Spent the day doing a tear down of the birfs on the troopy, got to love birfield soup. The drivers side had a bunch of play in the wheel bearings so I decided to tear into it. Bought the rebuild kit from Kurt about a month back.
Took about 5 hours to get torn down, man I hate conical washers. Headed out of town for the weekend so I will have to get it back together next week. Going to have the local hose shop build all new rubber hoses for the front brakes as the OEM hoses are mighty hard.
Finished the rebuild of the birfields today. I decided to do all new rubber brake lines and got some new Asin lock outs from Cruiser Teq as the troopy was originally a full time front axle. No reason to move all the extra parts when it has a part time transfer case. Should help with gear and bearing wear as well as maybe 1/4 of a mile better fuel economy.

Eat my shorts Colorado! Another 80 stays on the road!
Not too bad for an original 32 year old motor, no rebuild or replacement. It does help to have chicken-$h!÷ tires on it for rolling resistance.
