    Think you had some auto correct issues there.. hurt my brain a bit haha what was the “canne” supposed to be?

    Whole truck shakes or just the steering wheel?

    And mostly steering wheel. Saw my phone in the mount shaking a little but not as drastic as the steering. I hate auto correct lately, thinking about turning it off. I swear it looked good before I posted lol

    I'm typically around $85ish for a total bill. Use is around 375 kwh.

    I think it's a good plan to build a smaller house. Lots of people have enormous ones for no real reason. It's just more to heat, power, and maintain.

    My 1500 sq ft is kind of excessive for one person, but it helps that the house is odd. I only have two bedrooms, so the space went to common areas. I have two large living rooms and an enormous kitchen and dining room. It's perfect for one person or a couple without kids, and I think that's a lot of the reason I liked it so much (well that and the good-sized garage and the river). It also makes it less marketable, but I was buying for me--not for the person I might eventually sell it to.

    $40k for a camry!?! Holy crap

    Hm yeah might be good to have all 4 checked for balance, and if they can check for roundness (usually they can do that on a road force machine)
    Are the wheels not hub centric?

    Nope they aren't. Guess I'll go back to Zeke's but frankly they'll be off in a month or so for winter, back to stock wheels and the st maxxs for winter

    Ya my son stayed up there this summer and did both peaks in a day, then returned to the cabin to hike down the next day. And yes I am sure it's worth the hike, just as there are parts to Acadia that are worth the hike, but to get to the top and see those cars...

    Gotta have room to grow! Our plan is to live there as long as our family fits, and then since it is right next to our business rent it out/sell it to ourselves. Right now we have no kids and will have two bedrooms. Little kids can share a room for a while, so we won't be moving anytime soon even if we have a few.

    Awesome on road, no real noticeable difference in handling, but very planted. Where it shines is dirt roads and poorly maintained roads. Cycles real nice.

    I have the total chaos MT uca’s and dirt king MT lca’s. They pair beautifully. Only reason I didn’t go LT in the front is because the narrow track of the MT for around where I live is very handy. lots of narrow parking spots and streets. Still articulates plenty for when I do get a chance to wheel it.

    I had posted this on another thread but this happened to my daughter last week. She's still sore and has some pain but no broken bones. Idiot that did this only had less than 1000' to get going fast enough to set off both of his airbags and push her into the car in front of her. Bent and twisted her seat back too. He never hit the brake.

    Smooth I assume? Looks like I might be going back, a little shaky between 50-63mph

    Ya, so far it’s pretty good. Had it up to 65. I’ll take to work tomorrow and get it out at various speeds and see how it is.
