Changed out the diff fluid today, front was like honey, looked newish. The rear was black. From what I've seen on the forums, the rear was expected to be dirty. Both magnetic plugs were full of sludge. The process, for those who haven't done it, is as easy or easier than changing motor oil

So how soon and often do you have to change differential fluid? I’m awaiting my Jeep and manual to see what they suggest but I know this group knows better.

I thought I had seen 20,000 miles but I believe the manual says every 15,000. I mostly do highway and light trails occasionally.

I have the upgraded m220 lsd axle and I know I've read multiple times that if you take care of it, it should last a while but will fail. At that point I'm going to put in a locker of some sort.

Hard Rock 4x4 Sliders.

No issues getting the body bolts out. The passenger a-pillar didn't have any lock-tite on it. Driver a-pillar had red and b-pillar and c-pillar had blue.

Are the rock sliders just as strong with the windows down, as they are when they're up?

After having it for over a year, I finally got around to installing Rusty's track bar bracket. Got it sometime in 2019, but golf kept getting in the way. Better late than never. Easy install, but the top steering box bolt by the coil springs was a pain in the ass.

Here are some better shots of my Jeep with Mothers CMX ceramic spray —right before it started to rain... :CWL:

First time I use this product. Will definitely use it again!
