2/5/16 Front Wheel Bearing and Hub Replacement #3

Installed another set of front wheel bearings and hubs. Also removed RCI rear diff skid.

Also removed RCI rear diff skid.

Curious why? I've got one but can't make it work with my rear sway bar (wanted to try running it again with some of the disconnecting rear links from a member here). I'll eventually just pull it off again and put the skid back but am curious if there's something I'm going to run into in the future with it.

Uhhhh- did they REALLY just leave your caliper hanging by the hard line like that?!

Very poor practice, and hard on the connection/line. I hate when I see that crap.


In other news- Hope you are doing well my friend!

Ha yeah, we kind of just left it there. I agree, bad choice.

Things are going. Looking forward to the warmer wheeling months ahead. Will you be at FJNE again at Rausch?

Haven't made any definite plans yet- I got promoted and now I work at a different location so I'm kinda settling in. Trying to get out as much as I can though!

3/15/16 CBI Front Bumper

CBI front bumper arrived. Regarding the front hoop, I went with a traditional full single hoop rather than their flat plated sides and dom tube in the middle.
