Supplemented by a beer in my hand and that's exactly how I would look if someone asked me to help with regearing! op2:

 

[Notajerryskid]

Oh so frustrated. Set up the gears.... Double checked every thing, so I thought. Gotta take the rear back apart. Fine under power, but coasting is very loud. Not good.

Damn that's not cool! Think it's a matter of measurements? I don't know the first thing about gears.

 

[Notajerryskid]

I don't think the back lash is set right. Oh well we live and learn.

 

[Notajerryskid]

Booooooooooo.........

I bought my Jeep last December and I noticed the e-brake didn't seem quite right. It didn't really hold unless I pulled it up as far as it could go. I thought it just needed adjustment. When I took the Jeep in to have the axle seal replaced (yes I somehow blew one early on) I asked them to adjust the parking break. Well they had to replace it... I am wondering if this is the same issue. :crazyeyes:

I had the same thing and they told me everything was fine. :crazyeyes:

 

[Notajerryskid]

Yea, after looking into it. the ebrake handles are weak on the JK. Bad design.
