Chandler's Battleship of Doom

That's about what mine have been. Never coated them and not showing any signs of anything.

 

Does anyone know how much movement you should have in your carrier bearing? Also any sure way of seeing if your front wheel bearing is going bad? I get this odd vibe in the front end when cornering kind of noisy, not sure if its my tires or wheel bearing. I could throw my stock wheels on but would rather not if I don't have to

 

Carrier bearing has some play, maybe like a 1/4"-1/2" cause it's surrounded by a rubber bushing, is that torn at all?

Jack up the truck and wiggle wheel at the 12/6 o'clock position, should be no play if the wheel bearing is good. You can also rotate the wheel and see if you get any noise like a groaning/gritty, if so it could be bad.

Sounds like a bad wheel bearing though if the side receiving the load from cornering is noisy.

 

No tears on the CB but has some play, I was messing with it while I was under the truck spraying the fluid film and wasn't sure. Ill try that method for the bearing, I'm nearing 60k so chances are I need to replace them anyways especially since its been on 33s since 13k and 35s since 38k

 

Ill just leave this here

 

Also just paid for my share of the Shok sound deadener, I was on the fence about it because its one of those comfort items. But after driving in the wind for 2 hours barely being able to hear anything I said fuck it, hopefully it helps

 

Just turn the music up

 

Oh trust me I do, I should have taken a video its loud as fuck when the wind is going

 

Damn you make me wish we wasn't friends...so I didn't have to look at this....I guess I'll be adding these to my list eventually except kings

 

Haha Icon will suffice for bumps, I picked it up for 20% off

 

Damn that's not bad.

 

Autoanything runs a 20% off all the time and they sell a bunch of stuff, some isn't included in the sale but most is

 

Damn I'll have to check them out.

 

It's 5 degrees outside but I really want to put my bumps on

 

Last time (a week ago) I checked ICON coilovers were't covered. Interesting to know that the hydro bumps are.

It's unfortunate that you haven't received a response from ICON. They were very prompt and great to deal with when I had to send in one my rear shocks for a warranty. I'd also be curious to see the discoloration you are referring to on the shocks themselves.

 

So are them bumps installed yet

 

Fuck no what a pain in the dick, seriously took forever trying to get those rivets out. I got the driver side bump plate off but couldn't get the bottom rivets punched out since their isn't much room to work with. The top ones I drilled through and gave it a whack or two and they popped out

I think my best bet is to flex out the rear so I can get my drill under

 

Sounds like a bitch
