Jesus, that grease looks like baby poop.
IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5

Getting there, I thought I would be further along after having it for 7 months, but I guess finances dictate the actual build time.

Bah, I've had mine for a year and a half, I've wheeled it once, it has been in the progress stage ever since...but I think I see a light.   :thumbs:

I'm forcing myself to see the light. By the next time I drive it, it will be trail worthy.

That is how you are supposed to pack them.

Regular old birfs from 1985

Not likeley, you will break birfs mostly according to your driving style, whether or not your steering stops are adjusted correctly, not just cause you are running 35's. I've known people with stock birfs and 37's and never broken them.

What would you rather do? Run no grease? Put one back in with out grease?
Edit: That is the lamest thing I've heard to date. :shake:

More grease means less heat when you do go to change the birf if you have to.  I packed my birfs with a great maount of rease.  Keeps the joint turning good and cooled.  Not bad to change it out with all that grease anyway.  That way you just grab the glob of grease on the broken birf and slam it on the new birf.  Don't have to carry extra grease!

i just pack the cv and the knuckle bearings, all that extra grease will not get in there by itself, it will just sit there,  you wasted the grease for no reason. i just put about an 1/8th inch coating on the bell.

to grease the cv i put some grease in the cv spline and shove the axle in the splines to make it pack in there till its full.

that heat sink idea might work if you drove around town in 4wd.

its fine, its not gonna hurt anything,
i also diddnt say not to put any grease in there so
no, its not the lamest thing you ever heard,
its the lamest thing that you thought up yourself.
