Whats do these accomplish?
Keeps the spring from popping out of the seat at full drop.
Left town for a family beach trip with my in-laws. Had my Dad take the 80 to @Jboyd ’s shop for #GSMTR prep. So excited. May have to cut the trip short and get on the trails at Windrock earlier than planned.

Got my 4X4 Labs rear bumper installed. I can't speak highly enough about Luke and his team at the shop. All super nice guys and they even loaned me one of their shop trucks to take into town for a few hours while they did the install.

I have a problem with 40s
Getting closer.
TBH that skeeves me out. Gas goes outside. Always.
Finally took it on some easy muddy trails over in Broken Bow, Ok. Cleaned top and bottom as soon as I got home. 
So sweet
Who's shock tower mounts did you use?

lspv delete, ABS pump delete, new extended brake lines installed. Just waiting on the new master cylinder than will bleed and test out the now functioning brakes.
I'd go ahead and replace that brake booster while your in there. Looks like it has seen better days.

Ruff stuff, the taller pair they offer. The lower shock mounts they sell are nice the way angle up to not catch on rocks when backing up or coming down

Man I know? I tested it and it specs out per the FSM. If they didn’t cost $800
I would have already ordered.
Hi Folks,
I'm pretty sure my rear main seal is leaking. I already did my upper pan arch seal and it's still leaking in the same general area, so I'm pretty sure it's actually the rear main. Do I need to pull the whole drivetrain out to tackle this job? Has anybody dropped just the tranny? I've also read that pulling just the engine is possible, but quite a chore compared to pulling engine/tranny/tcase together. Having the engine on a stand do do various maintenance sounds wonderful, but if I can just fix the rear main with as little ancillary work as possible, that would probably be the way I go. I have a tendency to bite off more than I can chew and leave projects unfinished, so I'm nervous about anything that will take the clunker off the road for an extended period of time. But I also have a pretty low tolerance for dripping oil on the ground (at my house or out in the woods).
What would MUD do?
