    Anyone got any good driveshaft shop recommendations in the east bay?
    Need to get mine shortened and lengthened and maybe re-tubed thicker depending on cost.

    Not east bay but if youre willing to make the drive, Steve at South Bay Drive Line in San Jose has been good. You might hear mixed reviews from others but I've had a good experience with them and have heard them recommended by a few others as well.

    These guys are like dogs. Similar mannerism and temper. Maine coons are legit.

    most people who don’t like cats don’t understand them. They’re not dogs and cannot be trained as such. They do not respond to the same type of antics and discipline.

    Winter mods are starting to come in and stack up :thumbsup:



    Deal of the day =
    I've been looking for a set of grey BMW seats, ever since I installed the BMW seats in my son's T4R... but FREE was too good of a price to pass up on a black set.

    :taco::taco::taco:

    Looks like the entire interior is headed for a face lift this winter.

    New rack is on. Rattle can bed lined the fender flares. Currently struggling to figure out what order the red/blue clips go back in so I can get them re installed haha. Overall easy install. Seems super sturdy and built solid. Came with the 4 pods (pics showed them mounted on the front like most would mount a bar) but I've already got a bar on my bumper, pods for fogs, and ditch lights. So I mounted them to the sides. Going to re do all the aux wiring on the truck. Planning on starting this weekend on a custom harness with quick connects for all the aux stuff
