    So I am stalled out for the install. The guys at NAPA cant figure out the unjoint strap needed with this new yoke. so I will be a few weeks before it goes in.
    I have to figure out the resize issue so I can post pics.
    as well I am now at a hight that a SYE kit has to go in so I dont have a bind up issue, and end up busted.
    so here comes a weekend of work after the holidays.
    This is also forced my hand to get the skid plat done as I will be pushing the engine and drivetrain up to create clearance under the belly. yet still keep the low stance.

    So my TJ has reach a point where it needed some stuff.
    I have years of the 4.10 type has 3.73 in it now and is just not the right gears for the 33's.
    Reat gears are of the JK variety, the JANA kit will put these into my D44
    Rear Yukon grizzly locker
    Front carier for the diff just in case it has 3.55 but the manual has the 3.73......
    Front and rear master install kits rear has the crush sleeve eliminated
    Front brakes are get rotors they are due so some upgraded rotors an pads
    Rear New drums and shoes and hardware
    Steering pump has finally gone enough.....so a PSC replacement will go in as well as a good sized cooler to,keep the type u,see control.
    Front axle seals are getting the treatable type
    And some synergy ball joints
    And front unit bearings just a touch of play so 60 bucks for the,pair and they are getting done.....

    Pics,will come,as,parts come,in.

    So I had a long weekend of stuffing parts into the jeep.

    The Jana K4 kit:

    This was to be quality parts.....
    Well the set up bearings were tighter fit than wide bearings for the carrier.....grrr!
    Had to source bearings on a 3 day weekend!
    Next the install says the solid spacer was to be .450" well not some much.
    I was sent a spacer that measures .410" so to start with I am all ready short .040"
    Next instructions say start with .100" of shimms, hmmm that would be nice.
    Kit arrived with .080" worth of shimms crap....

    I got to spend half my day building a custom spacer to replace the one I payed for....

    the rest want in nicely after I was able to get preload and depth set right.

    I evidently have a vent axle shaft....made it worse pressing the bearing back on after replacing the seal. This is most likely the culprit of my oil leak..
    So axle shafts will be coming this week.

    The Yukon grizzly I got needed the bolt holes drilled to 1/2 this fast and easy.

    The front was a pain to get out...but I was able to pull the bearings, hone them out to be set up bearings, life is so much better this way.
    Front diff in an set.
    I install ed a set of ten factory Greasable axle tube seals.
    The ball joint were not totally wasted, but they were poping some.
    So synergy manufacturing got the funds for these parts.
    Greasable lowers....sweet
    Replaced the unit bearings as they have 129, 347 miles on then.
    And for $60 for the pair done.

    The slight jump in gears is not totally evident but the low gears like reverse.
    Will see how it does on the hills.

    I got some turning radius back as this locker has good amount of give in it.
    Granted it has like 15 miles one right now....

    Ask all in all a long weekend but it's mostly done.

    Still have steering pump to do, a steering cooler to install as well 5/8"engine lift to install, build trans cross member to bring the t-case up 5/8" as well.
    Build a new skid plate as well.

    Bummer about the missing parts. Seems like quality parts are a hard find these days, but it seems like you pulled it all together nicely. Ha! Saw your sig. "All I wanted was a pepsi, just one pepsi! " Ya, Im from that gen.

    Dig deep it to your pockets
    Make it hurt
    How much you makes no difference to me.
    How much you give is your,own choice
    But for me it's the difference between a porch and Rolls Royce

    Got to love ST!

    Any how ya my weekend was kind screwed as someone else made big misstakes.
    Grant it I didn't measure every thing when the box showed up.
    So my bad there but dam man, pay a guy 9 bones for a kit he puts together you would think the stuff would be right.

    So I have talked with Carl Jantz himself about the issues I had with his kit.

    The solid spacer was being made by an outside manufacture.
    Carl has gone through his parts on the shelf.
    Of the 50 he has on the shelf 3 are out of parallel.
    They very from .410 to .430 has 5 that were correct.

    The shimms are supplied from Revtek or Yukon seems they change the amount of shimms on a regular basis.
    So he is going to be building the packs himself after he recives them from the supplier.

    The bearing was NAPA giving him the wrong stuff....

    So in all things will get better with his stuff.

    Mine got done and works nicely.
