    I replaced the broken KC lights with my old ones, and fixed the window regulator.

    That thing leaks like a sieve. I call it the Exxon Valdez.

    OME steering damper installed, feels much nicer, less flighty. Old one wasn't as dead as I thought tho. My drag link ends felt pretty loose and my crossover link wasn't much better. Should probably get the full front end kit.

    Seriously you feel a difference? You oversized tires yet? On the 3 I've built I never noticed a difference from the steering stabilizer......... Buuuuuuuttttt it just dawned on me I've never done JUST the stabilizer. It's always been done with a lift.
    Well that's good to know you feel an improvement :D

    Just keeps the tires from leading it around. Feels nice compared to a tired stocker which is about 1/2 the bore size. I need links and shit for it, the suspension is just tired in general. All of my shocks make squelching noises now. It's not going to be my offroad rig for a while so it'll get the OME springs and some of the Billies I ordered so that it stays fresh on the road.

    I think this was happening at a lot of Bay Area schools. Same threat at SJSU, and USF. Several people, don’t know if it’s linked.

    Arent they in uniball price territory now? I thought the reason why people went with SPC was cause its "cheaper"


    So glad I dont have to worry with this stuff the way I lifted my truck.

    The adjustability is nice, but you have to have the extra articulation of the upper BJ to be able to use the extra downtravel of extended coilovers, the UBJ is the first thing to bind.

    Uniballs are a bit more still (700+ range)...but ball joints have the advantage of being quieter, requiring less maintenance, and have more articulation than uniballs. Uniballs have the advantage of being stronger so people that like to go race truck usually go with those.
    Also uniballs have more bling factor for the gram

    Damn the largest art heist since WWII happened in Germany this morning (irony anyone?)

    Suspects stole over a billion dollars in mostly jewelry and some art after setting a fire in the building and performing the heist while everyone was distracted.

    I love a good art heist

    I don't know why but a successful art heist just sounds classy to me, I've seen too many British art heist movies I guess. Hey, it's a victimless crime...unless you're the person they stole it from

    Also it's not like the Germans didn't have it coming

    Lol my wife told me about it and the first thing I asked her was 'did they come in from the ceiling and dance around the security lasers'

    Alas, it was just a classic distraction scheme
