yesss
and fax them to me!
I'll be doing this on the weekend.
I got side tracked with the winch. 1" body lift, savvy tc cable, 1" mml.
Transfer case skid replacement on order. And likely adjustable control arms.
I'll go for a while and see what I can break while I do the front axle replacement search at the same time.

Started the rear main seal replacement on the 4.0. Got all of the bolts out except the ones being covered by the starter... Tried to remove the starter and so far no good.
Gonna tackle the rest of it tomorrow after work and try to get it finished.
Any tips on removing the starter when the bolts don't want to cooperate?

Yes,STREET RAYS I use them,do you run isolators?I run 1.5 but Jeep didn’t have isolators when I got it
I replaced all the insulators, front and rear, and painted everything before installing them.
Front was:
2 Each - Moog K160039 Coil Spring Insulator (Uppers)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002M6J5ZG/?tag=wranglerorg-20Rear was: (Upper & Lower)
2 Each - MOOG Steering & Suspension K160060 Coil Spring Insulator, regular
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0031GZ6JA/?tag=wranglerorg-20I also replaced the Jounce bumpers front and rear, but these were pricey for what you get.
Omix-ADA 18280.25 Bump Stop for Jeep Grand Cherokee/Wrangler ZJ/TJ

I've not seen any issues with removing starter bolts. Just use your lubricant of choice, along with a decent leverage socket wrench and they should break free.
Thanks for the numbers,those front ones look thick,almost like the 3/4 spacers rough country gives you,how thick are they

Is it true that no matter what you do, the rear main will have small leak? Asking b/c I feel like mine is bit more than a "small" leak but not sure I want to tackle it right now if its not going to completely fix the issue.
Happy to have finally joined the mismatched door club. Just waiting on paint and I’ll take care of these and the CJ tailgate at the same time. The only issue is the soft upper match isn’t great... My soft top is off an ‘04, so medium grey wasn’t an option, but it’s still very grey and the uppers are a few shades darker. It will only be an issue as until I eventually replace the top, and I’ll get matching upper skins.
Any leaks I've see have been the result of improper installation, or an excessive groove in the crank from the old seal. Installed properly, your chances of leaking anytime soon are small.

I believe mine has a groove in the crank from the old seal. Replaced it and it was good for about a year, now has developed a slight seep. Honestly, I'm just going to run high mileage oil at this point. If it's just a seep, there isn't any point in chasing it.

I was thinking the same thing b/c the transmission was rebuilt about 15K miles ago. Sorta hoping it got thrown back together or something.

Got my new Genright aluminum bumper powder coated and installed.
Gladly would have purchased a Savvy if someone from that company would have gotten back to me. Andrew at Genright answered the phone on the first ring. I’m very happy.
Not today, but all in the last 2 weeks. Maybe I'm done for a while??
- 33x10.5 KO2 tires, kept Ravine wheels.
- Added 1 washer to steering stops, fixed slight rub on control arms.
- 5.13 Gears installed
- Speedometer gear replaced (43 tooth), speedo now 100% accurate!
- JKS 1.25" body lift
- Brown Dog 1" lift motor mounts

The brown truck dropped off a cool package from TRE (koozie is a nice touch)
Got the old Warn winch cleaned up and installed the new rope. Amazing how much easier it is to work with than cable. Took some weight off the front of the jeep as well!

Changed from winter to summer. Hardtop and full doors to soft top and soft doors.
I just did this,lost 40lb ,did you look behind the new fairlead and make sure you can see the scribed line?

I did not. Assuming that would be to make sure there's proper clearance around the opening? I'll double check in the morning, but I think I'm good - thanks for the heads up.
