What was done to your rig this week?

[OverlanderJK]

Picked up a used set of those too. Is there an orientation to where they get pressed in as far as maybe using the zerks for a reference point?

Front is the easiest for the lowers but rear facing would work as well. You just have to fight the caliper when greasing it. The uppers the grease fitting is on the top of the ball joint so there is no orientation.

Did you use a harbor freight balljoint tool? Not looking forward to doing my own again. My Ram broke 3 tools before I got them done.

I rented one but I just broke it. So I need to return it and am going to buy the harbor freight one.

The harbor freight one will be fine. It's not hard removing them I just messed up the threads on the one I rented. But they don't need to know that.

What's the deal with the wierd zerk? Clearance I assume? Does Dynatrac have fittings for it to grease with

I think you need to make a build thread. Would love to see the process of the stretch

Just my :two cents: but, the black hinges look good as it is and that "roll pan" bumper looks awesome! What are your plans for a spare tire?

Thanks! I run the spare in the cargo area. I have a tuffy security deck that I extended, I made it to fit up to a 42" tire. It has plenty of room for my 37, compressor and all of my tools.
