Thanks!

 

The hubs are RugedRidge.. Big mistake getting those, one just went bust. Popped it open thinking it was the bearing, just to realize that they DONT have a bearing.

 

I'm on the hunt for WARN ones, do you know if they do use bearings?

Must be user error or a defect. Many guys here use these hubs with no problems.

What part failed? None of the hubs use ball bearings; not RR's, Warns, or even OEMs.  They have sleeve bearings that do need light lubrication (hub grease) however.

You just taught me something.

The bronze bushing has wear, so the shaft ist not snug anymore. This creates vibration. Did apply some grease and the rubbing/vibration stoped. How ever, its just a patch until I change de Hub. Now just have to decide to replace that just one, or buy a pair in other brand.

Warn seems to have a wider bushing? at least, seems so in the pics.

The contact width on all of them isn't that wide, maybe < 0.5", but I'm not sure wider is necessarily better.  Probably don't want things being too snug either.  It's ok if there's a little tolerance (the exposed tip of the CV has a little play, too), so long as it's not wobbling around or creating high/low spots in the sleeve.  Main thing is lubrication, but not too much (otherwise the clutch ring won't disengage easily).

 

Not sure how easy it is to just find a single unit, but if you get a new pair, you'll have at least a spare.  Though, seems like these may be ok still.  Is there still a gasket in place to keep elements out?

I replaced my entire front suspension. Also replaced both axels. I didn’t replace wheel bearings. I replaced inner and outer tie rods, swaybar bushings and links as well. Anything that had to do with the suspension I replaced.

 

good to know, thank you!

Is anyone familiar with how this roof rack is set up? Would it have issues with a sun roof? Also would it be safe to stand on? Looking for something similar for my pathy.

What is the roof rack setup used here as well? It is super clean! Will it work if my '01 LE has a sunroof?

Did you swap out your headlights?

 

 

Yes! I'll probably do a more in-depth post in my build thread when I can but these are headlight buckets that a guy in Australia designed & 3d printed, and allow you to swap in LED sealed beam style 5x7 lights. There are cheaper options for the 5x7 lights themselves, but I went with a set of Morimoto LED's.
