For what vehicle? I thought the locker cured the 100 front diff issue??
What are you working on?

I like the idea and I'm onto something similar with a guy local to Richmond. Will let you know what happens with it.....
The 200

If you have 4:10's now, I do not think 4:30's would be worth the effort
4.10s would be nice, I have 3.9s stock. Would jump to 4.88s but supposedly the 4.30s are perfect for 35s and it's direct bolt in for 5-600$
Did you find a parts truck? i am needing a non rusty rear hatch. Or alot less rusty than mine lol

The deal fell through sadly. Will keep you in mind in the future though.
Snazzy gas strut lifted hood now! Opens a little wider too. No new holes in the truck, just drilled out a couple rivets to harvest that top bracket from the pretty wimpy factory spring. Only hiccup is that it wants to be open so bad that the secondary release is a little tight.

Super nice! I just screenshotted another thread of this before seeing yours. Look forward to seeing in person I already have the struts to do the project!

Basically new steering system in the 100. The rack was replaced by the PO about 5 years ago so. I should be good for a while.
This wasn't as easy a Job as I expected. Getting the old lines off and the new ones on the rack side were a real pita. Also the vacuum switch that goes on the pump needs to be super tight. I was afraid to wrench on it too hard and atf was pissing out from it when I started it. It was fine after I reefed on it though.

Next up. valve cover gaskets. They are basically an emergency. While I was watching it run and looking for atf leaking I could see oil weep out from the vc and hit the exhaust.
I'll try to tackle that this weekend. Pray I don't break any.

with the proper drill and bits, all can be done in the engine bay. Try to clean the backside of the lower bolts with a brush and smear some grease on them to help lube them out. work them in and out.
Oh and cut the ps lines and use a ratcheting wrench.

Thanks. I'll do that.
I used a crow foot for the ps line. It worked but wasn't fun

Saturday my buddy asked me to help him move a shed. Seemed like a dumb idea but I figured if it fell apart it would be entertaining so I said sure.
It actually went really well.

I’ll be out of town on my bumper retrieval / work trip next Tuesday, but glad to show ya any time. I looked at a few of those posts too. The HJ61 body holes in the engine bay were a little different than the FJ posts I saw. That changed a couple things, but otherwise a piece of cake.
