    I polished mine four times.
    They looked great every time, before they started fracture cracking.
    I finally bought new.

    Those look good, man. I had a set of spray painted wheels in high school and swore I would never do it again. So much aircraft remover lol. I'm just going to hit them with some wheel cleaner and call it good.

    Actually, I'll probably spray the center caps silver since they're all chipped but stopping there!

    That's exactly what I'm saying though, seems like people using the same bearings have to change them out more with one manufacture. But like I said, could just be ADS folks mention it more.

    I don't do a ton of off roading anymore, but get out fairly often, not really much other than graded forest roads and off road parks near hear. But last rebuild they were still in decent shape, could've gone a few thousand more. Had maybe 20ish.

    I better order through rock auto then. This just kinda just popped up, I was going to get the cs144 but this seems like a better option.

    So I’m gearing up to do the Big 3 upgrade and here’s my plan and materials:

    Big 3 upgrade:
    (2.0 gauge wire)
    Alt + to battery +
    Battery - to frame
    Battery - to engine ground

    EWCS 2 Gauge Premium Extra Flexible Welding Cable 600 Volt Combo Pack - Black+Red - 10 Feet of Each Color - Made in The USA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0167K7DO2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_80PT6NM3S39ZDMX054JJ?_encoding=UTF8

    Fastronix Military Spec Battery Terminal Top Post Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X36RILW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_0CWWC1NT0ADG3GWRZFXG


    Charging upgrade:
    Denso 210-0461 alternator
    MK3 MINI BLADE 7.5A(might not need with new alternator)

    wondering if anyone has feedback or suggestions to improve this? For those have done it, is 10’ of red and black enough?

    All pro apex. I have wanted it for several years but i already had a bumper. Adding the winch is what finally caused me to pull the trigger.
