fo-runner

Condition is great. I notice some grease/oil leakage up front at both ends of the front axle. Any ideas?

Rebuild the axle.... new seals / etc. You can buy the rebuild kits from marlin crawler or trail-gear.

Also, the diff breather may be clogged up.

Axle oil seals are shot.
You need a knuckle service kit.

other than engaging the 4 hi/lo, what's a good way of gauging the 4 wheel drive? i plan to cruise over to the beach soon and hit some sand. before i do .... need to make sure i can get out!

My 22r feels like pig but then, I would say 98% of cars I drive are like this...

Which means I need to get my own race car
