Guess I should mention...heavy treated cardboard exterior box

Rebuilding a UCA and I gambled on a “warehouse liquidation last set” of 2 MOOG bushings for $10.98 from RockAuto. I have worked in the aftermarket suspension world for the last 12 years, so I’ve seen a lot of bushings from MOOG, Mevotech...

Packaging was good...there was a dent on the roof but not a biggie for me. I get the feeling it kind of flummoxed the UPS guys because a manager made a special trip in an otherwise empty regular/small UPS truck and needed me to help get it off...

How was the packaging from shipping? Also, did you have to have a lift gate truck or did it deliver in a regular UPS truck? Looks great!!

I like the sentiment and the comment... The RTT is for the wife and kid, I'm too fat to get up and down that ladder and I can't sleep anywhere near my wife...she SNORES loud and can fall back to sleep after being woken in less than 10 seconds...

Nice find! You'll never go back to a regular tent after this.....! :)

Prepping for family glamping :-) Amazon purchase - $1300

Took a trip through part of the eastern Mojave Road and Death Valley. More Joshua Trees than in JTNP...by far Hid out at Death Valley Mine because it looked like rain. Then, snow happened. In April. WTF? Met a buddy (not @Dan2722 , but...

Finally! Thanks for the help Steve, Corbet and Clayton!! Tuesday Morning Coffee at Durango Joe's is on me next week!

I honestly never even touched, let alone sat in or drove a 100 series before this purchase, and I have to say, it's one of the best vehicles I've ever bought. I've been made a believer, and I've hardly even left pavement with it yet. I went in...

I replaced the entire rack because I had multiple leaks and worn mounting bushings so I can't speak to repair efforts as well as others. There are some threads on here dealing with rack rebuilds.

Yes it's epic! Running icon 2.0s and extended sway bar links now which is helping. They are a little bit longer than OME I was running before.

Crazy how much articulation we get in the back isn't it???

Updating on clearing the 35s 0 offset. I just wheeled and flexed as much as it will go so I am finally happy to share. I am sitting at 21.5 in the front and 23.75 in the rear currently 1. Pinch weld as far back as I could cut 2. Extended OEM...

Well it's not crazy long term but I've got 2 years on the 35s now and so far so good. I'm sure the rack will give out at some point now though with 435k on it 😅

Bought this 2000 LC a few weeks ago... 315/75R16 Nitto Ridge Grapplers

Yes. Unless it's coming from somewhere else. (Like from above)

the boot is more of a dust seal. if there is oil inside the seal is leaking which will be more than just changing the boot

Yeah, I carry spares as well.

No real viable half-measure here in this instance.

If that joint runs dry you risk having to replace your steering rack, which is way more expensive that just the boot. Sealant kits, tape, etc never hold, I'd recommend just replacing the boot.

@cruiseroutfit is a great resource for OEM u-joints.

Definitely go OEM w U joint. Had this drive works one completely snap.

415K miles on the odometer of our 1998 ... had some down time between jobs late last week ... so I spent three casual days doing : 4 new Bilstein shocks from SLEE Front brake pads Timing Belt Water Pump & Drive Belt Power Steering Pump &...

Swapped the old antenna to a fixed version and installed the ASB100 in preparation for a winch while retrofitting the cabin air filters. Hoping this cuts down the amount of dust throughout. Got the 40 gallon tank installed with new fuel...
