Installed new alloy ball joints, tie rod ends, wheel bearings and brakes. Should be good for a few trips.

That's bs. Policy states if the vehicle come in with them on its do-able. If it comes in with them on already, you can also replace at that size even if it's not the recommended size on the door placard.

Those axle caps look sweet. How are they?

Honestly, find somewhere else. Too many problems reported with Walmart for balancing. I remember quite fondly a thread on here where a guy was being told by them that his rim was bent and the tires wouldn't balance. He went somewhere else and they took care of it fine. Not even worth the time.

Hate to say it but I can't blame you. I've had the joy of working with the idiots they hire. Most come in knowing nothing and leave from messing to much stuff up. But they won't let us interview people. Only the managers who know jack about automotive get to conduct the interviews.

Default Front End OverHaul

I am in the middle of a front end over-haul....literally everything. I am going from 3.5" to 5.25" lift over stock up front. Currently running 31's, with zero issues, big hits or under articulation...nothing...looking toward 33's. New Parts below.

  • Rusty's 1-3/4" spacers(on top of previous Rusty's 3.5 HD spring)
  • Core 4x4 Adj Upper and Lower Arms.
  • Synergy Pro Upper and Lower HD Ball Joints.
  • (4) Napa (Premium chassis parts) tie-rod ends...including the big boy.
  • (1) Napa (PCP) tie-rod fro my Rusty's adj track bar.
  • (2) Napa (PCP) Front Hub Unit Bearings.
  • (2) Napa (PCP) front axle u-joints.
Lower BJ are currently being a bit*h. Can't get them out.


See some attached pics...I wasn't happy with the finish out of Core 4x4. So I rattle cann'd them, plus some or the other front end stuff too. Engine paint. Hemi Orange. I still have to bake them to cure. LOL. I am pretty gay for that kind of stuff. You should see the underside of my Subaru. HaHa

Yeah, Of course...but it looks good rolling to the 1st "wheel" after all of the new work. Then, she get's scarred. Just like me. $20 and an afternoon worth of time. Dunno...The Rockies, are pretty...well...Rocky.

Tire Carrier is done, friend of mine just finished welding it up for me.
Because it's a hitch mount I still wanted the ability to haul my quad trailer without removing it and switching inserts.

Installed heavy duty turn signal flasher (now that I installed a hitch and am towing my boat) and also new front shocks (did rears a few weeks ago).
