Took my rear seats out and put in a false floor to create abit more space for the dogs. The seats were always folded anyway so I won't miss them. Still room under the floor to stash my small tool box and ammo case with my shackles and pulley blocks in. After changing left front bearing somthing is still grumbling so will do the drivers side aswell to see if that cures it. I have a split gaiter and am hoping its not the cv going. Finaly got around to ordering a diff plate as it is leaking oil all over the drive.

Believe it or not the alternator pulley at the top can grumble if the bearing gets dry.
