What is this "ban" you are speaking of?

 

Open spout gas containers and spouts without anti venting and safety features can no longer be sold in the US

 

So ordering direct from Wavian is just slightly cheaper vs. Amazon Prime. More color options also if you're into that. Free shipping as well. If you aren't in a rush, I say Wavian. They shipped via USPS so it took a few days.

Already have new LBJs since April or so of last year.

I ordered some King 2.5 Ext fronts

 

dibs on the foxes
or whatever* they were

 

Oh, I thought CARB was the California Air Resources Board which should have fuck all to do with the rest of the country

 

Yeah was just telling Ryan I'm going to compare them with the Fox 2.5 I have.

I went regular travel which was my own fault for buying them so soon after getting my truck; purchased new.

I can get the smaller bushing/spacer installed by ADS for $100 per shock but recommends a rebuild since "they're already there" at quite a bit more.

After some back and forth, I figured I'd buy the Kings and try them out. Sell the Fox at an affordable price which will be the difference of what I bought the King shocks for.

I would lower the ride height on the King down to 2" of lift like my Fox now and toss in my Icon UCAs that are collecting dust.

 

Still dibs when the time comes

 

In every picture I see with those new, lame spouts sitting in the can's spout holder spot, they stick back past the rear of the can meaning they won't fit (like that) in my 3-jerry can box on one of my rear bumper swingouts

 

When they were freshly removed from packaging

 

I'm not overland enough



You'll see I use a Surecan fuel jug; stupid easy to pour fuel with.

 

When I put my Kings on




I might go ome too, can’t decide.


spacer works fine but if the deal comes around haha

 

Oof

That'd never happen at my mall.

 

That was right at 200k probably, I’m sure the strut bushings I have now still look hawt

 

In 2009 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) instated new regulations for portable fuel containers (AKA gas cans) and outlawing all those that have a vent hole in them. ... This means while your gas can is not in use and sitting idle it cannot release that much vapor into the air per day.

Just like most things the freaking federal government does(better stated, tries to do), it's dumb, clueless, jackasses, thinking they improve something when 90% of the time we're worse off from it..... I'll control myself and stop now

Anyone know of a true barter and trade community that's looking for skilled residents?
