That's so awesome seeing seat cover doing stuff like that. My mom use to make those chains and timing chains. Along with gear to gear and chain kits. She made them at Emerson in Ithaca ny. Closed and has been.....she was a machinists all her life. Seat cover......dont think u cant do anything!!!!!
My driveshaft bolts had thread locker on them, to release, heat the heads with a torch for a while then they came off easy. When you are removing the front driveshaft, put the transmission in Park and the transfer case in 4 Part time to lock the axle from turning when removing the bolts.
Only thing I would advise for Mara's benefit, track down some thick cardboard to lay on instead of using a wheeled creeper. I have long hair and have found that it likes to find the casters on creepers and become supremely painful to get out, and of course it tangles up when my hands are holding something not readily put down or when covered in grime. Since most mechanics are guys with short hair they probably don't even think about it.
I can confirm that I’ve never even thought of that, me and my dad use sheets of rigid foam insulation, it’s got some give and smoothes over stones and the liken
Eric , with your guidance she is doing just fine and i was surprised how clean the underbody was while you 2 were just working on it, she was just mudding in the last video if memory serves me correctly, i know those collars can be the weak links of a transfer case or sometimes they don't get engaged all the way and the end result is they can ware out prematurely and they are not built like to the same standard as your 1 ton wrecker transfer case is, its all good the final repair will not be too expensive unless on your further inspection a few more things reveal themselves, looking forward to the next video 👍
You have drank enough of the Snap On Koolaid already, treat yourself to one of their creepers with the adjustable headrests. It's a neck saver when you're under a vehicle. Good job Mara, getting in there and dirty. It's rewarding to be able to fix your ride, isn't it?
Actually that shift collar failing isn't very common, someone at some point was just bashing on it most likely put it in 4WD while the rear wheels were spinning most likely while stuck and the sudden shock from the front end receiving power probably chewed those teeth right off. I've had 2 ZJ's first one I beat on all the time and only had a starter and radiator failure...its still running around the valley after the current owner did a transfer case replacement apparently 232k miles was just too many for the poor viscous coupler to handle anymore abuse, I was surprised it lasted that long, those viscous couplers usually start to fail around the 150k mark in offroad use. My current ZJ I haven't had any problems with except at TPS a couple weeks ago, and $45 later it was right back out on the highway. Love the older Jeeps when you could actually work on them without a shop full of computers.
Yeah, I've never felt the need to shift into 4WD while flying down the highway. I think the fastest I've ever done it was maybe 15-20mph but that was on the highway not trying to go through mud holes where you should have been in 4WD before you got there LOL. I know the front end is always live in my ZJ, but still not very comfortable throwing that lever at any speed and I guess that's probably why I have never damaged a transfer case because I don't beat on them, much cheaper to just either stop, or be rolling very slowly when engaging and disengaging 4WD, even in those newer push button or turn the knob systems I'd still rather not be going more than a few MPH.
Well she’s too dumb to learn anything. They’ve made a lot of videos like this where she does the work. She’s always has to have someone there to hold her hand plus she doesn’t understand what she’s actually doing.

@@Docstantinople Agree. She needs to know her place on the trail and in the shop. Bad stuff comes if n when women get all dramatic out there. Know your place n have fun!
I believe if you want to drive you better learn to wrench on vehicles. Especially when its an offroad trail rig, can't just call out the mechanic when you are broke down in the mud.

Jeeps always need lots a shop time. That's why Toyota is my truck.
This is a clap-trap Jeep that they got used that the dealership wasn't able to sell to a normal retail customer. This isn't exactly the pinnacle of well-maintained goodness.

@@TWX1138 I hear ya..Its still jeep/Dodge quality. Sorry but U get what U pay for. 🙂 Have fun on the trail!
Funny, my Toyota was in the shop far more than either of my ZJ's ever have been. Rear axle bearings in the Tundra, and front differential bearing failures...2 things my Jeep has never had fail in far worse conditions than my Tundra was ever in...far from impressed with Toyota. I'll keep my ZJ, its been trouble free for 160k, and my previous ZJ was trouble free except for a starter and radiator for 232k miles of hard offroad bashing. Toyota's quality has gone downhill fast since they started making stuff here in the US....weird though my 1st gen Tundra hasn't had any trouble and has far more miles on it than my 2008 Tundra did when the bearing failures occurred. For Toyota pretending the Tundra is a 1/2 ton truck they sure cut a lot of corners in build quality.

I'll anxiously await part deuce!
You guys make great mechanical tag team. And you will get a lot of repair practice on the Cheap Jeep. (Scotty would agree)
It would be nice if you just had another transfer case to swap in...

That’s the first time I’ve ever seen the inside of a transfer case, glad it’s an easy fix
If I was that far in it,I would replace that chain too.
Rebuild it all.
personally i would have removed the fill plug first to be sure i was able to refill it after in case it was stuck in or stripped over.

Y'all are awesome
Mara is a good woman, if I'm not mistaken that's a pretty common part to fail and far from the worst case scenario, looking forward to part 2
i loved the 205 trans case all gear drive. but the only one I hate and still hate is the 205.
so easy to drop the case in these jeeps and it makes the work much easier.....
Of course there is a part 2 probably even a three.
Just rebuild the whole case while you got it open because you’ll be going back in it😖
seat cover be like, I only wanna drive, no repairing for me.
Excellent diagnosing, what's wrong with the Rubicon? Thanks for the videos...✌
Erick, Got a Suggestion on pulling shift forks so can pull them to access planetary and trans input?
You have drank enough of the Snap On Koolaid already, treat yourself to one of their creepers with the adjustable headrests. It's a neck saver when you're under a vehicle.
Good job Mara, getting in there and dirty. It's rewarding to be able to fix your ride, isn't it?
probably had something to do with the linkage I have had more weird problems from the linkage causing the transfercase to make all kinds of noises
split in the jHeep oh dear, I guess it works though lol!
Cheap jeep is turning into not so cheap.
It's got wheels, so it won't be cheap. Lol
Same with any vehicle you take out and beat the shit out of, things will break.
She got to learn sometime how to work on vehicles. And it's her trail jeep
typical 242 issues. you can swap in a 241DLD if you just shorten the input shaft
She's doing a helluva lot of gruntin under there.... hard to tell if she's havin a good time or not lol
Hey BSF, quick question for in regards to transfer cases, what is the socket size for the yoke nut on the NP 242
Why didn’t you take the hole case out ???
And that's easier than dropping the transfer case?
Just
Empty
Every
Pocket
I don’t understand it.
It's a JEEP thing!
