    Dont let used engine oil go to waste

    Dump your old engine oil in your frame using one of those old style oil cans to get it into the holes of the frame. I have done this for awhile on the jeep. Keeps the rust from progressing.

    Chewn through axle seals danna 44

    I put a 4 inch lift kit on my jeep tj. I didnt install the transfercase drop... so i do have driveline vibes. Would that cause me to eat my axle seals in the rear? Because i have gone through 2 now in the period of a few months since i put the lift in.
