I mount them on the front. I make my mounts out of bolts, I weld them to the tube sticking straight out. When the axle twists the bolt can rotate in the bushing. When you build tabs and put a bolt through it, then twist it up like we do offroad it's pretty hard on the bushings.

Unless you orient the bolt perpendicular to the axle tube, like Pigpen. BOOM
On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
I got one hub off on my sterling, but the other side is stuck, it's not coming off. The screwdriver method worked for the side I got off, but the other side broke the teeth off the hub socket I got. Can I cut the nut off and buy a new nut for it?

I bet you are turning it the wrong way. One side is reverse thread.

The driver side is reverse thread, same as my 609. Took me a bit to figure that out too.
Congrats man, finally busted that nut!

Well this may be a new one, but long story short I am an idiot and slightly bent the tower on my project boat. Im so pissed at myself. I need some brilliant ideas on something I can do to get it somewhat close to being straight again.
Heres some pics. Hard to tell fromm the rear unless in person, the front pic shows how its off better. If you look at the portside( left) you can see how it runs straight up a long the window and the starboard (right) side is bowing out off the window. I pulled off all the racks and speakers to try to get something working
I tried placin a board and using the ol BFH but no luck. Any of yall have any good ideas to try or am I ****ed? This **** is expensive to get replaced so I really just want to get it straight enough for the average person to not notice.
You can remove the tower all the way off too if that helps.
Can you pull it back in from the other side with a winch/come along/high lift/ something else of that nature?

Ive though about it, Id have to tie down one side and then pull off the other side. Only thing is im not exactly sure where to tie to bend the right section. Ive looked at it so much its fn with my eyes.Take it off, chain it to a tree and then pull it straight with your jeep

That and Id prob have to do it with it on the boat because if I bent it wrong off the mounts might not line back up
