    The bearings are identical to the Maxfan bearings. The part number stamped on the bearing is the same as well. I’ll post up additional detail on cleaning and assembly in the next few days.

    MaxxAir Fan problems and solutions

    I’ve been using two Maxxaire fans in my habitat full time for six years. Both fan motors have needed to be cleaned once or twice a year due to the dreaded squeak. Recently I found replacement bearings on Amazon. So far they are working well. They are also inexpensive so I will replace them each...

    Advice on Shock Absorbers for Overland LJ

The 5160’s have less fade over washboard and seem to be well matched for the weight of my Jeep. Just a thought, if weight is a problem, perhaps your springs are not up to the task. As far...

    Advice on Shock Absorbers for Overland LJ

    I had Bilstein 5100’s on my 2005 Rubicon LJ. It‘s a bit tail heavy and on a 4“ lift, 35’s and heavy beadlocks. The 5100’s performed well and lasted for 7 years and about 70k miles. What I did not like was the ride over washboard and small irregularities. It just felt harsh. I replaced them with...

    Air brake canister 1993 917 AF

    I do not have an MB part number. The brake canister vent elbow looks similar to the cracked ones on my 1982 DAF YA-4440, DAF part number 4720-12-173-8426. I’ve had a bit of a problem finding them in Europe.

    4x4 really necessary?

    I very seldom use 4x4 but, use 2WD low range regularly to control speed over rough sections and for climbing. For that reason alone, I would go with a 4x4 transfer case.
