Hey Trevor! Glad you're having such a good trip! Someday I hope to follow in your tire tracks! TJ and I have joked that it might make sense to swap out the seal every time I get fresh K-60s mounted. This last set has almost 30k miles on it though, so they outlasted the seal. Having watched TJ do the work 3 times now, it seems fairly straightforward, and doesn't take him anywhere near the amount of time the book says it does. I'm sure if I tried it would take closer to book time though!dcstrom said:Hey Chris, great to hear you're still going strong. On the differential seals... I'm in Mexico now at 30,000 miles, had a seal replaced in San Diego at 22,000. I'm carrying a spare but maybe I should have 2! Looking at your results and mine, there seems to be about 20,000 miles between seals needing replacement. I wonder if this is going to be a wear item? Seal is cheap at $10, and the dealer would have charged me $145 to change it, if it hadn't been covered by extended warranty. Maybe something I need to learn how to do myself!
Safe travels and best wishes,
Chris
