Twinsies !!!!

Sadly mine will never see the snow or be street registered


Farm truck

 

the MT knobs literally screw on & off, there are no tricks to it.

 

the finish is a rough dry-feeling powder coat. not rubbery at all.

 

Has anyone here ran 15in wheels on there 3rd Gem like on the low profile 2nd gems.

 

I think the callipers and drums will not allow for it to fit, 16 is the minimum.

 

Yeah this thing is great! TBH, I haven't thought that far ahead but I know it's gonna be hellish cold on the hand in the winter lol. We've got some crafty guys at my work who could stitch me up a leather sleeve or something if I provide the materials.

 

I'm sporting an aluminum since Feb...it does get cold! I do have a reason to don my driving gloves tho!

 

I'm thinking even some black shrink tube for the winter months in a pinch. We have some pretty large diameter stuff at work... I wouldn't use the stuff with adhesive inside though. Meh, that's several months away.. frig it!

 

Yup, I'm curious how the hot summer (black truck) is gonna be lol. I've got a titanium in the hopper and mebbe it'll be more temp tolerant...not that it matters cuz, Ti

 

Smoked a 4 lb venison roast shreaded it no making chili for my neighbors. Proving them wrong. They think the only way to eat venison is sausage sticks mixed with pork. But I love my venison steaks n back straps or neck straps.

 

my new setup.......

 

4 Speed... I’ve been a fan of shifting gears my entire life. Learned to drive on a 1993 Dakota 5 Speed, owned at least a dozen more manuals throughout my life. That said my new truck...

Is an Auto. And to be honest. It’s damn handy to have my wife drive if I’ve had a few too many IPA’s...

The FJ will always stay in my garage for those days I’d rather use 3 pedals.

 

Never had a GF or wife that couldn't drive a manual. In fact, most all of them owned manuals as well. I must live in the sticks

 

I knew my wife was the one when she was selling cars at the Jaguar Bentley dealership and she called me to work to help her drive 1 of 2 different colored XKRs out to Malibu with her to a customer's house. Before we left, she hopped in a Porshe 911 Turbo and ripped around the lot to park it. It was just badass.

 

That's a 2018 MT SR? Can fleet guys order those?

 

Titanium you say?

Are those the knobs made by the guy on here?

If so, they seem awesome.. even attaches to the stock boot.

 

Yup, Rick is in the process of procuring some Ti...and yeah his integrate directly with the boot collar. Reach out to him on the buy/sell section.

 

Put a sock on it!

 

There are some good options:





Hell yeah!

But, I like the leather idea. I want the redlinegoods boot and console kit in a bad way.

 

My gf has sewing skills, and I've been trying to convince her to get the necessary needles to develop a leather ballsack™. Not sure the increase of diameter would feel all that great, though.
