You can pick up one of these bearing packers from an Advanced Auto Parts store. Cost is $7. I put in new Timken wheel bearings on my bobber and repacked them all with this packer.

Anybody interested in a brand new Pulsetech PCMDS complete with the multi-circuit distribution panel (8 - 24v taps, 4 - 12v taps) and solar panel? I have one new in the box. I could open it and take pics tomorrow.
My bobbed deuce could theoretically do 84mph because of the 16R20 michelins and 5 speed spicer transmission. Most I ever hit was 72mph on the interstate for a short duration. After the engine / tranny swap she maxes out at 55 mph. I run 50psi tire pressure.
Here's the 5 ton spare tire holder that I modified for my 16R20 spare tire/wheel combo. I had the bottom carrier assembly widened by a few inches for the wider Michelin XZL tire. Then I had to cut 13-3/4" out of the bed to accommodate the spare tire rack in front of it. Totally worth it. The...
Came across this YouTube video a few minutes ago. Looks like it was posted in February 2015. I did a quick search and didn't come up with anything. Shouldn't be a repost...

I did a quick search on Fleabay for the following keywords: "military packard wire connectors" and found a DIY set for $60. Some of our vendors may have kits as well. Good luck.
How much did the Grizzly locker set you back? I browsed a few sites and they listed them in the $470-500 range. Is there a reason you chose the Grizzly over the Detroit locker? Only major differences I could find would be the disengagement teeth are wider and supposedly 350% stronger in the...
Drove the deuce to Jeepsinker this morning and dropped it off for a repaint. Going with 686 tan. God speed Garrett!
I rode the governor for over 4 hours at 55 mph. No issues. Brought a ton of spares and tools but I took them all home with me because I didn't use them.
Neighbor across the street was trying to remove a huge Sago palm from his front yard yesterday. He asked me as he cranked his truck if I would mind helping him pull the palm if his Chevy truck couldn't do it. I told him sure I'd help. A few minutes later after the Chevy tried a few times...

More updates:
M105A2 bed needed to be shortened for the 5 ton spare tire rack in front of it. Local fabricator John and I found the perfect spot to cut and try to match the factory weld seam in the bed. Once the bed is painted it shouldn't be noticeable at all. After all of the cutting and...
