This is what happens if you get too driver on the notch. Some LJs did a run in AZ last week and my buddy sent me this. Apparently brand new half doors

The 231 works pretty dang good with an auto, but I don’t know any different. I’ve never driven a rig with 4:1 before.
You would like it but I don't know that it makes enough difference to hunt one down and go through the pain of installing it.
OP
I am glad to hear that I’m not missing out too much. Always thought of it as a nice to have but not a big priority
OP
@Blackjack I got your pick recommendation. I don’t have any picks and have often needed one. Thanks!
OP
It is funny to think that I had never worked on a car before until 2019 when I got the Jeep. That escalated quickly
Crazy how hard the wheeling bug can bite you.
OP
A little too late for this year, but for next year's Halloween, you can make your jeep look like it survived one of those Michael Bay action movies with all the scars it will accumulate by that time (thanks to the steady rock diet you are going to be putting it on)

Did you just put some weld on there or actual piece of metal? I should do similar, it’s dragging a lot
OP
Cut notches in the bottom about 1/8” deep. Dovetail them if you can. Weld a bunch of beads on there and grind smooth when done. The best way to do this is to use a new diff cover so you can stack the layer up to be flush with the new cover. I clamped a piece of 1/4” aluminum flat bar to the edge of the diff so I could weld all the way up to the edge. I’ll find pics later.
OP
@B00mb00m I ended up adding more than this later but gives you an idea. I ramped the edges more later and then grind it all flush with the diff cover on and you now have a newly refreshed bottom of your diff that is harder than before.

Selling my super dana 35 if anyone is interested! Posted in for sale section. Willing to entertain part out offers. Also have spare super shafts for it that I am selling.

I like flutter stacks. Flutter stacks are neat.

The Dana 44 I put in had an axle seal leak start a few days after putting it in. Not bad, just a slow weep, so I took my time getting to it. Finally got to it today. Fairly straightforward project. I used @hosejockey61 video as a guide
The parts I used were Timken SET10 bearings and Timken 9912S seal. Obviously this is my first time changing a 44 seal, but apparently this seal does a much better job than others.
It was very nice to do a quick and easy project on the Jeep for once

I like seeing that things are doing their job. Some rock rash on the new weld washers and everything is nice and straight still.
OP
I think I know what my next project should be
Kind of surprised this wasn't early on your list, given the way you use the Jeep!
