While some have used the movie as a catapult for hate, the struggle between service and family was heart wrenching to watch. I will not give anything away, all I can say, is that it was a moving movie. It also gave me pause to think and appreciate all that my family has given up to allow me to serve.

To them and to you all who support our men and women in uniform, THANK YOU!
Great movie! Wish we would treat our vets better when they return. They are true heros.

These are for those track thingies people put on their 4 wheelers and side by sides. They are the bolts that hold the shafts that hold the boggy and cog wheels. Then obviously when you grease the zerk the grease flows into the shaft and to the bearings of the boggies and cogs. The zerk is recessed so when trashing threw the mud and woods a stray branch or rock won't shear off the zerk.

They make similar bolts with zerks in them for tandem axle trailers for the spring bushings and the like.

On my trailers I drill out the hubs between the two bearings and install zerks so I can grease the bearings (from the middle pushing the dirt out without removing anything or getting dirty. Bearing buddy caps push the dirt that the bearing pushed out back into and threw both bearings.

Everything should have a zerk!

Those tracks are VERY expensive

There is a company that makes them for RC trucks too, tiny little tracks

RC4WD Predator Tracks (Pair)
