Hey guys, so I'm swapping axles in a little bit and I was wondering if y'all had any ideas on some side work I should do while my new axles are out?
Besides getting them coated and putting on new breaks of course
Thanks for the help

Good time to open them up and change the fluid and to check/replace axle seals if needed.

Add lockers? Much easier when the axles are out

Drill out the holes in the pinion yoke so you can use u bolts rather than straps on the ujoint.

I was gonna do lockers but since it's my daily driver I want to keep it how it is. It I will definitely do new seals...I was also thinking new breaks u joints ball joints and hub assembly
