Cv's all fine to now. Wheel bearings i kind of knew were coming, at about 15,000 i discovered the axle nuts were kinda loose( two loose,one finger tight)- I'm sure the bearings wobbled enough to knock the seals out. At a little over 20,000 she with good ears heard a growl when on asphalt about the same time the brake pedal got spongy- no bearing left to make the rotor run true, pushes the piston back into the caliper, takes a pump to have brakes. Jacked it up to confirm what i knew, real obvious. All hooked up now, ready to head home in the morning. Been just hanging out enjoying the weather for a week now in QUARTZSITE. Kathy says hi, wishes you kids would stay in touch a little better. No worries, i took care of the cookies.What were your symptoms/how did you find the wheel bearings were going out? (What do I look for - noise or did you grab a wheel and shake it?) How are you CV joints holding up? My inner LR gave up at 8100 miles and I have almost no pavement miles on mine, quite different than you. Say Hi to Kathy.
Desert - Yep, forced myself to pack mid winter 🥶 🥶 🥶 and headed for King of the Hammers. The first night out, west of Green River, Utah, it got down to 13*; 🥶 🥶 🥶 damn glad the RV started that morning.KOH is quite a spectacle and worth the trip but you don’t get to see much of the race, YouTube streaming with multiple drones live footage is better for that. The cold I thought I had in November came back in Johnson Valley, apparently my lungs don’t like the white dust of the desert. I’ll have to be more careful in the future. 😢
After the race, I headed to Quartzsite. It’s been chillier than usual per the people here, but still warm enough to ride almost 1000 miles around the 4 quadrants of hwy 10 and 95. Another couple of days here and I’m headed for Hanksville, there are a few small rides that look promising on Google Earth.
Yesterday, rotated CW to fit the screen -

Must be nice, you live in the desert, leave the desert to go camping in another desert. 😛 Yeah, maybe we should talk once inna while. LOL Never thought you’d leave home in the ‘winter’, is it still chilly up there? 🥶Cv's all fine to now.

If ya dont mind me asking, where did you get those?Installed Shift Gate and Dash Cover. Was nervous on taking off the shift knob, due to post on difficult. I can’t remember what poster said to use a heat gun. Once heated, came off like butter. Broke last rivet on Dash cover, will replace tomorrow.
