Thinking I will try Cosmoline on the drums and see how long it lasts?

Great Thread!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for starting this thread Brillo as it is good to hear what others want from their rigs. I especially like the looks of UnderFire's Rig as it has a good balance of tire to lift, roof rack and lights! As others have said and I am in their camp at the moment with...

Brillo, Many thanks for the links sent! Appreciate the effort and thoughtfulness! After watching Tim's fantastic video's on the matter of this procedure I must admit to being a bit overwhelmed with the details and procedures. I must have watched the most recent video with the new tool at least...

Guy's, Need your opinions / experience on this project for parts? Beside the obvious parts I need to do this job would you all suggest ordering new bearing retainers and speed rotor's or reuse the ones that are currently on the vehicle. It's an 02 with a 170K. Thanks in advance for your...

Haybale, The mod for the breather took me about an hour or so. I found that the point where the fuel line goes under the filler tube is a point you will need to add a layer of extra tubing around the fuel line for the vent so the abrasion doesn't wear it down. If you reviewed Tim's video you...

Same thing happened to me when test driving my rig. I believe I tried to engage 4 low without being in neutral prior to pushing that button.....I have to read up on that thing as you have to be a rocket scientist to work the bugger. There was no damage caused luckily..... LMS

Kanoe, Makes sense then, wonder what the designers had in mind for such a limited amount of surface contact with the retainer? Perhaps a wear issue to the seal surface? I don't want to go thru the process to see it fail or be short lived that's for sure.....Thanks for the insight on this. LMS

gamefreakgc, Thanks for the thoughts and suggestions! I did spin the wheels however I was not paying attention to this point during my repair of the parking brakes. I will try and do that this weekend? The fact your seal failed has been on my mind especially after watching Tim's video on the...

raKnizek, Thanks for the efforts and write up w/pic's, great job! I imagine when closing the drivers door it must feel better as I am still amazed at how lite these doors are. I am running a set of Discover A/T tires by Cooper, aggressive in winter and not to bad for noise, at least until you...

One of the best hearing protection devices I use, I had made at an audiologist which is molded to you inner ears. The sponge ones work fine to and a lot cheaper just not as sound deadening as these. They are not silicone material as that stuff sweats too much. I used to shoot a lot of Skeet &...

Brillo, Interesting tools, never heard of them till you posted, Thanks! LMS

Great write up guys! I just FF the under carriage and did not even know about this POR-15 product. I did buy a air driven sprayer off Ebay and an additional wand that has a 32" reach for inside the frame. Assuming this setup will be OK for POR-15 / WD 40 application? Won't do this until next...

Yes, my bad......Corrected the mistake in above post. Thanks

JohnMc, My other concern is has the grease been washed away from the bearings as well? There is the elephant in the room :(

Dogtail, Thanks for the info and link to original post! Have you been doing this treatment since new purchase or did you buy it used, and how old was it when purchased? Thanks LMS
