    I meant to bring it up...when I did my oil change this weekend the Bottom most row of the A/C condenser had broken off and was laying on my skid plate...It's apparently cosmetic on that row as nothing broke...

    And soon for sale a TRD Pro Skid plate (as well as stock tires behind it); pre-battle scarred to up your mall crawling cred :rofl: Also proof that Aluminum it great for weight but not longevity as a skid; this is all from "Easy/Stock" trails. @m603holden I'm looking at you :boink:

    Now just finishing up some mounts (fire extinguisher, shovel/hatchet/TBD, Hi-Lift) for the bed and she'll be good for AOAA & winter. Luckily my coworker welds at home and was able to modify the Hi-Lifts mounts I bought from @BadDNA since I was dumb and forgot my rails are lower than stock :frusty:

    while we're on the sub
    im planning to lift/upgrade suspension to around 2". I am looking at headstrong etc. I will be pulling an enclosed trailer with bike inside (est 2500 lbs) throughout the season.
    anybody have experience with similar setup ? I've read all about timbrens, airbags, aal's. There's just so much info it's hard to know what will work for my specific application.
    No, I'm not planning on doing any hard core wheeling, mostly beach, and a few cruddy roads during hunting season.

    Just got a call from the dealer, two of my falken wildpeaks were bad and they are ordering replacements. Since they are only 10k old I am pretty sure it's being taken care of and I don't owe money...well at least for the tires themselves.

    Happy to have that figured out :thumbsup:

    He said they spent a lot of time with them on the roadforce and he isn't 100% sure, but he thinks the bands might be bad on them? They balance, then they go bad soon after. They are great in everything but rain really, but KO2's suck in the rain too. If these replacements are okay, I would buy them again. If I have more issues I'm going back to Toyo AT2's despite the price and never looking back.

    Yeah, I saw that. Evidently one was reported in New Canaan and a possible one in Norwalk. Heavy thunderstorms up here now.

    Cool, thanks.
    I have ko2s on my Jeep. If I could get the in C/SL load. But they dont do anything better, than any other tire to justify the cost/weight.

    Not really impressed with the stock Kevlars, they stuck all they time.
