I treasure having seen FZ while still in my teens. My mind was permanently enhanced.
Apparently Moon and Dweezil were not equally treated by FZ's widow in the will and have no rights. They both have gone on to do dad proud.

My paint guy was a real tool.
Mine missed the area under the glovebox along the a pillar. I got what I paid for.

Soon.
I'm going to take care of all that before I hit the ski slopes this year. The t case is coming out this weekend for a rebuild, while I have room I'll scuff everything up and hit it with some epoxy primer and a layer of monstaliner, then a liberal coating of FF.

I got what I paid for, and it was free. Or me.
Driveshaft vibrations beating up the t-case bearings? Shims under perches?

Driveshafts are all good, I do have shims front and rear, flanges seem to be pretty close to parallel with each other. T case needed gone through 10 years ago, leaks like an old diesel generator. It does seem like the front adds some vibration when I'm in 4hi, and I do spend some time in 4hi driving up to the mountain to ski.
It's been on my list to rebuild for the last 5 years at least.
Time for an Orion?! Maybe an H55 in front?! LOL
I was going to say, double Cardan-type mailorder rear driveshaft, an axle rotation to dial-in more of a constant velocity driveline from t-case to pinon, and skills to lay some molten metal at the location of spring perches.

I could buy a stack of new skis, fly rods, and other goodies for that kind of coin!
Yep. Same here!

H55 and orion are not compatible, h55 is better with a 38mm split-case and 4:1 gear $et

That won't go back in as easy I bet.
A big thanks to @cruiseroutfit for the rebuild kit, less than 48 hours and it was sitting in my garage.

Nice! Yea thats awesome, should be easy work for you to rebuild it. Definitely way easier and cheaper than the other options. That will be nice to scuff it up & paint the underside of the tub while it’s out, I cleaned my T-case & painted it while it was out too. Paint makes it easier to clean the grease & oil off every now and then, and added the case saver to it, not sure that I really explore the full potential of cracking the case with open diffs but it was cheap insurance.
