Just thought I'd share… I went to a local mobil station and passed inspection today with a small lift, 34s and rubi flares that mostly cover the tires I was a little worried that I'd fail for tires (had 32s mounted before), but it's all good.

Thanks for the advice. I ended up using sockets for the inner seal job. I was lucky to have a complete large socket set! Since I sleeved the D30 the metal part of the inner seal is barely smaller than the inner sleeve. One socket worked to bang it out, but a socket 1/16" bigger or smaller would...

I'm replacing my leaking dana 30 inner axle seals today. What's the best way to knock out the old seal? Should I use a piece of black pipe from home depot? Or, a big socket and lots of extensions? And, any advice on how to press in the new ones?

I remember Eve being there on my first Baystate run too. All smiles, laughs and flip-flops. It's shocking. Rest in peace.

Cahhhl - I had a heck of a time getting my pinion nut off today. I ended up heating it a few times with a MAP torch until my impact wrench finally broke it free. Also, I picked up a pinion seal and a new nut from the Crown outlet in Canton for a whole $7.

I ended up ordering them through Elia's for $50 more than the cheapest on-line price I could find due to MA sales tax. No need to stuff a set of 34s into my wrangler for the drive over to get them mounted. 2 week wait on delivery which isn't bad

Hey guys - I'm thinking of buying 34 x 11.4 Super Swamper SSR tires soon and in time for the PA trip this Spring :dance: They will be a second set to my 32 x 10.5 ATs which I'm keeping for inspection, road trips, winter driving etc.. Any opinions on the SSR tires, or any reason to stay away from the...

Holy cow. You might need to invest in one of these... or a trail ladder

Would this work? I can't exactly remember what your have under the hood, just that there's stuff everywhere

I've been pretty happy with the MORE steering brace. It's beefy and fits good. They offer a different one for your year.

That's awful Frank - I'm sorry to hear that. I'll be praying for her and the families of those affected.

I'm okay, but my neighbor's Subaru directly across the street from me was flattened. No one was hurt and we never lost power.

I use Clayton coil retainers which are beefy bolt on discs; cost was $39 with shipping. They give you 2 pairs that are meant to clamp the lower and upper part of the rear springs, but I used them to clamp down only the lower part of all 4 springs. http://claytonoffroad.com/product_info.php/products_...

I'd start by checking if a relay is stuck on, and if so, whether it's shorted at the input or if it's just a bad relay.

I've had good luck running a FlowKooler pump for the last 5 years, and I believe they're made in Cali. You should get it in 2 days if you order it from Quadratec.
