Not really carnage and a little late but ..... When I got home Sunday I just had time to unpack and spend a little time with wife before heading downtown for a 4 day session at GA Tech.  So didn't wash or give the Jeep a good look over like I normally would.

When I got home that following Thursday night as soon as I opened the garage door I smelled diff fluid.  Apparently peeled the lip on the thin cover enough to allow a small drip. Good news is plenty of fluid came out and it's nice and clean inside.l



Luckily I had these already on the bench. Should have had it on already but it's going on today.

Hard to miss the smell of gear oil in the garage.

One of the worst smells, and hardest to get rid of.

Start soaking it out of the concrete best you can.

I don't mind it all that much. Some brake cleaner about knocks me out. Agreed, see if you can get it out of the floor before it is permanently stained like my garage lol.

Yeah, the floor cleaned up pretty good.  Should be OK odor wise.

So got the Jeep cleaned up and the new cover on the diff.  Time to restrech/reload the winch line.  After free spooling out the first 15' or so it's stuck.  The synthetic line pulled itself down through several layers on a short pull.  Had to anchor to my daughters Escape hitch and pull it free. 

Danny, Wes, Jared and probably a couple others might know how this happened.  Let's just keep that to ourselves and I will bring extra beer to the next trip.     //cheers2//   

Anyway glad to have the winch line rewound properly and the Jeep cleaned up, inspected and ready to roll on the next trip.

I recall how it could have happened.  I like West Coast hoppy beers.  //lmao//

Damn Clark.  I knew you were there but thought you missed that.  If you like hoppy beer I have one for you.
