| 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.
