    HELP! Front passenger axle seal + grinding

    CV joint on the transfer case end of the front driveshaft looks fine. No tears no grease not a whole lot of movement and spins freely. No tears in the cv boots on either axle and no signs of grease. The only issue is the fairly robust leak from the axle. I am hoping that maybe the seal is...

Looking underneath there is a pretty good leak from the passenger side axle seal (showing part # 5066066aa).

    Need help identifying ball bearing

    Appreciate the help I am leaning towards ball joint press as well. I just went outside and the ball bearing drops right into the shaft with no issue. I will verify when I take back to the store.

    Turbo Timer for CRD

    Jeep Tent vs Pop Up Trailer

    I have had the tent that connects to the jeep and I think it is awesome. My wife and I would sleep in the jeep, and use the tent to change, sit, store gear, etc. I never had a problem with the tent leaking. It really depends on what you are looking for.

    Roof-top tent

    I have one. It is pretty nice to show up and be set up in 5 minutes, plus leave the bags in the tent when you pack up. Biggest pain is taking it on and off as it is a 2 person job, but worth it. http://www.car-top-tent.com/page.asp?id=3
