We are glad you found this helpful

We are glad it worked out for you.

Those are the gloves that I had on hand. My wife likes silky, smooth skin next to hers. Good gloves help reduce the mass at the end of the day.

We finished the trip on 1N64A off from 1N09 from Angelus Oaks

That sounds like a throw out bearing to me. Good luck

It could be the throw out bearing, but hard to tell right off. Can you put a few more miles on it and see if it goes off the charts, or starts to settle down. It could be just a little rust on the clutch plate. Kind of like wet brake disc. If it goes away after 5-6 miles of stop and go, shifting type traffic it is probably superficial rust.

The bad bearing will squeal like a pig. Or just kind of grind.

@@jayfitzgerald7423 will do! I uploaded a short of it idling in neutral while one of my guys pumped the clutch if that helps. I have only driven it 7 miles since it started, just hoping for the best.

@@Diggin-off-the-side Good luck, I look forward to hearing good news.

Yeah, That is my test to see if the clutch is holding up. And, yes I normally start up in first gear, running 33's it is a good idea to start low. If you can't take off in 3rd then plan on a clutch as well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. And good luck with your rides.

You are very welcome. Happy Wheeling, LJ is so much more Jeep than the TJ. The exrta 10" works wonders.

Dave, thank you for your encouragement, and you are welcome. Hand on tight and keep it right side up.

Funny thing...other than the challenge of getting the pillar molding snapped back in there, it took me about 10 minutes to get my roll bar cover zipped back up. A little WD40 and help from the wife really helped! @@jayfitzgerald7423

To test the clutch put the jeep in low gear and try to start off easy. See how it goes. Now put it in second gear and try the same. If the clutch slips in second or third gear the clutch is bad. If the jeep stalls out then the clutch is good and is holding up well.

It is normal to have some, up, down, left and right play at the end of the shaft. There is a needle bearing in the clutch housing the shaft rides in that straightens it all out one assembled. My centering bearing was in good shape so I did not replace it. I bought one to have on hand, the are only $10 or so. You can clean the junk out of the bearing and put a little bit of grease on it. Basically a wet finger of grease, no more, because that grease will work its way to the fly wheel and clutch plate if you put too much. Good luck. and Thanks for watching

@@jayfitzgerald7423 thank you so much for the advice! Dang, I hope I didn’t put to much now. I appreciate you Sir, very much. Thank you.

You’re welcome. I’m glad I could assist you with this project.

There’s no gasket between the transfer case and the transmission. It’s a dry seal shaft to shaft. Thank you for your question. I hope this helps.

@@jayfitzgerald7423 it does thank you so much. Great video!

Thank you for your positive feedback

Thank you for your positive feedback, and I’m glad it worked with your TJ

Thanks for your feedback and good luck.

Thanks

You are welcome, happy Wheeling

I sold the Jeep last year. But it worked great while I was running it.

Great to hear!

Todd, I spent a little time up north and have had to deal with rust for 50 years. There is never an easy fix for rusted hardware. Without the winch on the YJ I can see some of the nut for the center mount. I guess it would be best to shoot some penetrating juice on the nut and bolt before you take it apart. But once you break it your best bet is to drill it out from below with a smaller bit and then try to drill out the remaining 1/2 bolt. Good luck.

Oh I’m gonna cheat and pull my grill,

Thanks!

You are very welcome.

Glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful!

This is an offshoot of the yellow post camping. There was a make-shift fire pit, I am not a big fan of campfire is SoCal so we always use a stove. It was a nice place to hang out for a night. Great views and cool breezes.

@@jayfitzgerald7423 great! Thank you for the reply. Are there a lot of offshoots on the way through? I’d hate to have all the yellow posts taken after a drive up and be stuck with no other easy options

Pretty Good, We were up there earlier this week, most of the winter snow it gone once again. Fun in the mud now.

I am not familiar with the hunting in this area. It is a popular outdoor area near Big Bear.

Finally got the fender flares on. Yup gotta publish the video. Thanks for the encouragement.

Thanks, Time to play in the snow now.

Thanks

Thanks 👍

Thanks
