Short of losing the shaft, I think that's the worst U joint I've ever seen. I cant even imagine who driving with that is.

As Chris said, Its all up to what one can tolerate.

Them is some big jugs o_O You should send a few dozen sets to us over here. If folks spend $250 on an angry bird grill, surely they'll would sell like hot cakes in ducksville USA.

Welcome to shitty parts at higher prices from China. Sheet..even the new OEM stuff from stoolantis comes from China anymore. This is pretty much why I gave up on working on jeeps myself, just to much garbage from china. Not that they could give 2 shites, but YOU HEAR THAT quadracrap and the rest...

I could be wrong here completely but the front diff cover fill plug looks way to low. Far as overfilling, we can assume it wasn't full of water was it? Typically diffs say fill till it runs out or up to 5/8" below the hole.

I wouldn't be surprised if stoolantis sues the maker for some legal bit like suggesting a duck is jeeps official symbol.

What is the tender doing flashing light wise? The only issue Ive had is a very low battery and some tenders need a reference voltage close to 12v to work. But..your saying your battery will start the jeep and checks out OK.

0331 head?

Sounds like you got it nailed. Case you wondered these is such a thing as a case spreader. Never needed one, you probably wont ever either, but they do exist.

Id guess it was never done because of fire factor and some type of road debris taking it out. Is compatibility up to snuff?

Those pinion gears look ugly to me. The left looks as if the C clip is recessed just slight of the surface at the bottom but just slight past up top. Im no expert but I have done a couple 35's. If the clips are new Id double check them for burrs or cupping from when they were stamped. It looks...

When I rehabbed the Dana 35 in my 98 a while back I seem to recall the same thing. As long as that retainer pin/bolt is not compromised and the carrier bores are good I dont think you have a problem.

One of my diesel ram trucks used 2 coolers in a series. The second was under the bed behind the drivers side layed flat and had a fan and shroud covering the entire cooler. Going slow obviously means little air movement across the cooler even when the engine fan is turning IMO.

let me throw this out for those who have experimented on auto's & gearing. Granted this is on my 99 superduty, which a few early years, including this one, Ford never ran trans cooler lines to thru the radiator, only to a cooler. My observations after 4 cross country trips pulling a 10K trailer...

Between jeeps and FJ's every time Ive parked it in a public place it was vandalized. IMO Id pass on that one. FB/ CL typically get fast results from my experiances. That is a nice TJ indeed.
