    Huh Jamie?

    I did polish the chrome, looks nice and shiny now. :D

    I probably won't color match or paint it though, I don't mind a little bling.

    Well finally felt ambitious enough to tear into one of my hubs. I noticed the inner wheel seal was in poor shape when I did my gear swap and so I got a couple of them from Toyota. Thought the bearings were good but when I got in there my bearing sounded a little rough. Don't think they're doing too hot. Noise is much less noticeable when the wheel is mounted and the other side sounds the same. Theres no play but I guess it's on my to-do list now. Luckily I'm pretty good at tearing apart the front end by now.

    Thanks dude! Yeah, kinda figured. Gonna pack the shit out of my next bearings and hopefully I'll get more than 50k out of em.

    I've got access to a 100 ton press if I need it! :cookiemonster: but I'm hoping Eric (relentless) and Robert will want to help me since I know Eric made some tools to press off roberts when they did his a while back.

    I looked and I'm sure you said it somewhere in your 21 page build haha but how much did you take out of the fender itself and the flare? I'm loving the clearance gains you got. I think when I get some 35s it's still gonna rub like crazy even on this db lift. I think Anthony is doing the same with his truck so maybe I'll talk to him too.

    Yep he is. I cut 2" out of mine. Same with Eric ^ and Anton and Max took 3" out of his. It's a bit expensive and kind of a PITA honestly but I'd still do it if I did it all over.

    Sweet, thanks Robert. I'll have to do some research and check em out.

    Damn truck...

    Snowed today, a lot, passenger side headlight fogged up. :'(

    Temp gauge/compass died. Guess they're both easy enough to fix.
