A clip from Detroit a few months ago. Makes me want to get on a plane right now to see them again.

Also remembered, I’ve never posted this here. Figured y’all might get a kick out of it.

Complete noob, forgive me. Question about setting up ethernet/fiber media converters between main and mini Starlink mesh routers.

I am planning on switching to Starlink 100 mbps at our two vacation cabins as we’re only getting about 5mbps from our current isp. The cabins are about 100 ft. apart. The plan is to go ethernet hardwired from the dish to the main router in the first cabin, and then fiber between the main router and the mini mesh router in the second cabin. Does it look like the hardware I’ve picked out will jive? I checked the faq first and I didn’t find much about this at a glance, sorry if I overlooked anything, Thanks!

The notorious driveshaft carrier bearing took a crap on my 2019 FX4. Anyone here try the JXB Performance carrier and bushing? Body text for more details.

Install was fairly easy. Went with their street bushing and a new Spicer u joint where I separated it. Match marked everything and reassembled both halves as they came apart. Ended up getting a pretty bad intermittent vibration from 40 mph on up. Sometimes I can throttle out of it and sometimes throttle exacerbates it. Dropped the assembly again and it’s going to a driveline specialist tomorrow to be rebalanced.

Anyone else go through this yet and did you have success?

Side note, I am aware of the one piece options but wanted to stick with the two piece for critical speed, sometimes I push 85 mph for extended periods on long freeway trips.
