    Its me again... Ugh.. When we returned from Australia, I mean MOAB (it just cost as much as going to Australia so you can understand my confusion). I parked the Jeep for a week and didn't even look at it. Today I decided to check everything out and see how we are looking for this summer and all the wheeling fun to come. The first thing I noticed was the front end was making noise and after further inspection realized my driver hub assembly was seized to the axle shaft. Meaning even with my hub unlocked when the tire turned the axle shaft turned. I also noticed some play in the assembly. Taking it apart revealed lots of crud, dirt, rust, and water. I've never seen a stream I didn't want to cross or a creek I didn't want to forge. I guess it has caught up to me. Looks like I will be ordering a new hub assembly in order to get the front end going again. yeah me.. :(
