Holy crap this thread is about me and my truck! yep i'm deff
more nervous about playing in water now!!! that front axel job was miserable and would not have been possible without CruiseOrlando's help! thanks carter!

I've never heard of the ballon trick on the breather ! any threads about that?

Transfer case leak is pissing me off. feels like i will never get around to putting this lift on !

My dads 2010 FJ seems to be sealed water tight . He sat in deeper water much longer than my truck with no ill effects so far

Tech session, 6/30

I realize this is double-booking against the Ocala date, but priorities demand...

I talked with Luis - we're going to have a little tech session up at his place on Sat 6/30 to fix one (maybe two?) transfer case leaks. The important one is on Justin's 80 - he's leaking like a stuck pig, so it's the most important to fix. The problem is a rear oil seal in the transfer case, which apparently requires pushing out the shaft with a press in order to get to the oil seal. Depending on how it goes with his, I might also do mine. My leak is minimal compared to his, however.

That definitely has potential

Sounds like an even trade? Your BMW = my 60?

Water is a bitch on mechanical parts. On my last TACO and my last TJ, I checked differental fluids out after every 5K when I did my oil. Basically drain them and look for chocolate milk. No chocolate milk, just refill and FIDO. Chocolate milk, break the seal, clean, and service. Preventative maintenance is the key to longevity in the mud.

Archie , you're not old enough to ride a bike . Maybe in a couple of years .

She's fast and fun, I really have hesitations about selling her.

You can always get another dog, it's ok.

I must detest! There is no such thing as "just another dog", and certainly not right getting rid of a motorcycle (unless for a fster motorcycle), however trading for a nice Landcruiser might be forgiveable.

Let us know if it works out tween ya'll.

Oy yeah, and welcome!

Bear in mind the main concern was to equalize pressure to help with water intrusion. Do a bit of reading to see if it a solution for you. Looking up difff breather bellows will give you lots to read about.

Quite right, my dogs are family

Is anyone still going to make this? Get the transfer case done Friday night?

 

[Bret]

So fix it Friday evening so you can go wheeling Saturday?

 

[FloridaCruiser813]

I get off late friday but I'd be willing to drive late and do a night tech to go wheeling saturday . but its my truck that needs fixed and I'm thankful for those who are willing to help work on my truck so they pick the sched

 

[CruiseOrlando]

Working late at night = no fun. And getting started at 9PM? No thanks

 

[FJCRAWLER]

I'm lost here .

What's goin on , night tech session ?

Luis's house did what ?

We're goin where Sat ?

What ?

 

[FJCRAWLER]

Bret are you ok ?

What are we makin ?

Get what transfer case done ?

I think I need a beer so I can figure this out .

 

[FJCRAWLER]

New Guy Welcome !!

I'm the drunk of the group , can't wait to drink a beer with ya around the camp fire .

Archie you can't get rid of the 60 . You let it go once and it came back so it's your's forever .

If you love something set it free . If it comes back to you it's your's . If it doesn't come back to you it never was .

You understand now , ya'll two are a unit . Like smoke and fire , Mutt and Jeff , Beer and Beer well you get the meaning .

Settle down Rocky!

I'd promoted a tech session for the ham radio stuff on the 30th at Hard Rock. We didn't get a tremendous response, and then Justin (FloridaCruiser813) decided he wanted to blow out the rear oil seal on his transfer case. So I talked to Luis who graciously agreed to let us go up there on the 30th to fix the seal - apparently you have to press out the shaft, and I'm not sure if I have all the right tools. I'd rather be in good hands in case we get ourselves in a bind.

My transfer case ALSO has the same leak, but I'm only dropping 1-2 drops a week, not a 1/2 quart a day like Justin is. So if his goes well, I might also do mine.

Bret suggested we do a night tech session on Friday the 29th so we could go wheeling on the 30th, but since Justin works Friday, I don't think it'll work out.

Better?!?!?!
