    I may have tweaked a few things...
    I was at Tire & Wheel Mart on Fulton. I had them remount my tires when I bought new rims last summer, and I might go back to them for my next tires. But I’ll think twice about letting them touch anything else again.

    Doesn’t matter. Is a spider. All are deadly and should die a very painful death.

    Creepiest thing I’ve ever seen was in Cozumel. When the wind blew these Tarantulas would curl up into a ball and blow along with the wind. Creepy as fuck.

    So funny thing is, they’re not technically spiders. But as the saying goes “if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck”.

    Biggest one I saw was about the size of my hand completely open. Fuck no, fuck no, FUCK NO!

    More shit then I ever planned on doing
    I hate snakes the most but the flying Beatles the size of birds in Thailand kinda freaked me out a little bit. My buddy and I were riding on the scooters one night coming back from a bar and one landed on the back of his neck and started crawling down his shirt. He pulled over and started running around ripping off his clothes like Ricky Bobby screaming get it off. Funniest shit I’ve ever seen.

    I’ve done all the service so if anything isn’t torqued it’s already on me :p
    Edit - minus tires/alignment/welding

    But these guys were clicking torque wrenches as I walked up

    I have checked my cam bolts after alignments before and they had some to go before my wrench clicked at 100

    That photo is tweaked, they not that big. The south American one is bigger... theraposi blondi - size of a dinner plate

    Those aren't even spiders, just a non-dangerous distant cousin

    (And good eatin' when properly prepared ...)

    somewhat figured out what suspension im going with.... for now. i have the Dakars with standard length 5100s right now. going to swap those for the B110's for the rear. front im thinking of the OME 885 or 886 coils (not sure if the 886 will be too stiff without a winch/bumper since they are considered "heavy"). as far as front shocks i havent quite narrowed down what i want, so i will just run the bilsteins i have up there now. biggest thing for me right now is swapping those rear shocks out since they are maxed on extension. sick of hearing them extend all the way out over a small speed bump haha. now to just search around for the cheapest places to get these parts

    *edit*
    just read on another thread to stay away from 886 coils unless you are putting quite a bit of weight up front. so i am going to go 885's. still taking suggestions and stories of experience with certain setups
