It doesn’t specify the brand, but refers to them as “top quality”. I’ll ask tomorrow when I call.

They make their own? Brand says fusion. That’s not very promising.

That does seam pretty quick for that to fail. Atleast its not expensive and maybe under warranty, that would be nice.

Me too. I haven’t run it hard on the trail in months. It’s just been road miles, so it may just have been a bad set of bearings.

It’s the road miles that did it in. It needs more trail time!!
Hope you get it worked out soon.

You know, you might be right!

Well, the diagnosis is that the spindle nut came loose, causing the bearing to come loose and then come apart. Fusion is sending a rebuild kit free of charge. This is only the second time He's seen this happen, so it is just dumb luck that it happened to me. Hopefully by the end of the week I'll have a new set and and I'll get them installed.

How would they know the spindle nut came loose from a phone call?

Blue loctite is your friend.

Bison’s back to normal. I had my buddies shop press the new bearings in verses running the risk of me not tapping them in perfectly. I put 100 miles on it and the hub temps are back to equal on both sides. So that problem is solved.

And we added a new jeep to the family today.




I can say that I am throughly impressed with the new GC L. The really have stepped up their game to compete with Range Rover all the way down level 2 autonomous driving.

Oh congrats on the nice new rig and the fix on the JK.

Nice! We've been looking at those, might just do a true full size SUV but I feel like you and I have similar car taste lol

The wife was just telling me she wanted a 3rd row vehicle and I was looking at these… spill the beans on all of it…. Likes/dislikes etc. They don’t have any locally to check out and if they do, they’ll likely be bare bones as basic as you get get it.
