Mlcc 02 DC build thread

Replaced wore U-joints and the even more wore out carrier bearing plus Replaced the rear brakes again with all new springs and hardware because the last mud run ruined them again. Lots of new parts and this thing drives like new especially since I got so street tires to roll around on when its not wheeling so the mud tires should last alot longer.

 

Put some Icons with 700lbs spring didnt have to adjust preload collar the ride height was exactly the same as the old bilsteins that just came off, and the bottom bushings on those were already wore out after 3 years or so.

 

Also putting this here for documentation purposes. Old man emu dakars leaf spring front bushing part numbers. Original bushing was rubber and was wore out making a bunch of noise. After much research found this and replaced the original bushing.

 

Replaced the carpet with vinyl. Ordered from autocarpet.com, now its not an exact fit and there are no holes for anything. Took some trimming and some heat gun action but its in.
