This must be an epidemic. I'm getting ready to do all of the above too. Got new ball joints, hubs, and u-joints ready to go. Just have to recover from surgery and hope for a sunny day. Oh, and I just discovered I'll be swapping in a new steering box too. I hope it goes smooth for all of us

Got the hubs and axles out. Passenger came easy but I broke my SnapOn breaker bar doing the driver's side. Had to borrow my buddies monster bar.

Beating the hubs and axles out was not too bad. The brake shields do get in the way to get clean shot.

The driver's side hub is failing so I'm glad I decided to do it and it's not just a pure "might as well".

Getting some weeping of differential oil. Hope it's just coming over the top of the seal since I just did a fluid change and it's plenty full.

This hub was OK the other has 1/8" of play by hand, how much under loads IDK.

Drove home. Headlight trim skipped off on interstate. Needed a new one anyway.
Put wipers on.
Filled wiper fluid. Reservoir has hole.
Topped off brake fluid.
Put plate covers on.
Took the Mrs to Dinner in it.
Drove it around tonight and the LEDs are beautiful.
Loving the truck. Feeling good.

Got my 3" lift done and got some 31-10.50 BFG's put on! Also worked on getting more of the adhesive off the side where I removed the ugly molding.

Very nice! I picked one of those to mount to my center console for a rear seat cup holder. Have yet to mount it though.

Thanks... I was considering locating one on the back of the console as well but I haven't looked into how much it might interfere with folding the rear seat down, which I do often.

It folds flat enough that it shouldn't. Maybe I'll get around to finding out when I get around to fixing the broken console support.
