Swapped the old style front Defender/Series vent flap seals for the new foam type on the Perentie. Total hassle removing the old glue that held the older rubber-style seal in the vent flap groove. Now... HUGE difference in interior comfort and way less noise (the Isuzu 4BD1 is not exactly a hush-tone diesel.)
If anyone needs/wants my only 1-year old rubber style vent flap seals, I am happy to give them away to a clubbie.

Took apart my front axle to replace my cv’s and to remove the differential and reapply rtv. Found a cracked boot on one of my guide pins for the brakes. Found it just in time too as it wasn’t hard to get out but would have been in the near future. Some of you may remember earlier this year I had a completely seized guide pin that required me to replace the caliper carrier. So buy a set of guide pins and boots, they’re cheap, and keep them on hand for when you need them.
The diff looked good when I took it out. Happy to get that resealed
Cv job started off smooth. Got the dust shield thing onto the new shafts easily. Slipped it into the diff easily. The hub would not go one though. The splines on the new Ashcroft 300M cv’s don’t fit in the hub. My old cv’s are also Ashcroft and they slide in easily. The differential side of the shafts fit into the hub splines easily. So I don’t know why the cv’s don’t. I emailed Ashcroft and will call them at like midnight or whatever and try to get this figured out as I would like to have a functioning front axle for the Rovicon. Any feedback on this issue is appreciated. Here are some pics of the two cv’s

New cv

at this point I can pick up the hub by lifting the cv. It’s jammed in the splinesSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Most likely just need to deburr them with a file . I have that happen all the time with the baja bug cv's
