Huge thanks to Chris for coming out and lending a hand today. We were able to tear everything apart, and replace the leaking seal.

Right now the carrier is torn apart, and on my work bench. I am adjusting the cam spacing on my Aussie before I reinstall the carrier. I figured since it was already out, I might as well.

And a good thing I did. The cam spacing seems to be below tolerance. I am not sure why, I was pretty sure it was right in spec when I originally installed it... But I checked y measurement 3 time just now, and yup below spec... So I am going to fix that before putting the Jeep back together.

The fun part is, is that the Jeep is half hanging out the garage, so it looks like I gotta get this done before bed

Yeah, I was hoping to see you, but i didn't... I guess I'll be back tomorrow though. The bolts that TF sent with my diff cover suck, big time.

One of the heads was striped. And I just installed it!!!!!

I am going to take Manoj's suggestion and go grade 8... So, back to ACE tomorrow.

Yep!!
Funny story though for those of you with little boys...I kind of just take the Jeep and aim to see where she is going to take me. Well, we ended up close to a lake and recreational area that had some trails. I had a pick up pass me on the left and I could see what looked like dad and 2 boys, one in front one in back. They kept a pace in front of me and next thing I know the front seat boy has BINOCULARS and is looking at me!!! I hoping he would go away but they kept the same pace. I passed ahead of him in my lane thinking they would be done as the boy followed my passing with his binoculars. NOPE, dad passed me again and again with the boy and the binoculars. So I got BEHIND the truck and both of the kids were looking out the back window. Finally they got in a left turning lane, waited for me to pass with binoculars in hand, and I drove by them forever.

SO DAD's...I guess if you want to bond with your boys, have the binoculars ready for girls in Jeeps!!!

Those are racing stripes. Put some pin striping on either side and it'll become a fashion statement.
