    I would rent your first year out here. Get a feel for the area then decide to buy. It’s a pretty diverse area.

    I like #1, get rid of the S1s look weird with the LPs. Also maybe change the ditch lights to a clear filter.

    Agree, plus those holes the S1s are in are there to access the winch, doesn’t having them there create problems reaching the clutch and switch?

    Naw they are super small the one on the PS isn't really needed just there to balance out. I'm not sure but there may be a winch on the market with a PS clutch most are DS though. I just think with the LP9s they look a little superfluous and out of place. So much yellow lenses too.

    You must have tiny hands. I need all the space I can get, unless the streamline cut outs are significantly smaller.

    They are smaller in the streamline and it's more tightly packaged in the streamline. In the full bumpers a little ~1"x1" square at the bottom wouldn't bother me. The 2nd gen full the top of the access is almost directly in line with the clutch. The 3rd gens the clutch is a little higher than the cut out.

    We have made it to Charlotte. If anybody knows of any rentals near the Matthews, Waxhaw area we are in need of a place to live!

    I have clear lenses for all of them. Leaving the S1’s now that I’ve drilled holes to mount them. Have plenty of room to access the winch clutch lever.

    Those are badass but the problem is i have a bed tent so the diamond back wont work. Id rather not have a flipping cover.

    Anyone have a recommendation for an alignment shop besides Lacey’s? They are far too overpriced.

    I thought they were a little high too last time I went but after looking around I couldn't really find it much cheaper (unless I wanted to spend the 20-30 saved in gas money).

    I called a few places in hickory and they are all $70-$80 but they are booked for the next two weeks to month. Charlotte and Hickory are equal distance for me so I can go either way.

    I tried to get a set of tires swapped from one wheel set to another, guy wanted $150 for mounting/balancing. Told him to kick rocks. May end up swapping them myself and just throwing some balance beads in there, I dont know how well they work though....
