    I don't think they are serviceable......I might be wrong.
    My driving habits and the wheel spacers were added factors. The water was the icing on top.

    Nah unfortunately ours aren't serviceable. If you go the route to get the hubs already pre-built from one of the guys on here, id suggest rebuilding the old one to keep as a spare. Not a bad spare to have. I think I got mine from bamatoy1997

    I was going to but he was 1 week behind schedule. I ordered a set from JerseyHub. I bought the 2 entire hub/spindle/knucle from Nathan, so I have that setup as a spare. I am planning on rebuilding mine.

    Yours are fairly new so they shouldn't really fail, yet. They are known to fail, especially with spacers, like I have on.

    Nice! May as well throw some TC spindle gussets on them before you swap them.

    Here's a couple more high water shots; I have more, but the internet is still slow here.

    I-10 westbound on the eastbound side.

    105 northbound in Vidor.

    We did USAR for a couple days, rolled into general high water OP's when the immediate calls for help slowed. I took over operations of the Orange County airport and we pushed out over two million pounds of aid supplies in a week, using a combination of military and civilian aircraft. I handed that off to a unit from Arkansas, and living at the ford center in Beaumont until higher decides what to do with us.

    Y'all (the people and civilians we've encountered and worked with) have all been awesome. :thumbsup:

    It will be fine. When you lay down on it the 2x6 will flex and rest on it.
