i just changed the oil at 2K. It was black, but not bad. At the same time i changed the diff oils. The jeep registers 45K miles. This is the second diff change. i did most of 1 bottle of Lucas and 2 bottles of the called for gear oil.
i first changed the rear diff oil. The drain plug had quite a few shavings on it :( The oil was also quite milky although i didn't really recognize it until i changed the front. The rear diff has a breather hose off the top that snakes up near the body. i am imagining getting some water down that breather. Which also makes me realize that breather should be inspected to be clear. Going forward i'll change the rear twice as often as the front.
After the rear, i changed the front and it looked great, a few shavings but nothing out of the ordinary.
i need to rotate the tires and then i'll be ready to schedule my Unlimited Offroad appointment to get the drag links updated and an alignment. i plan on replacing/upgrading the steering stabilizer at the same time.
We tried out our new dash cam! i created a custom duct tape mount for it that works awesome! No i didn't tape it to the dash. i spent time creating a paper lined holder. The Galaxy Note works just plain bad ass. It's not just a camera while driving, it also runs Waze which is very cool. Check out a sample video on YouTube. You can even hear the drive shaft rub the exhaust as the wheels come 3ft off the ground and the front axle drops down.
