Finally got all the parts together for the front axle. 4.11 gears, bearings, seals, u-joints, and LSD installed. Also replaced the front cover with something a little more durable that has a drain plug. It's all fancy now but it shouldn't take long for it to be the same South Carolina clay color as everything else under there.
Then turned it around, put the rear in the air, and stripped it. It's getting the same treatment, gears, locker, bearings, and seals. Hope to get most of the assembly done tomorrow evening. It's a good thing this was already in the works. The driver's side axle seal had already failed and soaked the shoes. Super tempted to throw a disk brake conversion on there while it's apart.
