1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

No BB's. They just encourage you to skip checking the bearring. Plus the seals on trailer axles are shit. Plus the buddies push the grease past the seals and it ends up on the inside of your wheels. At best you have dirty wheels, at worse you have unbalanced wheels from the accumulation of dirt on inside of the wheel.

 

is that why some trailers go bouncing down the highway?

 

BB’s?

What would you suggest?

 

I can't remember if the last two places I got trailer tires from even balanced them haha

 

He doesn't like the easy grease fitting caps called bearing buddies. As long as you don't traet them like ujoints and squirt until they splatter they're fine, and remember to check your bearings every now and again.

 

Just pull the caps, jack up the trailer once a year and check for slop in the hub. Tighten if needed.

BB's is bearring Buddies. I'll pass.

 

I do have to cheack my bearings this winter. I hate bringing the trailer home just to do work on it. Needs a new floor piece too though, ugh

 

Just to be clear, Berring Buddies and EZ lube axles are 2 different things. I like the latter.

 

It's just never fun, I hate changing the floor pieces. At least my axles almost never need work being rubber torsion style. Might need new brake shoes this time though.

 

My current trailer has EZ lubes, but I had bearing buddies on a previous boat trailer and liked it, kept me from having to change the bearings as often considering the shit it got dunked in

 

Roller runners or carpet and wood? Hopefully the leafs don't give you too much trouble corrosion wise.

 

In case some are wondering what EZ Lube axle stubs are, here you go.

 

Quite a bit of work those trailers...

 

I just heat the nuts with a propane torch. Saved lots if time

 

You will need a backer.

 

And a 7' breaker bar? Like doing things the hard way?

 

Ok I just woke up and I'm all caught up. @Sperrunner is a lil bitch who can't loosen a frozen bolt, @BartMaster1234 removed his beyonce butt by getting a trailer, @m3bassman came back from a awesome trip and is probably busy editing photos, @Speedytech7 almost got his first gen murdered by a jeep wj, and @JKO1998 paged a Dr. Farva for insult for @Sperrunner?

Did I miss anything else?

 

Since when do you go on trips in the middle of a week anyway

 

Torn pads = built character


Jus saying

 

When the opportunity rises for it go for it. Otherwise it's wasted on what? Couch time and Cheetos?
