    My original OEM ones ending up rusting out and snapping. Seems like it’s an issue on all pickup trucks. A lot of older pickups have broken straps on them.

    2k is a little steep. Most are priced around $800 that I see.

    Just changed my AC, Alternator, and Power steering belts after 250k miles.

    They have been squeaking for 2 years but ive been driving it less so it hasnt been on my priority until now.

    Honestly wasnt as bad as i expected it to be. Now its squeak free!!! no more waking up my neighbors in the morning. haha.

    6mm larger stub shaft on the wheel side. I had manual hubs and broke a shaft, which in turn grenaded the hub. I thought it gave out rather easily so I went back to ADD.

    I'll take a $50 oem junkyard axle over $50 for an axle and another $100 for a hub, if you can find one. Also the brass bushings inside the hub get torn up and you cannot buy replacement bushings anymore. ORS quit selling them.

    Why not try CVJ axles? remanufactured OEM axles.

    Here is some footage from my Rexing dashcam I shot today driving through San Francisco after someone cut me off.

    I am surprised how excellent the video quality is. I can't recommend this unit enough.

    It's a Dual camera dashcam, I didn't splice together the rear footage into that video.

    Excellent camera for an excellent price.

    Wonder how long it'll last before YouTube issues me a copyright strike. Haha.

    Fell in love with them after I heard that song in The Big Lebowski.

    Yeah. I guess they have a proprietary software that scans for stuff like that....

    Me too, my friend, me too. They were/are touring around the bay. At least up here in SR...

    It's from the crappy integrated mic on my dashcam. It's louder in person.

    We changed wiper fluid nozzles and all the hose, then the good ole gray wire mod. We had to move the ground wire to the 4wd module bolt, after that all went well.
