new to the site and new owner to a 2002 Conquest 8x8

[BARE]

I am in the finishing stages of changing all 16 axle bearings and 2 idler shaft bearings. I purchased all my gear from adair and he has some nice adapters for older conquest so the new HD bearings will bolt right up. It's not cheap to do but I hope to not have any bearing issues for a while. Adair is awesome to work with as well.

Hey BARE,
Don't mean to hijack the thread, but, Why are you changing ALL those bearings and then NOT changing the last 2 IS bearings? Were they just done reciently?

I was kind of thinking that same thing today. I wasn't planning on changing the right side either but one of them had some play in it. The left side is tight but I may go ahead and change them that way every bearing in the thing is new. I am a little OCD so may not be able not to change them. I am tired of spending money is one reason.
