I was going to work on getting the front linked this winter, but I have things to do at the house that take priority. (read as lack of $$$$$)

Cleaning up wiring and replacing starter 😉  maybe if I'm motivated maybe add some nitrogen to my shocks to adjust ride hight. 

On the 05 I just want to drive it as much as possible which I'm failing miserably at

Nope. And it never acted up again after that weekend. I think it was over heating

Spent a couple days over the past week of vacation and got to better organizing the garage.  Still have acouple house projects to wrap up, but the jeep is going to be a priority this winter.

I'm probably going to rebuild my rear axle :).   Or swap in new ones, whichever is easier.

I need to figure out the clicking sound that happens during higher torque takeoffs from stop. It seems like its coming from the t case. I know its not my rear drive shaft clearances but maybe the rear drive shaft is to short ? almost like its pulling out of the SYE housing? is that even possible ?
The temp fix is I have 440 lbs of sand tubes in the back of the jeep (02' TJ w/ 4" Nth long arm lift converted to 6" with springs and what not... )
The sand squats the ass end down and eliminates the issue. Im thinking of cutting the front and rear springs to lower it down 1". I measured the height difference  of sand and no sand and it is exactly 1".  Sooooo yeah. I think Im going to borrow some cameras, mount them underneath and make some videos and hopefully see exactly wtf is happening before I chop springs though.

I probably should figure out why my links keep spinning and fix that.
