    Yeah, kinda strange they dont have specs for their own shit..

    only thing I'd check on is what kind of grease to what bushing material (some grease degrades the rubber bushings)

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    http://www.sierraexpeditions.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=4637

    For some reason in the title it says non-greasable, but the rest of it says greasable. I would maybe call them to see if you can get these?

    Petroleum based grease, so the normal stuff you would use for driveline greasing, eats rubber bushings. Need to use non-petroleum based.
