Welcome to Wayalife

Could be that too, just couldn’t remember if that fully disables 4WD.

Sounds like an issue with the FAD (front axle disconnect). Check the plug and wires. If you had a lift recently installed, the wires need to be freed up from the frame a tad or they will be too short and get pulled on causing damage.

I've never used a spreader and do it by feel but, you should have to tap in the shims. You can get a good feel for preload as well when pulling it back out. It shouldn't be crazy tight but have some decent resistance coming out. I'm sure you may have already done it but with the Dynatrac 44...

I need to start proof reading before I hit send, starting to sound like Bob

Starting depth is usually .042 on the JK is usually a good starting point and going up from there. I’d actually just try getting closer to .006 backlash before pulling pinion shims if you can. And definitely redo the pattern doing what @CalSgt said. Adding pressure to ring gear really helps lay...

Phase 2 lol

Bummer Bummer!! Glad it gave out closer to home. Let me know if we can help out in any way with the gears 👍🏼

Nope. I’ve had it like this for several years actually

Ready for some desert fun! Looking forward to seeing everyone 👏🏼

Nice job Ben! Looked like a nice time with your son.

Saw this new video about PSC Steering and some of the history of how Tom started it all. Pretty school stuff.

Probably whiskey??? 🙄

Heck yeah dude congrats!!

Definitely super close. Pinion shims make big changes using small amounts. So .037 to .045 is a big jump but, you are spot on with first too shallow and .45 looking a tad deep. Try taking out .003 to get closer to .042 and see what that does. Backlash is good.
