@@jergernice1 it could have, could have been a weak point in the ring or pinion from manufacturing. Hard to say, if a bearing goes bad and it over heats then freeze up. But yeah i think you will be perfectly fine. But just so you know with a 37 the proper gear ratio is a 4.88 so kinda sucks if you just spent money redoing your gears and you could have put that towards the proper gear ratios

@@dab0yhdizzle you should be, they look amazing on JLUs. Like I said just take it easy on the throttle, as slow as possible and as fast as needed. Every time I have seen some one bust something up, it’s normally from bouncing their rig on a hard throttle that wouldn’t have got them up anyways. A lot of time it’s the drivers fault and not the rig. A lot of people over build because they rear it’s needed and blah blah blah, but none of them actually ever test it out. So I wouldn’t stress over it. Later down the road if it was my jeep, I would do ball joint deletes and the FAD delete with a RCV axle on the front. But I don’t think it’s needed, unless you’re doing some crazy rock crawling.

How is the ride on the highway--at 60-75MPH? Does your Jeep feel sketchy at that speed? What I mean by that is does the jeep feel "planted" at the speed without excessive wandering (wind/bumps) and "over-sensitive" steering where the jeep feels sort of "swayey" at speed. My 03 TJ feels that way with 4-inch RC X-lift, HD track bars, steering stabilizer, 35-inch tires etc...,. About the only thing not upgraded is my steering (still stock) which I believe is the weak point now and is contributing to my "very sketchy" highway manners. I would never let my young teenage daughters drive this Jeep because it is a handful to keep pointed straight down the highway. Does your Jeep TJ feel like that? Let me know--thank you
@JeepTrailsandBarbells2 ай бұрын
No, mine does not do that at all. 70, it runs smoothly, even at 80 i have no issues. What i would do is make sure that your drag link and track back run at the same angle. If they dont have the same degree, then you will get bump steer. So if you have a drop pitman arm but your track bar wasn't relocated or visas versa, you will have issues with that. Also make sure your track bar is adjusted correctly, if you disconnect one side then jump up and down on the bumper drive it back and forth in tbe drive way a few times then see if the track bar goes back on with no issues, if it doesn't, then adjusted it to were the hole lines up and reinstall the bolt. You shouldn't have to fight the track bar into place. If that isn't the issue then i would definitely upgrade the steering and chang out the American Iron ball joint deletes. They take about 500 miles to brake in and you will have a very "wondering jeep" for the first couple 100 miles, but after that you will have 0 issues. The ball joint deletes, and steering made a MASSIVE difference with my on road and off road handling. But first check that drag link and track bar first, then the track bars position, then go for steering and ball joint deletes. If it was mine that would be the order i would go in

Lots of good information and tips in your video thank you. I image manufacturers use a crush sleeves instead of a solid shimmed sleeve as they will have already determined pinion depth exactly with the accurate factory gauges and shimmed the pinion accordingly. So it will go in to the housing once only. The crush sleeve is then quick and cheap for the factory to torque/preload up to specification probably with automated tools. For the garage mechanic the solid shimmed sleeve is the way forward changing an oil seal in the future becomes easy.

@JeepTrailsandBarbells3 ай бұрын
No, you won't need it for a 3.5. What happens is the CV boot on the drive shaft binds when the axle travels, which puts the boot in a bad position, causing extra stress on the rubber. So over time, it will start to crack and then your bearing will start to dry out and need to be replaced. We do all kinds off rock crawling and max out our travel and have only had to replace the boot once so far. Its only 30 bucks on ebay to buy a direct replacement. I have a video of my replacing one its a really easy job. But you wont have to worry about that for years to be honest. Now if you go up to a 4" or bigger then the u-joint style drive shaft would allow much better articulation without any binding, but thats only if you are doing some crazy off roading. I hope this helps out.
