    Ya know, the dealer mechanic tells me you can’t grease anything, nothing, not even the drive shaft U joints. I haven’t looked under one, but, if accurate, that’s ridiculous.

    You can and should.
    You can also grease ball joints and tie rod ends to extend their life if they’re on their way out.

    No sweat, 2nd Gen needle bearings only last a measly 250K miles, apparently...

    You know that feeing when there’s some new loud sound (metal on metal? Suspension?) and you can’t find it! :frusty: Like no clue. Can’t even tell where it’s coming from. So goddamn aggravating. May have to take it to a shop tomorrow just to see if someone can help me locate it.

    Welp i bought plexiglass just incase the glass windows from the camper shell were to small when replacing the whole system. And turns out they are to small which means plexiglass is a go. If anyone has done this do you recommend splitting the plexiglass into two pieces for the side windows?

    check it with a level (also check that you’re on level ground.) or with a digital angle finder. Stuff like that drives me crazy.
