Your call, your cash

My Jeep will be passed down to my boys. So, I would want it done right.

Doing things right, was a curse passed down from my father.

ahah my jeep makes that noise. my steerin also become tough as **** when im lettin it creep. i just turn up the volume on the boombox i have in my backseat(i have no stereo installed.. dont find it worthwhile cuz i am buildin a mud bogger and pond sinker. why bother install a highend stereo thats just gonna get water soaked time and time again?

not to be off topic. but i seen a youtube vid of someone sinkin a H1 COMPLETELY. thought it was pretty cool. wish they made hummers like that again. those are the ONLY hummers i respect as a highend offroader. once saw an original Desert storm humvee while at safeway parking lot

What is the name of the rubber bits that sit between TREs that get packed with grease? I went to grease up the front end today and the ones on the pitman arm and driver's side steering knuckle burst out. (Both felt soft, neither firmed up so I think they were already ripped, driver's side knuckle was particularly annoying because it never even felt like it was getting firm, just all of a sudden I could see the grease mashed all over the rotor lol)

Probably something to burp air pressure I've never noticed it on mine. Take it out and put some thread sealer on it. Good to go.
