Clint, I feel your pain!!!!! I just finished my frame a week ago. Fortunately I am doing a frame-off so getting around is easier, but I still...
Patchy, I buy most of my parts from Krage Motor Sports at http://www.jeepdoc.com/default.asp I bought drums from them and the price was...
Patchy, A note about your front axle. Most likely you have a Dana 27 front end. The drums and hubs are held together by swaging of the wheel...
I just finished my frame with Rust Bullet. It's tough, goes on thick, can be applied with a brush, and is really tough. It will not be affected...
There should be a small spring going around the lip of the oil seal. This spring should always go to the 'fluid' side of the shaft. I have never...

The other day I made a comment in error, overstating the similarities between a 225 and a 231. I really did appreciate some of you catching me on...
OK guys, I really started something when I said the later 225's are 231's. Forgive me, they aren't exactly the same. I actually do have a 231...
