Technical question for you jeepers, Doesn't GL-5 gear oil already have the limited slip additive in it? Do you still need to add the additive for LSD rear ends?

I was under the impression some GL-5 gear oil has the additive, while others don't. I say that because when I look for GL-5 gear oil, some of them are specifically labeled as having a limited slip additive, while others aren't. I'll bet @Jerry Bransford knows for sure.

In preparation for my SYE, I want to replace the front input yoke.
Is there any reason why this input yoke wouldn't be the same for my 03 TJ, NP231 TC? It says up to 99, but aren't the 231's all the same up to 06?

Amazon also says it doesn't fit:

That being said, I wouldn't get it, you'd be taking a chance!

Took the furry kids glamping last weekend.
Hooked the Jeep up to the coach and headed for the foothills.
What was going to be a snow run, with base camp in Grass Valley, turned bust due to the weather, so we went anyway and made the best of it. Ended up having a nice time and checking out some neat stuff in the area.
Checked out the State Historic Park in Grass Valley.
The 13 acres included the mine and living quarters. The brick work was amazing on the main cottage.
While the owner and mine upper crusty's were living in the lap of luxury, the poor mine workers got a bit different view.
The rest of the property included mine type activities and support in finding that precious metal.
It was a neat history lesson.

AC was blowing warm in the Jeep, so off to the AC shop it went. $93 later and AC blows cold again. Got dye in the system now, so hopefully we can find the pesky leak.
That dye stuff works great. I had the same issue for mine, it simply turned out to be a small o-ring seal where one of the main lines connects to the compressor.

Looks good. I just clearanced my spring buckets the other day. Took forever with the flap disc but I didnt want to get near the brake line with a cutoff wheel.

They indexed to the control arm brackets and the axle tube quite nicely. Mostly I like that it beefs up my lower control arm brackets.

You won't be disappointed. Fit and finish was top notch. Now the question remains, should I cut off the old shock mounts, or just leave them there?
If it was me, I'd probably just cut them off.
I hear good things about Clayton, so that's good news!
