.
That BB just keeps on giving memories. No big deal.
What do you keep the oil absorbent in?
Home depot bucket. Has gloves and brake parts cleaner in it also. Trail leaders at Blaser Bash have to cary a clean up kit. I just leave it in the Jimmy.
During my wheeling prep, I pulled the rear drive shaft to check the joints. Found the real reason for the intermittent squeek. One cap on the rear joint was solid. Would not spin or come off. The other were good and well greased. Cut it open and found no grease in it. Could not run a wire down the center of the ear. Assuming my greasing never got to those needle bearings.
Was a Spicer. I check the new one and it is clear to all 4 caps. Good to go.

Are you using the solid spicer joint?
So you think it was a bad casting? Odd...
Yes. Never seen it before.
Went with greasable again.

I like greasable for everything except axle shafts.
Its funny how much grease a driveshaft u joint will take after a few trips to the dunes.

There was sand in the yoke holes when I pulled the ubolts. Smelled like Silver Lake Sand Dunes.
Mmm.
While I was racing in KOH a couple years back, I let the pit crew guys use Penny as a support vehicle in the pits. They set off a fire extinguisher in the back by accident and discharged the entire 5 lbs worth. I still have it shake out of cracks and crevices every time I hit a bump years later.
Haha! No doubt.
