    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Yeah but the curved lines of a few places made drilling a straight hole a simply fun(ck'd) experience.

    I ran into the same predicament but was able to pull it off nicely. However, it's a mod I won't volunteer to do for someone else. With that one I'm strictly an observer... I mean supervisor. haha

    Agreed! I even used a punch and a non-marring hammer to try and score my holes... Still walked the fucker everywhere. Oh well. It's in one piece that's all I care about.

    Ya, I don't give a damn about the color as it's under the hood 95% of the time. They'll only be visible when working under neath and who cares about that haha. However I sadly have to get the PLUS as they don't offer the basic for the 16s

    Ahhhh. Roger that. Like I tell everyone else, when you install them use rivets where the directions say to use the supplied self tappers. Those tappers will vibrate with your rig off road and strip out the hole. I seent it! Haha Those tappers are more for vehicles remaining on pavement.

    I hear you, man. I get updates whenever a group buy launches. The worst, coolest choice I've made here.

    Not sure, if you got an idea on where to go lemme know. Me and Melissa might go do some wine tasting thing on Sunday in Costa Mesa if nothing else comes up. I definitely want to get out in the dirt though

    I'm down with anything I get can through without "needing" sliders. Don't care if my tubs get jacked up, since sliders are coming soon :welder:, but I don't need to warp the sheet metal they're attached to.

    Keep me posted with your findings at the brewery tonight. The oc thread had a possible camping thing planned but Mike and Madison got sick so they post poned till next week. I'm off tomorrow-sun. Tomorrow I'm re-routing my exhaust and burning on my spindle gussets and Saturday Sara and I could be down to wheel and or camp. Chan, @bigbarlo turned me on to a few cool yellow post camp sites in Idyllwild. One of them has a running creek nearby. We could also go exploring in search of the yellow post sites in Santa Maria which like idyllwild is off the 74

    Edit: fixed some typos

    MJT is really the only trail I know of like that where sliders are "needed"...there's always Cleghorn but I don't know if the fires have closed that area down or not. Also Rowher, Drinkwater Flats, or Big Bear but I'm not familiar with that area
