Rus thank you for the diagram and the information. I believe that I put it in that way but not sure. I have not re filled any fluids or done anymore work, so it would be a good time to make sure. I read(i believe on the kiser willys page) that the seal should face out, not knowing I looked at it like this. My seal had a flat side and a lipped side. I believe I have the lip facing out, away from the wheel. I installed it with my cut at the top of the axle, on both the rubber seal and the felt seal.

I live in Florida, so 80-90 percent of the time it's 70-100 degrees. I don't see temperatures below 60 much and below 30 only a few days out of the year. This is where my question on the grease weight comes in. I would like to put the right one in for the majority of my year. If not one that would be good year round. I'm also making sure I'm going going to be getting cussed at one day being the "PO" myself.
I like doing it right the first time, and to make it last. With this build I'm learning everything for the first time as well. I don't want to screw something up, putting in the wrong grease , trying to save a few dollars. I have a long way to go, and a few thousand dollars to rebuild what needs to be done and done correctly. BUT MAN I WANT THIS JEEP ON THE ROAD YESTERDAY...
