OFFICIAL CENTRAL KY THREAD

Jeffersonville is a bit far for me, but if you can arrange a TW express, I'll meet someone half way-ish. I'd store it at my shop in Springfield KY. That location may or may not work for you.

 

I think the lady sold it already. Thanks for the offer though

 

Anybody in Central, KY wanna help me remove an axle to put a new seal in this week? Please not everyone jump all at once!

 

I’d love to but I’ve got this thing happening at this place over in this city to attend.

 

Dood, you going to the Brit Milah as well?

 

What day? I'm off Friday but might need to be back in town at a reasonable time that afternoon.

CVs not rear axle seals, yes?

 

I can be there weekdays around 8am

 

I need some stock 3rd gen wheels and tires, someone hook me up lol aint tryna drive far

 

Appreciate it guys, i actually sucked it up and rented a few tools and did it this afternoon. The axle came out no problem being newer (thank God) old seal was a little tricky cause i couldn't get a straight pull on it (trying to be lazy and not remove everything out of the way) but after i did it came out. Heres to hoping the seal went in good and no more leaking

 

I can help you here.
Neither are new or even "lightly used". Wheels and tires have both been offroaded and look as expected.
I don't have current pictures of the items, but can get them.

The tires would be 245/75 r16 Grabber AT2, one has been plugged for many thousands of miles and never leaked, all 4 are likely to have rock rash and superficial cuts. They're round, but only about 25% tread life left.
The wheels are 3rd gen TRD OR wheels, with TPMS (that I can't get to sync on my truck), all 4 have scratches and etc, but are sound and round.

 

I doubt he's driving 3hrs one way for those js.

Said he was from my neck of the woods in a different post

 

Has anyone in here done the BHLM? They are the last bit of chrome I have on the outside but I am worried I will jack it all up and then be double pissed that I have to get new ones.

 

Plenty of times. What's your concern? Burning the housings?

 

Really just me being a moron LOL> I worry about melting everything, then maybe I will over spray on something... then maybe screw up putting them back together to where they wont look right back on the truck. Murphy's Law is my luck.

 

I don't know how far you live from Henderson ky but I'll help you do it if you're up for a drive

 

Levi, how hard it is to rebuild Axles? Have 2 stock ones that I tore the boots on and wouldn't mind re booting them.

 

Not bad at all. Worst part is grease getting everywhere. Start by popping the bands off then pull the inner side of the cv axle cup. That will show 3 tulip bearings. They are held on by a c clip that gets a little tricky to get off but not bad. Take a brass or rubber mallet and knock it off and then you can slide both boots and and clean the grease out. Re pack with grease and reverse the steps. Once you get it out of the truck should take less than 35 min after you do your first one.

 

Anyone want to come help take off my OME BP-51’s and install my stock suspension back on? I’ll give you a good deal on them.

 

So I went and drove a new Jeep Gladiator on Saturday. My only impression. Holy Hell these things are expensive. 59k is a lot of cheese. Especially when parked next to a 3/4 ton diesel that was only 61k.

 

Paying $60K for a vehicle is just sorta dumb to me. Just my .02
