Default Bearing Oil

I just wanted to check in to see what OIL everyone is using to lube their CR-01 bearings before I start my build?

None at first. But I have gone back through the truck with some Trinity oil.

I have Trinity oil as well. I've only cleaned and re-oiled the bearings once since I've had this rig and that was about 2 weeks ago. And I only did the bearings in the ends of the axles and where the drive shafts enter. They probably didn't even need it, when i removed them they all spun perfectly, even after all those water crossings

Water will get in the tranny regardless. That big opening in back where the pinion is will let it in unless you can block it off somehow.
