Haven't got a full pic of the truck but tomorrow I will it's all dirty they ride so smooth !
 
Dropped my baby off at Hi Tech.

New factory CV axles, new hub/bearings, install new rear factory springs, alignment, adjust the front coil-overs, mount/install BFD Graphite rims with P265/60/r18 Michelin Defender MS/2.

Lowering her back down to close to stock....*gasp.

Shop said my LR upper control arms had play in the ball-joints. I bought them last July. I called SPC and they said to send them the serial numbers. Sounds like they will be covered under warranty which is a good thing but disappointing that they are only 16 months old and I have done zero...as in 0 offroading since install.
 
Correct me if i'm wrong but freezing hub makes it smaller, and heating bearings makes it larger...so wouldn't that make it harder to press?

Yes, supposed to make the shaft smaller and slide right into the bearing but I sure was glad to have it sitting on the press for a little help as it pop - POP -POPs it's way on.

I finished reassembly last night, yeah I know I'm slow. Readjusted my SPC arms to the D caster setting where I was previously one more positive caster setting back E, and a quick rough alignment. Damn she drives nice, no more bump steer! I also installed a new fog light HID kit to fix my flicker. Yes it's an HID in a halogen housing and I hope you go blind.
 
Replaced the driver side front hub/bearings on my 2WD. This may be the only vehicle I know where the 2wd is more expensive/difficult than the 4wd.

Also replaced the cabin air filter... I believe it was the original so you can imagine what it looked like after 125k miles! I didn't even think to check it until I ran a wire near the glovebox for my backup camera.
 
Cut off the resonator and threw on an 80* section with a new tip...nothing special except now I can lessen the amount of sulfur smell when cruising with the pups...
 
I got some mud on my tires today.

It was super slick and gravity slide me into the rut but I would much rather be there then off the cliff.

Here she is

That was a nothing I was debating on is going to a 35. 295/70/17 is 33.5. I would just have to cut the body mount, it cleared the front end.

Body mount wasn't the only thing I had to cut when I first went to 35's. I had to trim my front and rear bumper significantly before I got my front and rear bumpers.

Looks similar to mine before I added my bumpers.


Yours looks good! :rockon:
