Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

well lucky you its a sunny 37 degrees and I'm busting out the flip flops lmao.

 

I'm currently in research mode ... looking into just replacing my cv axle and then rebuilding my boot to have a spare ( tore my CV boot, not spewing but complete tear). Should I just get OEM CV axle? I plan on pushing my truck so I am hesitant about getting a axle from napa or other auto stores? The auto store ones are a lot cheaper though and money is tight. What do you all think?

 

From some of the research on this forum that I have done, but not from a personal experience though, OEM seems to be stronger and did better when pushed according to some of the folks on here.

Edit: Why not just rebuild this OEM axle that you have and keep the NAPA ones as a spare?

 

If you think dirt got in, you should prob pull and inspect it. By the looks of your LCA, I'd say probably...


You can also get a reboot kit

But you either have to clean thoroughly and reboot or replace

My two cents, (worth $.01) is aftermarket cv's are a helluva a lot better than a broken one on the trail. So may be good to have. But for daily driving, wheeling, longevity, and confidence I'd be replacing that aftermarket trail fix with OEM when I got home

Then you send your old ones in and get a partial refund

I didnt see anything saying you where back on with this.

 

Guys in the PNW have used them a lot and swear by them.

 

PNW?

Looking at the ones for lifted trucks with red boots.

 

Pacific Northwest.

 

Think we need a FUCK YEAH button.

 

Weird order of modding. Aftermarket spare but glass with stock wheels.


To each his own.

 

Total sign of the unknown!
Thinking he has a fear of commitment.

 

Maybe those wheels and tires are his commuters, I've thought about doing the same.

 

I spelt that like @Speedo

They are done....however. I would love a clean up crew next weekend if anybody is done

 

The jealousy I am feeling has consumed all my words...
