I just got done putting a T-18 in my jeep.Take her for a test ride I thought.Go about 8 miles in the woods fawking tire falls off.I guess you should grease the bearings every once in a while.They pretty much disintegrated.Nice walk home.Happened to my friend last year.I ragged the shit out of him.How many of you has this happened to?Lucky thing I was going two mph.

ever heard of Karma?


I did miss the tech though.....junk.

you shouldn't make bearings outta dynamite.

Two quick lessons to be learned here:

1. maintain your vehicle
2. :cow:

it's your heeps way of saying you need exercise

heh.. try havin one let go dooin 45. with a 150' sheer drop off the passenger side, with no gaurdrail, with your wife and 8month old son with you. :eek:


I bought a couple lotto tickets this day.

i had mine toast on the highway twice


too much water/mud washes the grease out, not good, not good at all.

ever heard of Karma?



Yeah, they make Cappuccino machines (http://www.karma-inc.com/cappucci.htm) in Wisconsin :flipoff2:

hibbing eh? from tower myself..

A good tip is to fill the hubs with mercury lowerunit oil, it tolerates water in it better than anything else.

Should've drove it home.

a bearing failed on my dad's 78 f150 4x4 while bringing a free, old, extremely heavy camper home from seattle about 10 years ago. it shot out the passenger side tire and axle shaft, the tire bounced off the guard rail and landed on the other side of I-5.

my dad's managed to kill 3 9" rears in that truck. most of the time it's hauling wood...if he wasn't planning on junking it(never took care of it so it just rusts away until he uses it once a year) i'd put a 60FF in the rear

Must be a Jeep thing... :flipoff2:
