Well done. Good practical tech. I had no idea it would be that simple. FWIW, I had no problem with the music and sound, but I was on a computer with earbuds. Keep it up.
Awesome! Good to know. Tbh, the software I use to edit just updated and now allows me to adjust volume within the song to make certain parts louder and certain parts quieter. So that will make it way easier in the future regardless. But thanks for the support!
Solid work there. Good Job!!!
Thanks for the support!
Awesome video buddy! 😎👌
thanks for the support!
Clean the drain plug before cutting! Great advice. I battled a microscopic drip for a month before I opened it up and rewelded.
Heck yea man! I have made the mistake before. It happened. Crazy frustrating for something so simply overlooked.
I agree with you 100% save that money for other parts. Especially over .25 of a inch.
Heck yea! Too much that we can spend money on that gives us a better return in my opinion.
Perfect timing. I'm looking to do the same thing on my jeep soon!
Awesome! I’m glad it will help! Thanks for the support!
@WarPaint question about the drain plug, good as it is, don't have to weld around that area correct? I know the bolt hole you need to weld, but the actual plug itself. Thank you sir
@@chuckieswickedgoodfab so I tighten it. Shave it. The. I weld the bottom where the plug was cut…and inside the diff on the other side of the plug. Then on the bottom I grind it flat…
Some people also put a thin layer of RTV over the weld on the inside to just give it some cheap insurance…but after that…you are good to go. I hope that answered your question.
@@WarPaintOffroad absolutely did. Thank you that is absolutely what I was looking for. Thanks again for great videos. I go back all the time to reference these, really appreciate the time you put into them. Thanks again
TMR 15 bolt kit is $450 with filler plate and diff cover. Not bad if you don't only have a thin OEM dif cover.
Not bad at all. But the 13 bolt shaved don’t have a thin diff cover either. They are also aftermarket and 1/4 inch thick or thicker
Nice work man. On an editing note, you might lower the volume of the background music a bit. I was finding it a bit distracting when trying to listen to you. Looking forward to the next video for this build.
Thanks for the help and support! Are you watching on a phone? I have found that depending on the device..it sometimes isn’t bound enough and other times it’s too loud. I don’t know what causes that to happen. But I’d rather it work for every device or even be a little on the low side. So I’ll definitely do that in next weeks videos! I’m just curious what device you watched it on.
Great job.
Thanks for the support! Regearing videos are coming very soon. Probably the week after next.
Nice video. 15 bolt “full shave” kit from TMR is $450. But it is a lot more work and requires a particular welding process.
Yes! And some people take those kits and then bring them to machine shops for the cutting. Not totally necessary. But they do and it’s costs a bunch more. The. Some kits are even more expensive. Plus the machining for the ring gear. So it adds up.
I wish I could do a 14 bolt but 5x5 bolt pattern. It’s such a cheap axle and so easy to work on. I just don’t want to do tons lol
Yea! I understand. It’s really not to bad as you’ll see at the end of this build when I talk about the cost breakdown. Especially when you sell your current set up to offset the cost. But at the same time, they aren’t for everyone. I’ll be doing a “Pro and con” video next week about tons. People always talk about the pros. No one really talks about the cons.
I think I’ll just put bigger tires on
