RE: Thanks for the info
mine did this recently. it would lock up and stick when you hit the brakes but would work itself free while driving but it was undriveable due to the brakes bein stuck. if you opened the service side the brakes would work just like normal. i pulled the allen plug and...
ouverson hubs were designed for high horsepowere mud trucks on tractor tires. they more than meet any abuse you can put them through in a 134 hp military truck. i have hung out with randy and all his buddys a few times and if you see what they are putting his products through you would be sold...
make a bracket tha holds the transfer case in neutral with a lock. or take the shifter for the transmission off. its one bolt and you can do it right in the cab. take some small diameter steel rod and bend up some hooks under the truck behind the frame and hang the shifter from it when its off...
RE: ?

i made some out of 2x12s. i doubled them up and bolted them together and ran a rib of angle iron down the bottom of each with an angle iron lip to fall into the slot where the gate and bed meet when the gate is down. i wouldnt reccommend these though. under a 2700 lb samurai contraption they...
RE: Re: RE: steering knuckle grease
the metal to metal contact on the thrust washers at each end of the yokes is my main reason for grease. i would think with out it you would wear your spindle and seal retainer out
well i checked my pivot today, its deffinetley bad. i only checked one side but both are getting new bearings. easy to check with just a floor jack, i just lifted it by the rod ends at the pivot until the spring came off the spring pads. there is about a half inch of play in it. yikes. everyone...

i dont know if blaster hurts the rubber. when i worked on motorcycles at a dealership i was told wd 40 hurts tires. i cant understand it hurting tires if it doesnt hurt the finish of a brand new car, it is silicone based. i think blaster is petoleum based though. i have more 5 ton rims to break...
