Getting rid of the grime! Giving the old Jeep a full flush

Well, this is not the end of getting this jeep caught up on maintenance - not even close... But, this was a great start in knowing where I'm at on the vehicle's maintenance schedule.
If you have a Jeep CJ, you can get through all of your fluids, gaskets, and filters in a day's time. You just have to accept that it's a dirty, stinky job. Wear eye protection when you're spraying brake cleaner and working beneath things like the transmission and transfer case, use a floorjack where necessary, and throw your tires under the frame as a fail safe if you're putting your body beneath the vehicle.

Love the fill tools! Holy cow have I been doing it the hard way all these years

4.56 and locker??? Siiiiiiiiiiick! That's awesome man!

I got so dang lucky!

A few tips: leave a bolt (loosely) in the top hole of diff covers and pry/drain the diffs. It’s easier to control them. Always loosen any fill plug first. If you can’t loosen/remove a fill plug, you don’t want to drain. A little Teflon pause on plugs will help seal them and make the easier to remove later. Be careful on off chamber and slippery trails with auto lockers. When axles are locked, the vehicle will have a tendency to slide down hill sideways.

This is all great info! Thank you!

Dude, I had Deja Vu watching you and another diff cover! Well, more like cover bolts ;) Glad to see you back at it.

[@CRAWLTV]

HAHAHA! I was having flashbacks myself!!! You have no idea how careful I was tightening these down 😅😂😂

[@paulemler1163]

Thanks for the link to the syringe!

[@CRAWLTV]

Definitely! That thing was a life saver!

Tip about draining gear oil from diffs. Leave the top bolt in the cover loose and pry from the bottom. The cover will come loose and just hang from the top bolt. Good video!

[@justinkostelecky6201]

Whoops, someone already beat me to it!

[@CRAWLTV]

Yep! I actually remember somebody giving me this tip about 10 years ago. I just don’t do this stuff enough to remember all of the good advice 😂

To make those diff services 100% easier get one of these, Motive Products Power Fill Pro Fluid Transfer Pumps. Worth it and saves a bunch of time not having to hand pump gear oil and transfer case fluids!

[@CRAWLTV]

I seriously wish I had one of those for this job! Pumping takes forever. Great tip!

[@SevenSlotSociety]

mmmm the forbidden chocolate milkshake!

[@albertpobre7101]

great video bro 👍👍👍

[@CRAWLTV]

Thanks!

[@Thexkidd]

Transmission drain, priceless. Don’t you want 35s?

[@CRAWLTV]

I’ll be sticking with the 33s! The other Jeeps that I’m going to the Rubicon with will all be on 33s so I’m trying to keep things equally challenging!

[@Rick-4552]

Do you still have the orange jeep?

[@TheHopetown]

Where did you get the OX diff covers?

[@CRAWLTV]

I ordered them from a website called ebobsgarage.com and talked to “E Bob” himself on the phone. Really nice guy!
