then you gotta go drain all your fluids and repack all the bearings... If you stick to rocks, you can go months without servicing (i dont think you should go months, but its safer than going months with water and mud in there.)

 

[kris97ranger]

oh yea you drive yours daily... mine might get the bearings repacked once a year... if that. and why drain fluids? all my diffs and transmission and transfercase are vented. up to the firewall, i havent drained anything scince i put the new spool in the rear last year. ill pull the fill plug once in a while but thats about it.

plus just straight rocks get boring. i like a good mix of everything

 

[Josh40601]

you should prolly change those fluids.....

For a trail only rig, I would say a minimum of 6 months. If you wheel it pretty regularly.

meh i just did the pinion seals and re-sealed the front end. (last time was done in a rush at 2am) just re-used the fluids it was still all good no water. it'll be fine. like i said it doesnt see street time. its not a ranger. i dunno if that matters

BTW, i thought it was funny that you are into rocks and your SN is "funintheMUD"

LOL

yea that was when i was still "mudding" i've gotten away from that anymore.

 

[Josh40601]

never really a big fan of the mud. I hate cleaning that shit up.
