Oops. Missed part of your question. I packed the trunnion bearings and all my wheel bearings with synthetic bearing grease. It seemed strange to do that when you realize the moly will mix with the grease in the trunnions, but who am I to argue with mr. Toyota?? :)
I have looked at several moly grease tech data sheets. None are compatible with aeroshell 17. I know that a couple long time 80 owners used the same grease (yes, it is aviation grease). It is good stuff.
I would use CAT if I could. Looking at the application specs for aeroshell, I am guessing...
Happy Holidays to all!
I haven't asked for help from the group for some time, but I have run out of options.
I used aeroshell 17 in my birfs a couple years back and have almost run out of it. I haven't been able to find any as it has been discontinued and replaced with aeroshell 33MS which...
They would not be cast iron, they would be ductile iron. Should be more than enough strength for this application. I will confirm that if this project gets off the ground.
Clearly there are several factors to consider. I carry mine on the roof because I have to at the moment. I don't recommend it really. A rear mounted carrier is creeping up my list of things to get done ..
IF you are a little short dude, I say find a better solution. If you are a big, tall dude, I say go for it. If you are like me, somewhere in between, do it if you are under 40 years old. If you are over 40 years old, you can still do it but make sure you have a lighter tire/wheel combo than...
I have them in 315's on my rig. Basically unstoppable believe it or not. Really crazy mud will stop them, but they truly are an awesome tire. Great in the winter too. Best AT out there in my opinion.
