    So who knows about how many camper sites are around the Denver area? Looking to get a camper and move there. Well live in the camper a few months while I get established.

    I knew someone who lived here for 3 years, always seems full despite the corny name. Decent location with "new" shopping next door to east and on the Platte river trail system.

    Edit: There are at least 2 in Golden I have passed by but no clue what their names are.

    Why do you wanna move here? Colorado sucks. You'll hate it. By the far the worst state in the US. :anonymous:

    Cross posted from the 1st gen section...

    Talk to me about CVs.

    Last night I had a dream that Ol' Red was "clicking/clunking" when turning right. For shits and giggles I looked under there today and alas...

    IMG_0333_zpsekf9yqux_1355aa74fe7922d31a59c8df4f1b271934b90c60.jpg


    Looks like my passenger side CV boot (inner most) is shot... and it's crapping grease all over the place.

    Jon gave me a spare CV awhile back that needs to be rebooted. Are these side specific? I assume not.

    Would it be best to do both my driver's and passenger's side at the (relative) same time?

    My plan was to reboot and pack w grease Jon's CV he gave me. Slap that on the passenger side. Then take the CV I just removed, reboot and pack w grease, and then slap that on the driver's side.

    This is of course if I'm capable of removing, rebooting, repacking and replacing these things.

    If you reboot them you might as well do the boot slide mod while you're in there. I've never done it personally but I hear it helps.

    Not side specific. Only thing specific is if you have ADD vs manual hubs.

    I have the ADD hubs and Jon just simply has ADD.

    Should work out.

    And yeah, I figured I'd do the boot slide mod while I was in there. Again, assuming I'm capable of doing this.

    I wouldn't bother with the boot slide mod. Your boots are leaking simply due to age.

    No doubt.

    Of course when I go to drive it right after this will happen

    He said he was going to reboot them. So I figured boot slide with new boot.

    I just haven't seen it done by anybody locally is all I'm going on. If anybody was going to leak, it would be @Squeaky Penguin . And I'm running the limited travel NAPA reman's, that have yet to bind up, or leak. I wheel kind of hard. Neither of us has done the mod. :notsure:

    I think the whole intent behind the boot slide mod is to spread the fins apart. Most leaks occur at the clamps anyway. His are leaking on the clamp side, from age related tearing and the added stretch the lift put on them, so the mod would not have made any difference.

    I agree with this. Even right after we installed the lift (no break in) the fins weren't touching.
