Here are a few of my favorites:
It's about time I posted mine. A few vids too.http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v1...008/?start=all
From the the top of Crow Hill on I had a very loud howl on any kind of coast. I nursed it back by going as slow as I could so I could keep a bit of gas on all the time. It sounded like the worst pinion wine you've ever heard & I figured that that's probly what it was but it was so loud that I thought maybe it could be the t-case or even tranny. It really sounded like it was coming from the center instead of the back. Corey told me the frst thing I should check was the pinion nut & sure enough that's what it was.
I think I know why it came loose. The rear yoke was changed last year to a differant size to accommidate a normal sized u-joint & I bet a "new" nut was not used or even loctite. I could be wrong though. Bahaing the jeep while in low every chance I get probably is what caused it to come loose a lot sooner than it might have though..
A "new" nut, loctite & Corey & his air gun & everything seems OK now. However the locker sounds like it was just put in again.
I got it on a group buy about 4 years ago on Jeepforum. Hambeck Customs made it. The buss. is mow Malibu Designs in Cali. It's carbon fiber & was only $650 at the time of the GB. They are now over $1500 in CF. FG is probably around $800. However if you like it that much you can get a copy in FG on ebay for around $300 + shipping. I think it was CWM on here got one & he was pleased with it. It had to be prepped before it was painted.
