Water back down, knocked out the clean up on 1/2 of the river bottom area this afternoon after work.

It was just under water. Snake?

Post tropical storm yard clean up action. Need to wait for flood to abate before tackling final 15% of yard down at the river level.

Just got this, a little late, considering it was from last year's Sand Blast 😆 Hi-Lift jack reinstallation complete 🤔

Yearly cleaning of my mom's 2016 Jetta, whether it needs it or not!!!

So, it's been a few days, and I have probably put around 300 miles on this Scrambler since the Dana 300 intermediate shaft swap. So far so good as far as any leaks, but being a Jeep and a Dana 300, I'm sure it is just a matter of time 😆

Doing some yard work.

I just did this last year on the 4.0 in my red Scrambler. Only advise, really loosen up the other main bearing caps, like a few turns each. I did that, mine came out relatively easy.

Quick test drive late this afternoon, everything seems good to go. I refilled the transfercase Sunday, Scrambler sat in the same place until Tuesday afternoon, no puddle. About 2 hours after test drive, no drips, yet. Will keep an eye on this 🤞 That's it for now.

I had to install the clocking ring as a spacer for the 300 to slide onto the AX15. Then realized, yes, I could get rid of that rear "hump" in the OEM skid, gain some belly clearance, still haven't done it 😅 I figure a few more big rock hits on the rear of that "hump" and I'll have a redneckray...

My home made gasket installed, seems to fit well. Being cork, I like it more then the typical thin paper gaskets used here. I used the Aviation Sealant on both sides of my cork gasket, thin coats. I used the hardening sealant on the one cover through hole, and on the drain plug threads...

Put the rear driveshaft back in, interior back together, didn't feel like waiting until tomorrow for a gasket to arrive, so bought a sheet of Felpro cork gasket material and made my own Dana 300 inspection cover gasket. Traced the cover, used a 5/16 hollow punch that fit through the covers...
