You need to "go blue!" obviously the Army doesn't pay you enough. I know you're being sarcastic, but a trip to Florence is always a good investment.

Default inch pound torque wrench

I'm just about done getting my axle back together but I didn't realize how difficult it would be to find a inch pound torque wrench (beam style). I drove all over town today looking for one with no luck. I'd like to get it buttoned up this weekend. If anyone has one I could borrow or knows where i can pick one up let me know. I just need it to set the preload on my pinion bearings.

By the way Nitro axle sleeves get the from me. Just make sure you get them in while the axle tube is clean. Here in AZ we don't really need to worry about rust, but the housing I got was from the northeast so it had a little rust in the tube. Didn't realize how bad it was until i got the short side in too far to back out. About 3 hours of banging later it was in! For the long side I ran a wire wheel, with a long homemade extension, through the tube. After that it was only 10 minutes of pounding and done. If your jeep hasn't seen salty roads the sleeves will tap in with minimal effort if you freeze the sleeve and heat the housing prior to install.

Check the front drive shaft and make sure it has plenty of grease. If you have aftermarket shafts make sure you are greasing the center ball of the joint near the x-fer case. You'll need a needle fitting for your grease gun to get to it. Mine made the same noise which then turned into a loud roar when the joint finally gave up. It sounded like it was coming from the front suspension area until I hung out of the door while my wife drove up and down the street.

So wish I could join in this weekend, but already had tix purchased for the Ralphie May stand-up show in Phoenix. I recall pics from the last Elvis trip and definitely want to go and play on all of the rocks. Have fun, and like James said, no crying. Over the obstacles and not around them. I wanna see pics and vids bitches! \m/
