[VAL] Hub protection
Gerald:
I probably will also be crossing creeks with Bubbles and got the
straight axle to get a few more inches. Can bearing buddies be put on
any hub do you know? I was quail hunting 2 winters ago and drove across
a sandy, gravely bottomed creek and the next day the brakes on my truck
sort of locked up. I had it put up on a low boy trailer and the dealer
had to hose out a lot of crud to get me rolling again. That was a '95
Toyota truck (4WD) before the "pre runner" or Tacoma came out later in
'95 and it was pretty high off the ground. Now I have a 4WD Tundra and
so far this has not happened to it. But it does make you wonder about
water getting into the hubs.
