What did you do to your jeep today?

[PNWJeeper]

I finally got the wife's new key fob cut & programmed, now we've got a spare. Dang life was simpler before fobs!

Looks like I did something to the axle seal when I removed the CV and intermediate shaft the other day when I was replacing the suspension.

I noticed some oil on the fender liner, which led me to discover this.

Any links to good deals on that? every time I look into it I almost barf and keep hoping my single key never fails me or gets lost.

You get to take it all apart again and replace the seal. Upgrade to the roller bearing while you're there. It's likely the stock plastic bearing is allowing too much movement causing the leak.

I have the seals and bearings sitting in the basement, along with a limited slip differential for the front diff… I need a running Jeep right now so I think the option is to grab a used front diff from LKQ and upgrade it. Then I can swap it in later, and the Jeep won’t be down for so long. I was going to regear at the same time… I don’t have the gears yet and keep going back and forth in my head between 4.10 to get the Jeep back into the stock torque band for mileage, or 4.56 for towing power… (the KK can be geared that low).
