Doors came off this weekend. Found these telescoping side mirrors on ebay. . Built a lift in garage for the top. Turned out pretty good, but need to get a better crank.

Mark, can you PM me the cost for the dual seal? So I can paypal you. thanksFirst, you need to try pushing up and pulling down in the driveshaft at the drum. If there is any play, no seal will last. The preload on the main output bearings is out of spec.
If there is no freeplay, you should still consider the dual seal upgrade. Plenty of threads on the subject. I’ve made it a standard procedure in all my rebuilds and services for the last 15 years. Not had one complaint.
If you need one from me (it’s in Section 090 on the website) please note I am closed until May while I take care of a backlog of commitments.
Pulled the rear diff cover off last weekend to take a look while I was changing the gear oil.
The drain plug had a normal amount of fine metal shavings..I don’t think anything to worry about.
As you see in photo, ring looks to have some normal wear.
I gear that I circled did seam to have a good bit of play in it. I could move it up and down maybe 1/8”-3/8”.
Is that normal?
Did take the time to clean it up and put a good coat of POR15 top coat..

I got it......broke screws. ThanksStarted replacing the gutter on the hardtop today since top is off. PITA! EVERY bolt was rusted. Had to cut almost everyone of them off. Can someone chime in on the top back piece?
Are those studs? Replacement ideas?

Thanks! It’s been fun and trying at times...lolVery impressive work. I've been subscribed to your build but haven't been getting alerts. Re-subscribed today
The rear hatch header has 4 hidden M6 weld nuts in that area. So no it shouldn't be a stud.

He's a Mud Member, and they worked fantastic for me once I got them installed correctly. Makes door swapping extremely easy!
Good luck!
PS: Love the rest of your build
