The whole time I was like What in the hell is this riff from!!!” I even showed it to my sister who is a huge metal head and she didn’t know. Turns out it was one of the songs played in your videos. Specifically the quadzilla full assembly video. Makes sense because it’s my favorite series of yours. But either way just another thing amazing about the content you put out love the tracks and love what your doing Mike. Keep up all the good work and so excited to see the conclusion of the LTZ build!!!!

Unless the bolt itself has a zerk built into the head of the bolt like on the raptor 660 or if it doesn't then no amount of grease pumped into that zerk is ever gonna get to the bolt inside of that metal sleeve inside of those bushings or bearings. Especially if torqued tight before greasing... id lube em but that's just me.
