    Check out the build
    It's pretty simple to swap a wheel bearing, it's 2WD right? I've only done the 4WD and the only difference I think is he CV axel.

    thanks, will give them a call shortly!

    yes, time definitely seems to be in short supply these days. I appreciate the offer though! maybe when the next one starts to go!

    yep, 2wd. from what I saw on the youtubes, it looks fairly straightforward. I'm fairly confident in my mechanical abilities, but definitely lacking the space and tools to do it right.

    I have to admit if I was a squirrel with an overwhelming urge to die, I would gladly accept obliteration from that truck.

    Does it even have long travel?

    Having 6 wheels is silly. Not in this case though.

    They did the South America loop then off to Africa. 3 year trip. And unlike the Unimog campers, this one fits in a container. Interior was cramped though for the size of the thing. All that outside storage... you're basically showing people all of your gear when you go to grab a bag of chips.

    Whenever they're off the truck, I will be ready. I'm going to wait to put everything on together, so no pressure. They'll make a nice addition to my workbench for the next month. :cool:

    Get ready for the springs too... They come with the OME extended U-bolts too, so what other parts do you need? Something up front, or are you going with anti-bro super rake stance? ;)
