Reading around, I think these are graymarket things. Made for the Indian market, but brought over here for sale.

I bought some loctite on Amazon. In hindsight, I probably should have stuck with my local parts store as one of them expires in 6 months. On the plus side, the bottles are huge I'm not sure what angle they were going with one of the bottles having a sharpie marking out what I believe to be tax...

I've got a bottle of loctite blue and red, but I have no idea how old they are (maybe 10 years or so). I can shake them up, but if you tip it over it will run out like water. I bet that these are just too old and need to be replaced. I'll pick up some blue and green. Any experience with...

I'd like to get a bottle of threadlocker to throw in my offroading bag, but it looks like there a bunch of flavors out there these days. Essentially I'm looking for a single threadlocker that will do most of what I'd want on my Jeep. Does anyone have opinions on which one is easiest to use? I...

I'll have to look at that. I installed a belly up skid system and used the factory transmission mount (with exhaust hanger). This caused the exhaust to be an inch or two too high. I ran like that for a couple of years before cutting and re-welding the exhaust hanger. I bet the muffler was...

I've never wheeled at night, but one of these days I'll do it!

I wouldn't drive without a safe trackbar. That bolt is what keeps the axle centered under the Jeep. Never tried it, but I think that if you didn't have that bolt, when you went to turn the wheel the jeep body would move separate from the axle. If the bolt was only held on one side (i.e. no...

I'll wait until tonight, park on top of the parking block and turn on my rock lights.

I took a drive to the grocery store (does that make it a grocery getter?), and everything sounded great. I think I'm good to go.

One thing that I wish my head unity would do is work with the Torque app. It's a cool OBD2 reader that allows you to make dashboards and monitor stuff - just the GPS speedometer is pretty useful in itself. You should see if that works with your head unit...

I think I figured out the best way to measure the angle. Right off of the face of the flange. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

Man, I appreciate you pointing this stuff out! This video did a good job of explaining things. He said that you'll want the pinion to be 2, maybe 3 degrees under the shaft, like you said, so that the axle can rotate a tiny bit. Assuming I'm measuring the angles correctly, I think I'm good...

I don't trust myself to have videos playing while I drive. I'd put it right into the ditch.

That is a captive nut. Without that flag / metal bar connected to it, it's much more difficult to get started. Here's what it looks like You're right that the bolt is probably rusted to the bushing sleeve. If it were me, I would throw my impact on the bolt and just send it. You could...

In looking at the photos again, I need to shorten the lowers a bit. not the uppers. I was trying to make the problem worse...
