So, I just purchased/renewed my OHV Permit from the CO website, I was still in the system from the Buena Vista National. Do I also need to purchase a "sticker" when I get to Colorado?

Removed the other axle shaft u-joint this afternoon, all four caps were dried out. So, I reckon it was a good idea to take a look at all of this stuff. Much easier to address this in the garage as opposed to the trail. Still can't fathom why both of these u-joints were dried out? Both...

To nice to spend all day in the garage so took this one on a 2 hour goof off drive this morning.

Hardly any Jeep work today, but I did remove one front axle u-joint, because sometimes you just got to know! One cap completely dried out, the grease in the end of the cross was thick, no grease left around the needle bearings. The other three sides were fine. Not really sure what...

Almost 4 years, a little over 40k miles, figured it would be a good time to repack the front wheel bearings. Parts removed from one side. I went ahead and removed the spindles to inspect/repack the spindle bearings, so also pulled the axle shafts. I was kind of surprised to find that...

Front wheel bearing/spindle/axle shaft/brake maintenance and parts replacement, been about 40k miles.

Gravity bled all four corners, then two quick rounds of the old "pump pump" bleed, good to go. Back on all fours again, finally. Took it for a 20 mile low/variable speed/no load test drive, and then back home again to let the new differential bearings go through their initial heat/cool...

Almost finished!! I always like to clean the backside of the tires/wheels when they are removed, especially after doing any type of maintenance. Any new leaks will be easy to spot. Got the rear flex line installed. I installed the lower axle mounted "T" block pointing backwards compared to...

I ended up using the O'Reilly's lines. I used these lines before, on my old Tan Scrambler with a 4.5" RE lift, so knew they would work here, as well. I like these lines due to the metal tube on the caliper end. Even though this line is NOT for a Jeep CJ, it works well. I did have to hand tweak...

Frame end of lines, details of bracket security. OEM style, clip on both sides of the frame bracket. Thinner clip to the outside groove. Thick clip to the inner side of bracket. The two OEM style clips. On the Rubicon Express lines, the the larger hed head OD prevents line from...

Brake line time now, lots of choices!! From top down: OEM sized NAPA lines Spare set of Rubicon Express extended lines InLine Tube extended lines Some O'Reilly's lines for another application Ended up using these lines from O'Reillys, about $130. Same lines from NAPA were close to $200, so...

Not too terrible, old front caliper brake fluid. Pulled each caliper off, left bleeder screws in, filled caliper up with brake parts cleaner, drained, repeated, clean calipers. That's all the piddling for tonight.

Piddled some tonight. Triple checked all five line connectors for tightness. The forward, vertical fitting is the PIA. It takes a 9/16" wrench, but when the valve is bolted to the frame rail you can not get wrench around the fitting. So, loosen valve, tighten fitting, rescue valve. Ran the...

I've been knocked out of commission the last few days with cold/flu/covid/sinus infection, will wrap this up once I'm better.

Pecking away at it. Fished the mounting plate behind the valve, loosely started valve mounting screws, started the clip bolts. Once the clip bolts were started I tightened up the valve mounting bolts, then the clip bolts. Those clip bolts are fiddly, leaving the valve/plate loose from the...

Put the original clips on the new master cylinder to proportioning valve lines: Dropped them down from above, threaded them into the proportioning valve. NOTE - I have kept the proportioning valve loose, NOT bolted to the frame. I just let these two lines run wild up top for now. I...

Used this hole to run the line through the frame rail on the passenger side. Line looks good under/behind the grill, bends and length look great here. Too bad it won't be seen here! So, four lines installed, three to go. Re-attached the front grill and fenders, happy with this progress...

Ended up removing the under engine tube brace to make routing the new line easier. Reference pictures for me. Routed the passenger wheel well end out first. Not too fiddly, not easy, meh. The bends and length here will work out perfectly. Line fits tight at the passenger front corner...
