Nice. Do you remove the ABS sensor when pumping new grease in? How do you relieve pressure?
Also I don't fill the entire cavity with grease, I only put in 30 or so pumps when I installed these and will pump in another 10 or so when I grease my drivelines.
I figure the ultimate gauge will be how much and how high the grease line on the knuckle is on the outside. If your knuckle wipers aren't wet with grease half way up... your running dry in my opinion

I have had this on for about 18mos. This was right after I put them on. I simply unscrew it a bit, put the grease gun on, add some grease, and good to go. Loosening it a bit lets the air out, but I'm not that worried about it. Super clean and easy. No more messing with a baggie full of grease.

I just pull the plug and stuff the end of my grease gun in the hole and pump away
That works too, I just worry about dirt, etc. falling down in there.
Plus, this is MUD so why not overthink everything.

Do you have a link to where you purchased that plug with the zerk in it?
Celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary Covid 19 style, dinner with a beach view at one of my favorite spots, the back of the 80. Followed by a sunset cruise on Pacific Coast Hiway

speed holes.
Sorry @cruiserdan, just got the truck... its next on the list! I promiseThat hood makes me very sad.
I'm using it for polishing practice.
Btw, whatever you do - dont look at my rocker panel. ..
ps.
Also those holes are enough to cause some dangerous wind pressure on the hood at higher speeds? Risking the hood flying up...Dont ask me how I know...but I was very sad as Well

Currently on the scales of justice are the hood and my precious rocker panel job. currently favoring the rocker...
...thinking of installing some sweet cardboard on my hood @cruiserdan
This paint job is very nice. Not that I could have a paint job that nice without wrecking it fast but it looks good on your 80.
Found some glitter in my oil pan 
thats one way to cool the engine compartment
Picked up my seats. I had the Amish in TN redo them.
