    I hate it when I have dirt sliding on my shaft.

    thats why you need to keep your shaft lubricated. no one likes a dry shaft

    Yup, gotta let it work it's way in there, "nice 'n deep-like".

    In the rear I don't have to worry, the shaft is covered.

    The Nitrochargers covers, on the rears, are slighlty open at the top.
    I've purposely sprayed PB Blaster in there and let it drip down, while I was already using it for something.

    I figured if it messed up the seals, big deal, they're just the lower end shocks.

    Keep your shaft in a boot and it won't get dirty.


    That's being safe, having your shaft covered when in the rear.

    Doing that will attract more dust & dirt, which is hard on seals.

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    It's Cisco's @Aztec120 month!

    Speaking of...I was considering heading up to Tigerton for opening day, but then remembered what the trails can be like when it rains fairly hard (and it's raining fairly hard up there).
