    Well, Robert and Eric helped me out a ton (and Kolt too but he's not on this forum) and we got my wheel bearings done.

    The old ones, though they were making noise, didn't actually appear too bad once apart. Still some of the crappy white grease left in them and the cage was intact. Probably could have gone a while longer on them but glad I got them done.

    Packed the new ones with full syn valvoline grease.

    No pictures, pretty standard. Pressed off old ones, cut off inner bearing, pressed on new ones.

    I re-used my o-rings, I didn't buy new ones because I just figured they were fine, and they were. New inner and outer seals though.

    Thanks again Eric and Robert (relentless and 05rockslinger)!

    No. Something took out my sidewall on the first one. Just a tiny hole.

    Not sure what in the hell happened to this guy.

    When I bought my tires, I paid for optional warranty road hazard certificates. So in the event the tire was unrepairable they would replace for free. So all you have to do is take it to them and they check the tread depth and then replace it for free if it's ruined and not worn past I can't remember how much.

    When I punctured my sidewall on my MTR they replaced mine as well. Think I had to pay $53 for new warranty. But $53 for a $330 tire well worth it. Plus I rotate every 2 months or so. I won't go anywhere else for tires now.

    Well... backed into a tree and crushed a license plate light. Whoops.

    Got a new tire at discount, and picked up a remanned CV from autozone.

    Guess I need a new light.

    I'm pretty sure I still have the lights from my stock rear bumper if you need them let me know I can send them your way.

    That'd be awesome, I only crushed the passenger side one fortunately. Other than that, no damage. The only tiny crushable pieces on the bumper and I hit one the only time I back into something!

    No damage to the tail gate. Couple slight bends on the plate but meh, the front one is cracked and torn and hanging on for dear life.

    :D

    Awesome, thanks man!

    Got J.W.s package and threw in the new housing. Woo!

    Then I had no lights, so I checked every fuse I could think of, all good. Replaced a bulb with a spare he sent me. Nothing. Replaced a bulb with the other spare he sent. I got one! Wooo, no idea how long mine have been out but I'm glad he was nice enough to send extras.

    Thanks again n0rth!

    I have one more trip scheduled at the end of June that will last 5 days.

    I will however remember to rent something other than a Lincoln MKT next time.
