Isuzu Amigo CV axle removal

Removal of a CV axle in a 1990 Isuzu Amigo

Tom’s Amigo had trouble on our last off-road trip. It would lose front drive occasionally. We eventually diagnosed it as the CV axle pulling out of the hub splines.

Tom picked up a new axle https://amzn.to/2Vk4B2t and this weekend we decided to swap it out. Or maybe just replace the C clip that had come loose allowing the axle to pull out of the hub.

Beasly Knob Badge of Honor Trail

Shakedown run for my rebuilt engine and my first Badge of Honor check-in.

After getting my Jeep back together finally after the engine rebuild, cooling upgrade, and alternator swap, I wanted to take it for a test drive. I noticed that the closest trail in the Jeep Badge of Honor app was Beasly Knob.

Renix Stroker rod knock fixed

I finally pulled the crank and corrected the rod knock I have been ignoring for years in my Renix stroker motor.

I have been running a 4.7 stroker in my 1988 Jeep Cherokee XJ for over 13 years now. I like the extra torque it gives; me especially with having 3.55 gears and 33-inch tires.

I have had a slight knock for years that has gotten worse. It was so bad that it was showing up on the REM knock sensor readings and retarding the timing.
