    Just too bad the km3 aren't coming out in a 37" at least for now. They look like they are going to be decent tires

    If it's anything like what I've experienced with bikes and fork legs, you will need heat and some sort of penetrating oil

    Just got these guys in, both have different set top caps, need to get normal 0* caps so everything is lined up correctly. Need to get the caps off anyway to get them coated

    feel kinda dumb but i just took the top cap off one of these guys cause it was loose so i stuck a screw driver through the eyelet and gave a twist and it came loose. took it off and re threaded it on and it came to a different stop. so they must all be the same just started at different angels for them to land in the correct direction. cool beans i dont have to spend 200$ for top caps now lol

    External only, like they take them off, change a bit, and hand them back?! Jesus...

    Yea I was going to look into them tuning mine when I'm finally fully built...

    Check out @kevinwithdialed on Instagram - he's in Bellflower and I don't think he charges that much compared to KDM.

    He posts some bad ass stuff. Kinda want to eventually have him color match my coils when it's time.

    That was more of a reaction of holy shit it's that much for a tune... But at the same time I dunno why I'm surprised...

    Yea well either way Roy is the man when it comes to tuning ok seriously one of the best out there. Trucks like the jug, psychotic tundra, Bret Jenkins ME truck come to mind for the well known super good running trucks.
