On the left we have the front inner axle seal spreading its luv & on the right we have a power steering pipe Spreading it's luv too.
On the bright side at least it didn't happen on the road & I have a spare pipe for the power steering pin hole but i will need to get the axle seal fixed at a mechanics.

WOODERS ??????

Poly 4 X4 will help you out with seals if Wooders can't. Best to get two and send it to a mech who has the press. I think I know one who would have the right tool, Richard is his name AKA ozjeepster. You probably know him anyway.

Yeah last I saw in Sydney they are only paying 10c per Kg so only worth it if you're not paying to take it to the tip.


So we spent New Years with Eclectism on an unplanned camping trip in Yalwal NP. Went on a lunch trip to Old Burrier trail and Mackenzie's lookout turned to a "let's check out Mint Bush Trail and Wombat Flats Rd" then got dark before we knew it. Decided to call it a night before heading back avoiding Monkey Gum.

so I was thinking mud monster was on its last legs, has been some very strange noises last few weeks got really bad and had bugger all power, after long investigation I noticed soot on one of the coolant hose just above the water pump (diesel guys will know which one) pulled the intake pipe off and the heat shield noticed soot every where, looked at where the turbo bolts to the manifold and was covered in soot, turns out all the bumpy roads ive been driving on had rattled the turbo bolts loose, bolted it back up and problem fix

no need to refit the boost controller, 15psi just don't cut it for me its too sluggish back to 25psi
cant over take cars on stock boost

Haha nice i finally fixed my issues too still yet to do that bloody tansfer case, the weird front axle issues seemed to be caused by the original transfer case

replaced the bearing in the rear tire carrier arm, was in bits the bottom race had corroded away completely.
was told my radiator was cactus by the radiator guy, so getting a new one, this failed heat exchanger has cost a pretty penny.

Best mod I have ever done, not to mention the fact my old bushes were well and truly overdue for replacement anyway!

Well i've been after an Airbox to Throttle Body hose for my 96 XJ to replace the big plastic resonator thing sits atop my TB at the moment. I saw one online at a wrecker yesterday arov and said to the gf can i go and get it now and of course she said no so i thought i would go get it today. Traveled the 45 min. out to the wrecker and got there at 11:30. Went in there and i couldn't find the damn car where it was spose to be except 20 vacant car spots where cars had been removed. I was like don't tell me they took it away this morning, so i went to ask bout it and just as i thought, they told me the crushed it bout 2 hrs earlier. OMFG, if only i went yesterday. So i just went straight to the Jeep dealer and bought a new one. If she complains bout the price i'll just say well if you had of let me go get it yesterday...
