I had to get one from NAPA to replace a failed bearing, ordered the other side from Amazon with free shipping for a lot less.

Re: Cable comes off drum

Seen that Red Wrap before, very cool trick! What length of synthetic line are folks getting away with? 100'? I like 80' on the drum, and using extensions if you need more reach. Trying to fit maximum cable on the winch drum just means you have to pull more line to get to the lower wraps on your dru...

Re: Rear drive shaft rub

Has anyone experienced the rear drive shaft rubbing the skids/crossmember at full drop? And if anyone has what was the fix? Thanks With longer-than-OEM shocks on a coil spring rear end, yes. Are you getting contact from the skid crossmember that goes under the driveshaft or from the gas tank skid? ...

The axle seal is outboard of the CAD housing. This looks like gear oil to me.

On my 2015, coming in through the driver side in-floor storage bin. Take the bin out. Run cable through the giant hole in the floor. Reinstall the bin. Easy.

Re: antenna mounts for rambox?

It's just a spring mount for the CB antenna (Alaskans are still mostly using CB, better radios haven't caught on up here). I normally keep it tied down on the highway and in town so I don't do damage in drive-thrus. I've been reading a lot about how mounting behind the cab is really bad. How long i...

Re: Locker Bypass Rebirth

I wonder what safety garbage actually makes locking such a pain. Like what are the conditions and why are they there? I agree you normally wouldnt use lockers until you need them, but by then its too late to engage since you have to be on flat ground, turning in a circle, opening the back door and ...

Should I?

If you want to test the lockers you have to be in 4 low and moving VERY slowly. Like 2-3 mph, but you have to be moving. Also have to be in 4 low for the sway bar, but not so terribly slow. At least that how it works for Gen4 trucks. 4HI or 4LO for the sway bar. Sometimes have rock the truck side t...
