well after after almost 4 years of wheeling 15 to 20 times a year. the jeep finally needed some replacement parts. After going to el mirage and trying to chase a prerunner around. my front wheel bearing things needed replacement. I wasnt sure if my 33s where exagerating my "play" in the bearings, so i just bought one.
especially since the new Timken setup is 140bucks a pop.

took me about 30 to 45 minutes to replace 1. not a hard job but not easy because of the main nut thats a *** to get off. So now all the play is gone on the driver side. i now get to order another for the passenger side.

note to self, no more woops section in the jeep.

if anyone has any questions on how its done i can do a write up or help explain the process.  

right on, I've already had to replace both of mine at around 30,000 miles, It gets hammered on though. those torx can be a bear  

Well ya might as well go all the way with some new axles and sime u-joints since it's apart anyway  

What he said.  

U-joints are about to start binding, anyways.  
PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE !!!  Like your appendix, and sometimes your prostate, but more like your ears if you wife can't stop yappin' all the time........

Too many woops, to be sure.  

I wish I could wheel 15-20 times a year!  I remember the days when I spent way to much time getting familiar with my front end.

I kinda miss those days, nice job Kevin!  Write ups are awesome when they have good pictures that is how I learned most of what I had to do.  

yea but i wish i can wheel places like the rubi and moab.  
one of these days ill be able to make it.  

I wish I could wheel too... I'm busy getting way to acquainted with my truck...

So, is the Jeep fixed yet?  

i just need to replace my fornt ujoints,  but i need a vise,  so i gotta go buy a vise and the ujoint this week.  

oh darn...don't you just hate it when you have to buy new tools to work on your Jeep?  haha
