Upgrades

[cgr]

After a few years of almost letting the Marauder go due having the common paint issues, I got it repainted last year and am now ready to start adding to it.

I am adding a JLT Intake, TCE brake kit, HPS pads, slotted rotors, Monroe Severe Service Shocks, Addco sway bars with SLE bushings, and some shiny parts with the door sills and shifter bezel from fastblackmerc.

I also have the radio issue and the air suspension just started acting up, will probably tackle those while digging into everything else.

Questions for help - I was under the car and noticed my axle is probably the most rusted part on the car, should I do something about this now? I should probably do the axle TSB kit, but I have not noticed issues there but do have a small amount of oil on the diff. I also figure with doing the brakes, etc it would be easy to dig into it.

Thanks for any insight.

A rusted rear end housing is just a cosmetic thing.... you can wire brush all the rust off and rattle can it, or use POR15 and then paint.

If you axles are OK then there is no need to do the TSB. The oil can be from the vent or leaking from the pinion seal or cover. clean it off and then check after a few hundred miles to see where it's coming from. Replace the seal or the cover gasket silicone or gasket as required.
