    This looks like it can be a great day run and money is going for a good cause.

    Hey guys and gals I have resurfaced, lol. Had a few issues arise at once so that created mayhem for a few weeks! :angrygirl:;)
    Hope everyone had a great Halloween weekend and the last month for that matter.



    Those Damn straight axle vehicles...My Jeep does it so bad I drive with the window open and no seat belt in case I have to bail haha. I have no time to fix my own stuff, and I have the same issue, I just forget cause Im doing 10 other things, as a one man show everybody else's stuff comes first!
    Its usually slop in one or more in the front balljoints or bearings. Lots of pivot points on a straight axle steering!

    Those 10 year old out of balance tires aren't helping things either.

    Glad to see you guys busy. I know it's frustrating when customers get excited about getting their stuff back.

    I'll pass this info to my friend. He just moved back to San Diego from Colorado. He just got a job at Amato's Auto Body but he doesn't think he'll last long due to all the negative energy there.

    So going with chuncked up Super swampers might make things worse?

    I just checked my mail box. The mail man must have lost my invitation for this.

    It's a super quick desert trip of mostly dirt bikes. I won't leave you guys hanging. Probably only an hour or so of dirt time with the truck. If any, if I break off a mount or run into an issue.

    Hi Guys!
    Nothing much new here...
    Baja 1000 soon, but I am not going.
    I am in the middle of installing LED lamps to replace my broken Kragen HIDs and the old Cibie Super Oscar halogen and finally, my two Hella 4000 spot lamps that I converted to HID.
    I got (first) a pair of LED spot beams and they are on in place of the broken Kragen lamps (one of which was since replaced with my old Cibie lamp).
    Next, I got a pair of the same brand LEDs (Cree 4D 60 watt 7" metal) but with combo wide beam and spot beam... which together should create a driving beam...? Won't know until I mount them and turn them on! Wife and I are on vacation soon, so will get to that later this month and I will share photos.

    Now, here is what the combo wide/spot LED looks like:

    You still gotta drive it up and down that mountain, bias-ply's might not be the best for that.

    I'd be in for Corral, I just gotta trouble shoot my e-locker i'm done with the one tire fire
