Trying to remove the plugs to drain by gear box oil, but for notting that thing moving....

Do not want to round it up but the 1/2" drive has a little play. Any one changed theirs them self? What did you used to remove the plugs?
Thanks.

[termite]

carry it to mig weld a nut. I did mines last week.

I ordered the original drain nut from N&M, will let you know the price

[SNIPER 3000]

Hey, what type of oil did you use?
75w90?
How many quarts did it take?
Thanks.

[termite]

I think I used 5 quarts on the gear box. I bought amsoil MTG GL4
for the transfercase I used Castrol Dexon / Mercon (2 quarts)
for the front and back diff I used 3 quarts Mobil LS
Don't forget to clean out the magnet on the drain plugs

just an update on my "issue"

bought aftermarket locking hubs, they came with the drive clutch built in

[Paullct]

niceeeee!

[lighthammer]

excellent... any noise still?

[tr1ad]

noise is gone, changed all wheel bearings as well as the needle bearings behind the wheel hubs
all bushings / shocks & mounts changed as well

total cost of all parts - 6500
the manual locking hubs cost 225 usd, with overnight shipping to mia, 500tt to clear in the skybox

[Paullct]

wheels and tyres looking so nice in that pic boss

[tr1ad]

might go in flat black when i'm painting over the van........

[Paullct]

NOOOO!

the polished look suits that style of rim perfectly!!!!!!

[tr1ad]

not with the colour i want to put the van in

[Paullct]

okay

[tr1ad]

polished wouldn't go well with a matte silver

[Paullct]

yes it would! don't do matte black with that wheel!! you WILL regret it!!

those wheels are so original IMHO and going matte black would only take that away

-my $0.02

[tr1ad]

gimme a $1.00 instead

[Paullct]

I'll give you a dollar to leave them the way they are and just give them a good buff and polish

Rims and BFG without a lil mud hoss, how yuh wicked so, like yuh wah the transfer case and front diff oil turn to grease, lol


Btw good job on the fwh, that's a good upgrade, even tho the rugged ridge can't take extreme pressure, I'm sure they will suit ur needs and driving style perfectly!

[tr1ad]

BFG will be coming off soon and parking up or sold, they are really small

Hankook DynaPro ATM RF10 are in country

[sliderz1]

sliderz1, yeah from the rear. What's the different spec model?...is the locking up an issue or it is expected?

you'd more see these on the Pathys




btw to the guys that know, i painted the underside again, the silver paint took a beating from offroading so black for now.

[sliderz1]

and then this..... $800 installled by Advanced Auto. substitute though

[droppa]

wackerman orrr??????

[sliderz1]

yeah dred.
after some beatup he did cover the cost minus the tint though

[nervewrecker]

Bess tires, excellent grip on wet & dry, good tread life. Worth every penny, would be a very good buy and $6400 is a good price.
