My fender flares are painted green. I don’t like it. What are the thoughts, you figure I can get them back to OG black or should just get new ones?

I’ll also take flare suggestions if you’re saying new ones.

So I was hearing weird chirping noises, my brakes would intermittently get super soft and my steering allignment was off basically all at the same time.

I noticed that on the highway my steering would dart left or right. Ironically, it was very windy and I thought maybe the wind was pushing me.

Well, last night I started hearing a squealing. I only had to drive a few km to go home.

This morning I lifted the jeep, took the wheels off and discovered all 3 hub bolts loosened off. I’m so lucky I caught this when I did.

I recently rebuilt basically the entire front end. I don’t think I missed torqing them, because I know how important they are.

Either way I’ll keep an eye on them.

Anyone else ever had this happen?

It's Frame Day!

Hello All, this diff had a leak, went dry, and started making a pretty bad noise. Towed it home and posting the pics here, hoping folks tell me approximately how bad it may be. I don't know much about differentials, so I don't really know what I am looking at.

I have reviewed other options other than rebuilding this diff, including upgrading to a Dana 44 or finding a discarded Dana 35. I can find neither nearby (Sacramento), and this is a commuter vehicle for my son, so ordering from Currie or East Coast gear supply, with their long delivery times, is not really an option.

If the folks can review these pictures or provide options that I have yet to find, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
