Spray the crap out of everything with a good penetrating oil.  Make sure you torque the flange nut when putting it back together.  The flange may be hard to remove, I've found that a strong air hammer will usually drive them off.  Other then that, it's a pretty straight forward repair.

If you weren't 6 hours away, I'd be all over this.

Technical Advice and Questions / Re: LIFT KIT

I personally am not a fan of body lifts.  With a 4" spring lift, you should have more then enough lift to clear 33's.  If it was mine to build, I would do a spring over lift with the factory springs.  There is realistically no "wrong" way to build a Jeep, unless you're lowering it.

Paul -
Just because you are not locked doesn't mean you can't come out for a blue run with us. You should be OK on the blue trails and if not we will give you a hand, there are also bypasses for harder sections of blue trails.

I'm not afraid to drag it, I just don't want to be somebody's trailer all day lol.  I'm not opposed to a strap, that's what they are for.  I'm still learning the limits of this junk as I venture out more and more.  I know it hates mud.  But she likes rocks.  I'll put up some pics of where I go this weekend for comparison.  My last rig was locked f&r with 4.56.  I'm still getting used to open diffs again.  I'm watching for the next blue day, and trying to make plans to come out.  Slowly but surely my wife is turning towards the dark side...

How many in this group are locked?  I'd love to come out for a blue run, but judging by the pics, I may be under equipped with just a 2" bb and some 31's on open diffs.

I looked in the AllData and couldn't find a procedure to disable only the passenger side.  As you stated, pull the fuses and your better off.

Limited slip rear? If so, then yes .  It requires an additive at least.

You should be on, as long as there is enough material to cut.
