no updates, i replaced the thermostat cause the temp gauge reads 120 tops. hope it fixs it. i did a buch of wheeling, and pulling stuck trucks. Spent a night in it. Which sucked. once again she takes a hell of a beating and keeps trucking.

alright finally replaced my axle seal, i forgot my camera for that, then i changed the diff fluid, which was white. Painted the diff cover, and put it on. Removed the valve cover, cleaned it and going to paint it and put it back on tomorrow. ZERO sludge in the motor.

thanks guys, sorry not to much goin on with the jeep. I had the spare tire on, but took it off, i want to reinforce the swing out to hold the 36 inch tire better, i blacked my tail lights out and they look great. Im considering buying a front locker but i think it might kill the dana 30
