[Jason4x4]

Service the diff? Is that something that I am supposed to do?

No, you were supposed to Swap out your diff.

Nah. Straight axle housings are for wimps.

I did clean yours up and wrapped them to keep them clean.

you did that like 4 years ago...

 

[ktmoutfront]

It was a while ago. Bent it at the First dunefest I attended. 2.5 years ago.

Popped the front diff cover for the 1st time since BB '16, to fix a leak.



So there's that. Was hoping to have it together to go wheeling next weekend, best guess is that I hurt it during Blazer Bash.

You need to stop grinding your teeth.

They should make a guard for that

 

[Blazooki]

did the teeth get ground up or did you find chunks?

 

[Bent77]

That's nasty

 

[Hogback Fabrication]

A bunch of big ol' chunks of gear teeth in the bottom of the diff. Lucky it didn't lock anything up at speed. Totally crazy to not have any issues over that and not find it until pulling the cover to fix a leak.

 

[r3dd0g]

Just pull out the chunks and run it. Think of the weight savings!

Have you called ORD yet?

Place sounds booked unless you tie your hammock to some bumpers

Preferably a winch bumper.

 

[Hogback Fabrication]

And make your hammock out of old winch cables
