Maybe put a front tire on a parking curb and take a couple pics next time you hit the Dutch Bros

Wish me had 1 16th of dat building

I bet @J Mack will sell you a time-share!

Put it on the lift to check the shackle angles before the pig party and thought I should probably change all the fluids at the same time...

 

[Megadoomer]

Nice to see you are going to make it to the party. Wish I could be there.

What’s the verdict on that?
Did you check your tire manufacture dates?
Don’t want them aging out during the trip.

Maybe we should have a shackle angle contest at PP25? Prizes for:
1) most optimal angle
2) worst angle
3) oblivious award

LOL

Thanks for making me relive the nightmare.

Probably a good thing I checked...

Something failed and filled this hub with gear oil ..

Found some Marlin axle seals in a box upstairs..

 

[WarDamnEagle]

I was looking for the correct axle seals on their website a few days ago. They don't list a 55, or at least if they do, I couldn't find it. Assume it's the same seal as a 40 or 60 axle?

Edit: Never mind. Guess it helps to read below the headline sometimes. Google brought right to the spot.

HD EcoSeal Inner Axle Seal, FJ40-FJ60

April 2011: We have now sold more than 30,000 inner axle EcoSeals, so we thought we’d celebrate by writing an updated tech article! Please check out the tech article below, and help us celebrate this…

www.marlincrawler.com

Applications include all 1979-1985 Toyota Hilux 8″ front axles, and all 1969-1/1990 Land Cruiser front axles including FJ40, FJ45, FJ55, FJ60, and FJ62.

Second Edit: Still not seeing a rear for a pig.

I machined the spindles to accept those seals..

I’m pretty sure thats a different shop than what i saw at PP19

 

[scrapdaddy]

The Diamond axle housing I have uses a inner seal at the diff side of the axle tube. One side always leaked, so I installed seals at the spindle side, also. No more leaks, just broken shafts. Glad to see you guys are coming.

Same shop just moved a bunch of junk around when I built the other building..

And I normally crop the pictures so the shop doesn't look so messy..

How about an update on your thoughts for the rebuild.
