The sliders are another arcworx product! I can’t take credit at all! The first set wet on a 100 series!
Ok so the sliders are a weld’m yourself kit?

Edit: I went to Arcworx sight and don’t see sliders. ???
 
Painting in the dark again. I seem to do this before every trip

I got the transfercase popped open again last night….. nothing seems all that wrong. The bearing on the input shaft needed to be pressed down just the tiniest bit because the snap ring wasn’t totally snapped in and I found that the last owner used a puller on the out put shaft bearings and they’re a little funky… but that was like 80k miles ago and they seem to be wearing fine.

My best guess at this point is that the rear springs finally made the rear sit high enough that the rear driveshaft is super unhappy. I was reading some threads last night and they seemed to mirror my issues 🤷🏻‍♂️. Any ideas?
I'm late to this (it's been a busy month or two and I still have one more eye surgery to finish off in a couple of weeks) so maybe all good now in Montana? However, there is one more simple cause and simple solution to this sometimes perplexing issue.

Too much grease in the slip joint. Solution is to take off the zerk and exercise the axle around the block a few times. Reinstall zerk. Never had a sloppy axle, but one locked up like this will exhibit virtually same symptoms. I did this the first time I serviced my FJ55 back in the day. A little is good, more must be better? It is surprisingly little that will cause such a racket.

I gave that a shot when I was messing with it, it made it better but didn’t fix it!
 
Are you going to Moab and Sand hollow or just Moab ?
 
The trails seem more challenging, IMO the SXS’s are tarrying them up. 🤷‍♂️
Still a blast.
 
I didn’t take any pictures but the passenger side is fully welded onto the truck and gussetted! The driver sides legs are fully welded on.

I have to finish the sliders, reinstall the headliner, and clean up some odds and ends! I leave for moab on Friday!
 
I’m surprised that you didn’t integrate new sliders into the rockers.

I like having them be a consumable! And I’m building a regular cab pickup to do the really really rough stuff anyway
