Like noname said, doesn't seem very active around here, but I'll try my luck. Sadly I had to say bye to the LGT last year, but my loss could be your gain! If anyone is looking for roof rack components, I am selling Thule 480 footpacks (with 4th gen fit kit) locally:

Full set of 4 with fit kit 1340 for our naked roofs. I have fitted each tower with Thule N107 lock cores & have a matching key. Bought gently used & they are still in good shape.

 

Cash or venmo if local, venmo preferred if shipping (paypal okay too). Buyer pays any shipping / fees if applicable.

 

Only post here if you're interested, including any questions, and make all offers in this thread. I will not respond to questions or offers via PM. PMs will only be used to exchange payment or delivery information.

 

Available Items:

1. Set of 4 thule footpacks w/ fit kit, key, and locks. $100 firm
   

Quick plug here, but if you get the chance, and haven't already done it, I suggest going down to Hopkins brewery, good pub with great brews, and even better people.

 

Spent my NYE there! Only a 20 min walk from my place. Thought the beer was pretty good. I will have to go back to try their food.

Nice! I drove my last wagon here from Philly. What part of PA you from?

 

Cool! I'm from Amish country: Lancaster.

 

I'm used to buying liquor at the state store back home, but the alcohol laws out here are even weirder than I imagined.

Transplant from the east coast. Drove my leggie out here from PA. Will be around for a few years. Loving SLC so far. Didn't get to bring any tools w/ me.. Hopefully I can make a friend or two on here until I get a reasonable setup (:

Thanks for the advice, krazy. I will keep that in mind for the future.

 

The bearing came off the hub in about 30 seconds with an air chisel. May or may not have had anything to do with it sitting in PB for a few days.

Wow, didn't know I could find such a heart touching story on this forum. I'm pretty new to the site, but I have an understanding of the type of research and amount of time that you put into the car. It was really cool to see the progression of your car. I am really glad you are both okay, and really sorry how the vehicle went out. Best of luck in future endeavors. I'll keep a lookout for your next build thread

Tomorrow will be my third day of fighting my stuck bearing. Only working on it in the evenings after work though, so not as much time as it seems. Wish I had read through the majority of this thread before tackling this project. I buggered up the studs pretty bad, so the slide hammer and old rotor tricks seem to be out of the picture.

 

I was feeling a bit defeated today and thought popping the ball joint down and sliding the axle out would give me a little more room to beat on the bearing from the rear. It definitely opened things up a bit, however the space is still really congested and there's not much room to swing a hammer.

 

Going to try to get my hands on an air chisel tomorrow. This thing has been soaking in penetrating oil for about 24 hours now. Great thread btw, thanks for everyone's contribution.
