I redrilled my spring perch today and moved my rear axle back an inch and a quarter. That got the rear tires away from the rear doors. I trimmed the back of the rear fenders. No more rubbing! I did notice 90 weight all over the drivers rear wheel well. Axle seal is shot and I've got some play in the bearing. So going to replace the axle, bearing and seal.

Well tonight I took on the axle, bearing and seal. Getting the old bearing out kicked my ***! I'm glad I decided to go with a new axle! I figured I had it tore down so I replaced the idler arm as well. My purple mini monster is back on the road!

Took the purple mini monster up in the hills to get out of the heat. Ifs with aftermarket keys doesn't flex! I need to remove one spring out of each side of my rear packs. I also need to get a locker put in the rear.
