    I actually really like the t4r offroad wheels. Powdercoat them any color you want and boom, perfect wheel upgrade for cheap. They look really good with some spidertrax spacers as well, and they are wide enough to fit up to 35s I believe

    It didn't make any sense to me and your explanation is more of what I expected to happen. They're making him pay the fee.

    He said that next month he's paying half the loan off and the following month paying the other half off and since he already has the title he'll be done with it.

    Thank you

    Same crap everyone else got
    I'm pretty sure when he signed his loan paperwork he is locked in on his rste. The only way they could change it to a signature loan would be to pay off his auto loan and then open a new signature loan with a higher rate which would all involve him signing new docs. They can't just do it on their own.

    I knew that was wrong because changes to a loan or a new loan both would require a new signature. Thank you.

    Took your advice. Had an extension bracket jetted out today and had it powder coated wrinkle black. The wider spread now project a wider uniform beam. Thanks for the advice.

    Threw on the eBay shift knob tonight. And of course it didn't fit! :rofl:

    Oh well, I mod'd the mod. The knob really had nothing to screw into. So pulled every piece apart and sanded down the smallest adapter that it came with and wedged it into the top part of the knob. I used some E300 adhesive as well. Fit on there tight and secure.

    Looks pretty good in my opinion. If it falls apart, I'll just throw the OEM knob back on. Only $16s. No harm no foul.

    *The handle part did have a tiny bit of play. Nothing E600 can't handle :D

    How was the experience with the Fab Fours rear bumper/tire carrier? I tried the tire carrier three times over a month and a half period last year. Nothing but fitment and quality control issues. Finally gave up and sent both tire carriers back and got a refund.

    Hope your experience was better than mine!

    Finally got some cable management taken care of. Freed up a 12v socket and USB port by routing my dash cam plug and charging cord behind the dash. Scraped my arm to hell taking the lazy route and not removing any plastic molding. :crazy:
