Jeep LJ one ton Build Series, 14 Bolt Tear Down

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video starts with an introduction to the main project: stripping down Dana 60 and 14-bolt axles. The presenter then transitions to unboxing and reviewing new tools purchased from Harbor Freight. These include various 'Icon' brand ratchets – a flex head half-inch drive, a short half-inch drive, and a 3/8-inch flex head – as well as a 4-piece pick set. He compares the new 'Icon' ratchets to his existing 'Bostitch' and 'GearWrench' ratchets, noting the superior feel, tight mechanism, and robust build quality of the 'Icon' tools. He highlights the appealing packaging and the significant discounts (40-50% off) he received on these tools.

Goal: Introduce the axle disassembly project and unbox new tools for the workshop.

What is up? We're back [music] in the garage. All right. So, last time I left off, I was stripping down the Dana 60 14b axles and we're almost there, but we're not. So, I'm going to show a little bit of that today. I still got to strip out the 14 bolt. Let me bring this over here. So, I got to take the shafts out. I'm going to try to pop the lug studs out. And I want to pop the brackets off here, get it all ground down, pull the gears out of the center of it, and get it totally stripped down, ready to weld the truss on. Um, so we got that on the thing today. Also, I go to Harbor Freight every day. So, I picked up some stuff today from Harbor Freight. I picked up the flex head 1/2 in drive. I picked up a short 1/2 inch drive and I picked up the 3/8 flex head along with the picks. These are all 40% off. These were half off. Can't go wrong because really all I got is just one 38 here. So that'll be that'll be really nice. This is my 1/2 inch that's barely working. And I got a couple quarters. I wanted to pick up a quarter, too. Um and I still might go back and pick pick up a quarter, but I figured I don't even use the quarters to begin with, so why pick up one? But I'm going to get these unboxed, all of these, and then I'll turn the camera back on and we can go through them. I wasn't going to like do an unboxing video because that's not really what this channel is. But, um, I I do I do want to get more into more tool review videos because I do have some tools in here. I I want to do a toolbox um like showing of the toolbox. I got the I got the general the US general toolbox here. So, I definitely do want to do a toolbox tour, but I want to talk about for a second the packaging on this icon. I mean, u [snorts] freaking 10 out of 10. Oh, wow, guys. as I don't I'm not a Snap-On guy. I don't have any Snap-On. I don't even I don't The only thing I have really is just is just Bostitch, which I've had Bost Stitch for a while. The Chrome series, not really chrome series, but I've had Bositch for this is this is my first ever half inch. And then I got um where is it at? I don't know where my other one is, but I have a um Oh, I'm running a blank, guys. I'm running a blank. Whatever this is. Oh, gear wrench. It's right here. Gear wrench. And I love my Gear Wrench. This thing is beat. So, I heard Gear Wrench is pretty good. But let's get this 38 unboxed. And let's put them kind of neck [clears throat] to neck and see see how they are here. So, here here we have the Gear…
