The Official "What The Heck Is This?" Thread

Pic of the rear location…

 

Usually both front and rear axes will have one. Both should display the same ratio, but the individual tags may have info specific to each axel, such as a pos trac or other differences specific to the respective axle.

Well there you have it. Thanks

 

Of course it makes me wonder what the other numbers represent

 

In the case of Andrew's photo, the 44 represents number of ring gear teeth and the 9 represents the number of pinon teeth.
44 / 9 = 4.89

 

It should also have the BOG number(bill of goods), This is crosses to a list of the original configuration, ie gear ratio/limited slip and sometimes application when built). Which sometimes is stamped into the housing. Ron

 

Hence the term selling someone A Bill of Goods!?!

 

Would appear so, Ron

 

........Me thinks that being the Reverse Engineering , halfast kinda guy that I am....one may find it's original location by lining up the bolt holes to both covers & then see which one it came from ?

 

That looks like the exhaust stud from the driver side that holds the oil dipstick bracket.

 

Right. Got the paperwork but not the merchandise.

 

It could be the bolt to secure the fuel pump heat shield.

 

Probably not Jeep related but found on a jeep trail. My wife is kind of obsessed with figuring out what it is. I told her one of y’all would know.

Rusty beat up metal with a stainless steel piece going through it. The stainless looks like some sort of spring mechanism but it’s very stiff/thick and doesn’t move by hand. Dimensions are about 4” x 3/4” or so.



Thanks for looking.

 

''''''''Looks like a piece from the top of a rather old style Clipboard......... I Dunno, just a shot

 

the metal part is very heavy for something like that. I was thinking of a miniature tracked vehicle. But that’s not it either.

 

Kinda reminded me of a door strike for a vintage car - but too heavy duty.

 

Whats is this part of? Drawbar?

 

goes under rear floor for hitch

 

Thank you!
