That's legal in CA and WA as long as the "intent" was pure. Immediate release bail too.
What did you do to your TJ today?

Replaced my pinion seal.
A bonus is that there is now a ring underneath my TJ that is rustproofed for eternity.
I know you guys like pics so here is the old seal and the bag the new one came in.

You made me feel bad about NOT posting pics of the locker wires fixed. To @Kiwi TJ here you go. Sorry, my doctor made me eat healthy.
I finished up my SwayLoc installation today. For those who have done this is my bolt, washer, nut order on the links correct? I used Blaine's instruction tips to install it without referencing the directions until putting these on and the illustrations and instruction manual leave a lot to be desired.

Update: Gears and Limited Slip look fine. You can grab the studs and wiggle the shafts. The shafts are chromoly and will be removed and inspected. The bearings will be replaced and inspected. Hoping this is a case of bad parts. Very strange.
What kind of steel? The correct type with a surface hardness for a bearing surface is something like 1541h. Others will get destroyed.
If they are chromoly, they're not 1541H. The first digit (1) means it's a plain carbon steel. Chromoly steels start with a 4.
Edited to add a bit more info:
First digit 1 = plain carbon steel
Second digit 5 = manganese added
Third and fourth digits 40 = 0.40% carbon
Fifth digit H = batch chemistry at the mill is to be controlled to ensure it can be precisely hardened (in this case, it's case-hardened)

The real reason I didn’t bring mine, just waxed it and didn’t want to get it dirty
it’s been spoiled being garage kept since we got the new house.
@Tejasol, I should have also reinforced why Rickyd said what he did. I can't tell what rear axle you have from your post or profile, but if you have a Dana 35 rear end, and you have chromoly driveshafts, when you remove them to inspect, pay close attention to where the wheel bearings ride on the driveshafts. In the Dana 35, they use the actual surface of the driveshaft as the inner bearing race. Chromoly isn't suitable for that (too soft), so it usually wears incredibly fast. For that reason, Mr. Blaine has lead the charge to educate that 1541H shafts should be used instead. They are case-hardened in the area of the bearing to support that bearing load, and they've been well-proven to be strong enough. Don't buy chromoly shafts again if you replace them - switch to 1541H.
However, if you have a Dana 44, disregard - they have actual inner races that press onto the shaft, so chromoly is an excellent choice for those.
Edited to correct from Dana 30 to Dana 35.
