No problem, Nice blue by the way

Was the front axle heavy enough for ya? I just picked one up and that was uncomfortable to say the least (me and the seller stuffing it into the back of the XJ).

[JoeOffRoad]

That thing was heavy! holy moly.. I wasnt quite prepared for the weight.. okay.. well I was, my back wasnt. lol
but I did also get my grill all together:

and un packed all my suspension bits:

and was going to start installing until I ran into this:

thats why the front came out... Oh well.. I figure it will make it easier to delet the vacu disco.. kill two birds with one stone so to speak.

Ouch. What year D30?

[JoeOffRoad]

Im not sure. I have to check it out still.. The guy I got it from said all he checked was the gear ratio... which he couldnt remember.. argh.. so I figure, open her up, check her out.. new gasket and oil. hopefully slap her back together.. maybe with a loc-rite.. i dunno. I was checkin on your car domain site... You have some GREAT INFO!

[balloo93]

Thanks.

Once the cover is off, there should be a ratio stamped faintly on the side of the ring gear.

I'd be more curious to find out if it's the bigger x297 Ujionts on the axle shafts.

[JoeOffRoad]

how would a guy go about finding out what the date would be on the axel.. I have read about them in the book, but dont know physically what the size difference looks like...
