Damn typo!

Seeing SLDMTN's truck really makes me want to go big with my SD but it would probably more fun to get an old scout or bronco for pure wheeling.

I did replace a wheel bearing (same thing?) when I first picked up the truck. The other side had no play in it.

I agree is truck is extremely bad ace but I dont think youd want to DD that every day.

best to have a DD and a toy.

Broke part of a transmission line. Started spewing tranny fluid way out in the woods.

(Because right before the trip we changed his tranny fluid hahaha.)

lucky isnt the word for it haha

X2...guess that was your bad experience ahaha

but i think its still easier to have 2 people and 2 vehicles then it is to have all the parts and tool you might need haha

what the hell are these unit bearings you are complaining about? i have never even heard of them before haha

thing is...everyone has a big badd bronc on 44s...how many SDs are build to offroad like SLDMTNS truck? there may be a lot of them, but not nearly as many as there are broncos or even late 70s f-series

That is half of the appeal. Maybe I need to buy a F350 dually I have been wanting for street use and then really go big with my first love the F250.

Anyone got next week's lotto numbers?

Unit bearings are the front wheel bearings on the stupid duties. The are kinda like the front wheel bearings on the front of a IFS pickup
