    I got tired and called it quits for the day. Everything is back together except for remounting tires, adding new gear lube, and test driving.



    If all goes well I should be able to make the next run. 👏

    Did you put some full circle clips on the joints?

    hmm, no. Is that an easy fix or would I need to pull everything apart again?

    (I think I know the answer based on the history of my jeep projects 😢 )

    I don't think you can without doing some grinding on the yokes

    Yeah, according to this article the yoke needs to be shaved a little.

    So, should I go for it, or leave it as is? 😁
