My old "pup" did the same thing. She also ate full grown rats and baby chicks.
p.s. She even ate a baby copperhead snake that she found out back.

Went out for a drive to a beach I’ve hadn’t been to in awhile…. You can still see the debris from the storm we had as it knocked a few trees over then swept them up on the beach.
Early morning drive and I saw this. I knew they existed! Good thing I had some Jack Links beef jerky with me.

Sir, you blacked out your address. How on earth are we to now pop up unannounced to talk Jeeps?
Last time I left my address in view in a picture Chris messaged me and said there are lots of perverts on this page so it was probably a good idea to cover it up lol I’m out here in West Virginia though if ya ever need anything
Drove 5 hours to pick up a project TJ for my 19 year old son. 2000 Sahara. Dana 44 rear. Must do's: cracked windshield, cat back plus O2 sensors, a couple small rust spots, gas skid, swap nv3550 with bad reverse gear with ax15. Need to's: 3.73 to 4.10 gears, sye/driveshaft, shocks. Some want to's. Got it for $3200
I was looking at the letters MPG… I’m KPL …
I just noticed your from Auckland, my brother girlfriend is a kiwi aswell!!
Since gears seem to be the topic of the month, I borrowed an idea from a guy on YouTube who built new arbor plates to allow for pressing off carrier & axle bearings.
1” thick steel (needed 14” but had to buy 10’), drilled out to 3/4”. Let me tell you, that drilling was hard. With the final plunge, I broke my free-to-me low-end HF drill press. So I moved over to my impact, which does surprisingly well (I had used it earlier in the long drilling process), but then it snapped off. Fortunately I had bored out enough to get the bolt through. I’ve been wanting a new drill press anyway, this was my excuse to buy a nicer one.
For the long bolts I needed something like an 8” long 5/8” fine thread bolt. Hardware stores don’t sell anything nearly that long, and even at 4” they were like $4 ea. So instead I bought a second bearing separator from HF for $33, because the screws it comes with fit the bill exactly. I needed it yesterday, but I may return it and buy proper bolts for about $10 ea.
The only trick is you have to be ready to catch the carrier. And also for what I spent on steel I could’ve just bought a clamshell puller, but like Alton Brown I hate one use tools, and I already had the bearing separator so I didn’t need TWO one use tools that perform the same task. These new arbors are probably actually better than the ones that came with the press, too.

Yeah? Well my best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 flavors last night. I guess it’s pretty serious.
I’ve been looking at buying one of these. I don’t need it yet, but I’ve rebuilt nearly everything else so why not the differentials? GXL Carrier Pinion Bearing Puller for Dana 30, 40, 60, 70, Ford 9'' inch Clamshell Design. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NAV0LUY/?tag=wranglerorg-20
Yeah, I gave that serious consideration after @hosejockey61's recommendation.
And while actually fabbing something up is fun, just buying that would've been cheaper since I had to significantly overbuy the steel. The only other thing I can add is that the clamshell puller still has a max depth it can operate on, which means it can't press off something like an axle bearing. Those are easy enough to cut off, and you don't typically re-use your axle bearings anyway but still, it's a point of consideration. If you didn't already have a shop press, then the clamshell ends up being a ton cheaper and takes up less space. If you already have a press & the means to do what I did (and can find some scraps of steel for cheap), then it's debatably better to go my route, provided you don't break your drill press in the process* My way was in no way shape or form easier to put together, but it takes up very little additional space.
*unless you secretly wanted to break your drill press so you could be forced to upgrade.
Destroyed this, anyone have one for sale? Color is immaterial.
I don’t have that one but the one I have works very well. Mine is some shipped from India model.
