    Some polycarbonate or whatever headlight housings are made out of will fog over when exposed to certain chemicals. I found out the hard way just like you did, thankfully it wasn’t on my truck

    My buddy at work has a FJ, he’s been known to be a little bit of a drinker. Long story short this summer he was having a good time detailing his rig and got his go-jo mixed up with his waxing compound and go-joed the fuck outta one side.

    I spent a couple of weeks in SLC many years back. From what I remember at the bars you can only get beer that is 3.2%. You can get stronger bottled beer, but you need to order food at a restaurant or bar and grill.

    Also, their shots are the 1oz little thimble shots, with a magnetic spout covering all their bottles so they can't pour you a little extra.

    It's a racket to me. You're still going to get drunk, but you're going to spend more.

    Talking with some guys in the Utah thread they pointed out that it’s 3.2% ABW which is 4% ABV. Pretty soon they’re moving up to 4%ABW which is right around 5%abv

    Check our Dobinson springs. They make a 700lb+ coil in various lengths that in theory could fit a strut like ours with different ends as opposed your typical coilover spring with two flat top ends that would not fit our struts.

    They just changed the law a few months ago and let me tell you, the news looked like the primary elections. Almost nothing else was shown except for interviews from locals, politicians, and of course the church representatives and why it could possibly be a bad idea.

    Delta joints this time?

    Thanks man, I’m guessing they are the regular style coils for 2.5 strut bodies.

    That’s a great idea.. they hadn’t even crosses my mind, thanks for the tip

    Yeah, that's the plan. I haven't been able to find much in the way of long term reviews on them but I also haven't found hardly anything in the way of negative reviews either so I figured they are worth spending the extra $100 on to see if I can get away from the uni-ball headaches.

    I have had mine in for about a year so far without issue. I grease them every oil change FWIW

    Do you know which coil they are? To my knowledge OME only offers a 660# spring (PN2886) I’ve been talking to a buddy at wheelers and we have been doing some comparisons on gen 2 tundra springs but they appear to be a little overkill.

    Also, what would you all pay for some used Nitto ridge grapplers 285/70/17s with about ~50% tread left? I'm contemplating on going to 35s and selling these, OR run these to ground and then get 35s. Only been really wheeled like 3 times.

    this might be as tactical as you can make a Bowfang LOL
    Extra big battery, big floppy antenna, lapel mic connected to electronic muffs. I heard that when you connect the mic to the muffs that you lose their amplification capability but I was surprised to find it still works! and you hear the radio in just one ear which is fine.

    @JimSnell from this angle it looks like the spot we camped?. Just on the right side of the tip of the power pole.

    Plan was to get matching 285 MTRs to match the spare, but the thought of 35s is always running through my head o_O.
