Its a little like washer thing that goes over the spindle. and this was only on the damaged hub. we didnt even get to the driver side yet.

but dwayne did tell me how to pack bearings and put the seals down and such. which was sweet.

Looks very good Scott. Now that you have put them together all purdy, do they still fit? When I rebuilt the racks on the M715, I very meticulously measured and drilled and when I set the rack, it didn't go in. It appears that they are not necessarily symetrical. So I decided that at the factory, they just put the verticals in and drilled the wood wherever it fit. Did that with the second side and it worked out great.

i would maybe go with bigger tubes after hearing the les shawb guy tell mike that the tube needs to be inflated up to 50psi? to hold tight. maybe go with a 1400 tube? but that doesnt seem right...i've never had a problem with mine...

The MVT's are a taller tire than the michis. The inside of the tread wall is probably different as well. I have been told to maintain my tube pressure in the front tires up around 60psi and the backs around 55.

I called the company Seats Inc. to figure out what psi to run seats at and they said they just hook up a 24v compressor and it puts out the psi it needs. So I still have no idea what to run these seats at. right now its set at 25psi. they are military seats and i've seen them in a PLS before at a show. anyone know?

So forgot to add my backup camera that dan wired in. pretty freaking awesome....



Added a pivot crane to the back of the truck I can remove the arm and store it in the front of bed or underneath not to sure yet. Buddy and I tested it by pulling up the nose of a the 105 camper even with the rear support leg down hahahah. still need to shorten in by maybe 5 in and maybe add some more support.

also added another jerry can mount next to the previous one and toolbox. added a strap to the spare tire carrier for better support as well
