little update ... ive had it out 2 other times havent caught anything yet though i got a current fishing lisence now so ill be fishing in az (only on the ca side of the lake though) I just need a new reel for my rod cause mine sucks and i gotta figure out whats biting at havasu this time of year
Anyhow, my dads friend was lookin at it and was like you plan on drivin this beast to az? and im like yea, and he points at the old ass tires and goes those are gonna blow for sure .... so new tires are $30 each but harbor freight tools had rims and tires for $40 each so i got those, so now im ridin 12s instead of 9s lol.
Also am putting new bearings in and regreased, its lookin pretty good.
walmart bearing buddy knockoffs (red eye) ... these were on there, we got the new bearings at walmart and whoever fixed this thing up last time bought all the parts at walmart lol. What these do is they contract and keep water from going into the bearings when you put the hubs (which are hot from towing) into the cool lake water, cause normally the heat creates a vaccum.
old bearings, cotter pins, etc. I cleaned everything with gas
hub assembly
gotta love it bein so light i dont even need a jack, just lift it up and slide cinder blocks under it
axle with nothing on it, cleaned this up too
old wheels, maybe they will work on my wheelbarrow lol, im taking the one that doesnt leak with us so i can have a spare tire
new wheels
no more all clear tails on my car got pulled over, so i painted the braking part red.
peace and watch for a pic thread from our arizona trip in the lounge in june.
