    "beadlock ring" holes

    had a thought this morning and wondering if anyone else has had the same thought or has done it. On the "beadlock" ring, there are 8 more holes in the rim that were not drilled in the ring.

    AAM ball joint delete

If so, what issues, if any have you had? And trimming you did? How bad did it affect towing with the 37's as far as...

    6.4L oil filter

    So I ran into a little problem today doing my oil change. I normally use a WIX 57060 or 57060XP oil filter. So I grab a filter and oil and head home. Go and grab my cup oil filter wrench and go to check it on the new filter and the filter is smaller than the wrench. WTH? So I climb under the...
