    No camera. Speed trap and a patrol car. I was maybe 8 or 10 over posted limit after having crested a hill. I was already on the brake. He didn’t care. Bastards. Loved New Zealand but I won’t go back. Too many other places to see.

    I do not have any experience with that fortuntaley. Just saw a news story years back.

    If I ever have to run a red light I'll make sure to hide my right hand and left hand though.

    Not enough to have a build thread.
    Leaf sprung? Coilover? Air shocks?

    I'd suggest using a Toyota front axle over a Dana 44 but that's just my preference

    Does anyone in the bay area have a FSR adventure series tent they I could come look at? Specifically looking for the m55 tri-layer but doesn't have to be. Does anyone have a FSR tri-layer tent? Is it worth the extra money to get the tri-layer?

    I'm on the fence about pulling the trigger and would like to see one in person if possible. I'm located in San Francisco.

    A CVT Mt. Theilsen would work also if anyone has one of those.

    So.........
    I've got the Weathertech window visors on my '15, and @OneGiraffe is in dire need of this sort of item on her '13.
    Has anyone tried both the Weathertech and Auto-Ventshade?

    The Weathertechs are more than double the price; I like them, but I'm not sure if they're worth double...
