I think this is why Schuey used serviceable bearings on their early off-roaders. The manual told you to clean and re-oil the bearings periodically to preserve your investment. I have not been able to confirm, but I suspect the CAT bearings were actually repurposed Mini Cooper wheel bearings. :lol: O...

Bolink FTW ! I grew up around a lot of bikers (the big tough bearded Harley riding kind, not the spandex and pointy helmet kind) and I could swear "FTW" meant something different back then. :lol: Congratulations on the win, although I must confess, my vote went to the Ford Thunderbird bod...
