    Agreed. It’s just how well will a MT hold up against the abuse we put them through.

    You know, I also went from tall skinnies to 35's, and now to 37's. It's a cycle and you have not reached the final form.

    Just proves that there's nothing that zipties and bailing wire can't fix as a trail repair..

    I couldn't believe it either. It works though. I'm gonna end up welding that piece so I never have to worry about it again.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Loosely related to steering column problems... My horn doesn't work :(

    spiral cable needs to be replaced, that's one of the symptoms, next will be non working cruise control and/or airbag light

    I wonder which one does it... I'm only inclined to learn towards the "spiral clock cable" (or whatever the fuck that expensive thing was called) cause if I hit the panic button it honkhonkhonks away.

    Yeah that's where that cable I mentioned above comes into play. But you gotta pull the steering wheel to change it out.

    Takes 45-60 minutes to replace it. Straight forward, nothing to it. There's a decent how to here at TW. Overtime the cable will degrade enough that it will disable the airbag system.
