Axles

When I replaced the starter on my Jeep I used one for a 1982 Jeep Grand Wagoneer with a 360 V-8. The battery that I replaced I used one for a 1979 CJ-5 with the 304 V-8.

I now have to replace an axle seal on the driver side front axle. I had assumed that the axles were also off a Grand Wagoneer because few vehicles came with both Dana 44's front and rear axles; Jeep Grand Wagoneers and International Scout II's. The possibility of it being Jeep axles was ruled out by the bolt patterns for the wheels and tires and the location of the front diff. Jeep was on the driver's side and International was on the passenger. Mine is on the passenger side. Jeep also used a 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern and International used 5 on 5.5. My wheels and tires are 5 on 5.5. Furthermore, my Jeep has disc brakes in the front and Scouts only came with front disc brakes from 1974 to 1980 assuming that my front axle doesn't have a drum to disc conversion.

I have a pic posted of a Scout II front axle that has been modified to be put into a Jeep CJ-5. I have the same modification on my Jeep.

Something else that is interesting is my OX Locker Manual for my front axle is for a Jeep TJ (1996-present) rear Dana 44.

Tires still off.

FREE! GAS!

I received this gem in the mail the other day.

Car Salesmans/Dealerships have gone so far as to send me advertisements, or rather Belinda newspaper clippings claiming "buy our car/truck and we will buy your gas for a year." There was no return address on the envelope and I have no idea who J is.

Hail Stones. Take Two.

The storm hit at around midnight. Honestly, I thought someone was breaking into my house because my north windows were busted out my hail stones. I was having flashbacks from Socorro from a few years back.

First Stuck

It has finally rained enough in Hobbs to take my Jeep in the rain. I was throwing donuts in 2wd and high centered the rear-end. I short pull from a GMC 3500 and I was back to my old antics.
