Ok... time for an update....


Found these for a steal... 32 bfgs. Only thing is I need to find two more which I hope to get very soon.





Also got my Yakima towers for my roof rack in the mail. I used a 1" stainless pipe that I had laying around for the crossbars. Cut them to 52'' long for a perfect fit.





Now to step back and enjoy.







Also, did i mention I mounted them myself!!! Lots of DW40, soapy water, a couple of flat head screwdrivers, prybars, and a small towel to serve as a rim protector. I did get a couple of dings on the aluminum rims but they are minimal. Saved me a couple bucks, now i just need to balance em...

Next on the list
- Small BD lift
-Armor

 

dude those tires look sic, very nice

 

^ Thanks, I like them too.

Well here's a problem that has been surfacing for the last month or so :










At first i thought it was brake fluid but that checked out alright. It seemed like a mixture of grease and oil when i pulled the drums but could not locate the leak. I cleaned all the grease/oil and a week later it was covered with it again. I now know it's the wheel seal since the diff was low on fluid.So yesterday I popped the breather and cleaned it hoping the seal will do its job again but no luck.

Now, I am not sure if I should just replace the seals or seasl and bearings considering they have 298,xxx. I know Marlin has a special on the whole kit. Any input is appreciated.

 

Bump, No suggestions?

 

Although I was not able to get any input on this, I bit the bullet and ordered Marlin Crawler's Rear Axle Service Kit:



The kit contains everything necessary for both rear axles.
Marlin's Oil Seal:



After taking of the tire and drum I found this:



A little penetrating oil and it should be good to come out:











The old bearing had a good amount of play, but it is no surprise considering they are the originals with 298,xxx miles!!





Out with the old:




And bring on the new:













I also replaced this



with this:

Bled the brakes with my own invention:

Taking out the trash:

 

that dual exhaust is pretty sexy.

 

is the dual straight pipe?

 

Thanks, the only complaint: i have no room to attach a bumper!

Nope, It's got a cat followed by a glasspack. Straight pipes would be too loud, even with the glasspack it's a little loud.
