Maintenence - Lube etc.

Well after a nice little break, it was time to do a few maintenence items on the Jeep. First of all we stripped 3 of the 6 "nutserts" in the frame holding the transmission skidplate (crossmember), when we did the brake line work. So in order to cut, air chisel and grind the old ones out we needed to jack up the Jeep and remove the skid plate. Once it was off, we decided to clean off the rust, grease and dirt and paint it up. Looks better doesn't it?















Turns out we had to order new nutserts which took a week. So, while the Jeep was in the air we decided to change the transfer case oil, the transmission oil, and the gear lube in both the front and rear differentials. We also replaced the transmission mount since the old one had completely separated. In the picture you can see the gap between the rubber and the metal piece...they shoud be attached. Hopefully this will elimitate some of the clunking when you move off.
