Removed the driveshaft, lowered gas tank, removed driver's side hardline-to-brake-cylinder line, contemplating removing axles and third member.
I'm doing a pretty detailed 'once over' in anticipation of being able to go for a week-long wheeling trip :fingersCrossed:.
Anyway I am making more work than I needed but I'm trying to weed out the weak links.
Driveshaft removed to install my very fresh one with recessed grease nipple on draveshaft-to-third member so as not to whack that off on the first outing.
Lowered gas tank to install wedges to shift the tank over to the passenger side by about a 1/4" so to minimize military wrap rub. Might make a stainless steel rub plate (very thin from scrap stock) to either minimize the possibility of contact with the tank.
Driver's side rear hardline rubbed on axle housing and don't want a trail surprise.
... and thinking I should remove the third to reseal the air seals, the third itself, axle seals, and maybe Stainless air lines... and finally put my remote diff breather line.
Thank God cars don't eat parts up as quickly.
