I can retire in 7 months if I want to. More riding time is a good thing.

Not much has been said about wheel bearings. Would like to hear from other LR owners how many miles you got on your original bearings.

Haven't had any issues with mine at just over 20k but I kinda figured I might change them out at next tire change just to be on the safe side.

That is a good idea. I had mine replaced at 30K at the tech said mine were trashed.

I lost a rear one at 24k and 150 miles from home, was lucky a UHaul dealer close. bought some good quality ones to replace and also pack a bit more grease into them.

For many of us, we need to get our ride time in now. Unlike those that live farther south, we have a shorter riding season.
