The Currie steering gear and Teraflex sway bar disconnects were installed followed by Heavy Duty ARB differential covers. These bright red covers stick out nice under the Jeep and the thick construction provides great protection to the gears and differential.
After all the components are back together gear oil is added to both differentials and this part of the job is complete.
