-----------------------------------------------------------------------


changed diff oils yesterday, rear wasn't too flash but still OK axle seal is gone but not gonna bother replacing as ill do the bearings and everything at once otherwise the new seal would have just flogged out.

doing the gearbox during the week, been told by the local mechanic that the jeep boxes like trans fluid, fully synthetic along the lines of DEX 3.

anyone heard of this?


other than that, the heim joints are being ordered tomorrow from Drag Tec Customs (facebook them, they're great)

and have just purchased a set of 4.5" rubicon coils thanks Mika.

once the coils and joints get here i will be doing a bit of a working bee, on the list is:

Coils
All control arm busch's and joints
Steering Dampner busch's
Panhard busch's
Engine oil
Fix Transfer Leak
Rear axle bearings and seals
front brake pads
extend bumpstops all round

once thats done ill just be driving it for a little, saving coin and then will order some shocks and bumpstops.

still tossing up as to what shocks and hydro's to buy, any input is great!

going to get front and rear truss from Fatz Fab here in Rocky, he did my old half cage and was a great job! very impressed and good price too!

cheers

coils arrived thanks Mika, was easy to changed the rears, just flexed it up and swapped them out.

Have a look at the kink in the old ones!
but had to disconnect the shocks in the front and then just jacked up the high lift.
The old dobbinsons were 6.5"coils but had dramatically sagged.





have been told the joints and panhard busch's will be arriving next week and once they are in i will order poison spider bonnet and then shocks and stops.
