[@dirtymuddyweekends]

That's cool! Thanks for tuning in, mate!

[@marksmith3631]

Great to see the "older" guys taking the time and showing the young blokes how to do this sort of stuff. Priceless life skill. Loving the Jeep build. Giving me some bad ideas tho

[@ethanmcleod8819]

My advice as someone who’s owned several Jeeps and worked on a many of Jeeps, get rid of that front axle 4 wheel drive actuator. Take it and the two piece shaft out and replace it with a blank off plate and a one piece shaft. Those split shaft and electric actuators are the first thing to go. I’d trust a wet fart before I’d trust that electric actuator hanging off the axle

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks for the advice, @ethanmcleod8819 . :) Appreciate that!

[@81clive]

This jeep is going to be a monster 💪.....DMW👌

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks Clive, it is an absolute beast, mate! Thanks for tuning in. :)

[@Fitzy6722]

farout mate, alot of work in those diffs. Can’t wait to see it wheeling👍🏽👍🏽

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks @Fitzy6722 .

[@6226superhurricane]

you can use a tube on one side of the spreader and a thread with a nut on the other. or if you want to get really flash get two tie rod ends and the adjuster sleeve off a car. i wouldn't trust a porta power not to stretch the housing as you only want to spread the pumpkin a few thou. and don't worry you can get the centre in and out without a spreader if you had to do it in a pinch. also the stock axles are crhomoly, but unfortunately the australian ones got cv axles not the stronger u-joint axles. so you could upgrade to genuine spicer u-joint axles and get rid of the centre axle disconnect (cad)

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Great info. Thanks for sharing @6226superhurricane. Cheers!

[@toddmarvosh4105]

If you put a box end wrench on one of the ring gear bolt. Rotate it till it hits the top of the case. You can gently rotate it out with a prybar. 60% of the time it works 100% of the time. Then just use a dead blow to reinstall.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks for sharing that @toddmarvosh4105

[@MrChippy04]

Get yourself a US made aluminium tie rod and drag link you’ll never break them

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Thanks for the advice @MrChippy04.

[@krisolof7998]

Haven’t touched revolution gears for the JT but for the JK and newer Jeeps we try to only use Spicer gears as they use a newer 2step hobbing process over the older 5step that cheap aftermarket gears use. Generally faster setup and never a noisy set. Turns out the guys that designed the diff make pretty good parts for it. I’m at 80k miles on one and 65k on the other with no issues with the center axle disconnect but if you are worried Dana/Spicer does sell a chromo replacement 1 piece long side shaft.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

That's great. Thanks for the info @krisolof7998

[@jasonja1981]

Is this the same diff that you broke in the high country?

[@skeeterbuildsit6016]

Ole boy is like 7ft tall!! 😮

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

He is tall, that's for sure.

[@joelfrancis5391]

7/10's good enuf 😂 ya ruff bastard haha mus b a prick of a job, ole mate wasnt keen to go again

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

😂

[@Alwaysgotafighterschance]

What diff ratio you end up running? 4.88?

[@piscosour2012]

Get used to working on that "heap"...

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

😊

[@AussieDazza]

100 000 km zero issue with our Jeep. 🤣🤣

[@cricry]

Did you do a dana 60 swap?

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

Not yet @cricry

[@cricry]

@@dirtymuddyweekends considering how Reuben drives, might be a worthwhile investment

[@WrongTurnAdventures]

Hahahaha. You're learning the #Jeeplife well. The teeth are going to leave the chat anyway so don't waste time.

[@YanDoroshenko]

I wish my dad taught me how to weld. Unfortunately, the only skill I've got from him is the only one he's a master of - being an asshole.

[@dirtymuddyweekends]

That's a valuable experience mate. Never too late to turn it into a positive. ✊
