    Is my rear axle bearing shot?

    No, the one on the right came from RockAuto in a Timken box. NAPA, AutoZone, O'Reillys and Advance Auto are the only parts storein my town. NAPA cross referenced 9912S and what they brought out looked like a Spicer seal. The other three stores brought out boxes marked 9912S and the seals had...

    Is my rear axle bearing shot?

    I looked locally for Timken 9912S seals and the ones they showed me were not the same as the Timkens even with the same part number. I wanted to post some pictures of the Timkens and Spicer seals. Spicer on the left. Timken on the right.

    What's the best thing you've bought for your Jeep under $100?

    I like to zip out the windows and remove door uppers even when it cold. Seat heaters for me. It really helps on cold mornings or winter rides.

    Front differential leak, should I just redo the RTV?

    I use very little RTV and don't use a bead. I smear a thin layer of what ever RTV isn't dried in the tube on the mating surface, bolt down the cover and let it sit overnight. If your surfaces are flat you almost can't tell there is any RTV on the mating surfaces. If it makes a mess, try less.

    Front differential leak, should I just redo the RTV?

    That is a lot of silicone. More than 90% of the silicone will be squished out or packed in the bolt holes.

    Would it be better to do the stretch at the same time as the mid arm?

    Best places to retire?

    One thing to think about is the lack of public land in the eastern half of the country. There are small patches, but in the east is almost entirely private. I live in the Nashville area and it is 1200 miles to get to Denver. There really isn't much in between. I have not picked where I...
