    Lol and I am swapping my cv's from my white truck to the green one because I have those ORS high angle inner boots and I fixed and rebuilt one when I broke it so it didn't spit grease anymore and did the bootslide on that one but the other is going to get rebuilt when I pull them! Then I will have two OEM spares from the green truck! :D:cool:

    Question for you guys running power inverters.. What can I run on a small 480w power inverter? I was given one and I'm planning on putting in my bed to run the pump for my air mattress and maybe a fan to keep the camper shell cool on those hot summer nights..

    480 is more than enough for an airbed pump.

    For the fan I'd probably buy a cheap USB powered fan and a power bank.

    Hell yeah that'll crank the hps. I'd like to throw on a super charger but the finances aren't where I need them to be so I'm just gonna port my throttle body and new headers eventually. But for now cosmetics is big... Until the trucks payed off

    A failing rear axle bearing does not make a clunking noise. More of a rhythmic vibration. Ask me how I know.

    How do you know good sir? I'm getting a similar vibration now around 40-50mph its more noticeable. I'm also considering what to do about these pesky ball joints. I want to replace all 4 corners, but the uppers need a new control arm right? What's a good option for a DD weekend warrior/mall crawler? Uniball seems like a lot of maintenance.


    Tested out the new tires in some snow and mud, these KO2 are insanely grippy compared to the older KO. Black oak LED makes a confirmed waterproof product :)

    Nope, upper ball joints are separate from the uca. Somebody will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe there are 4 bolts holding the upper ball joint to the uca and a castle nut holding it on the spindle. Pretty simple to change :)

    Just remove the castle nut and the UCA will flip up and off of the UBJ stud. Push the ball joint out of the spindle and you're good to go.

    Well I guess that's good! Wonder what the heck this clunking is? I already took out the hitch so I know it's not that..
