    Well... talked to the guy and meeting with him Sunday morning. Good job Tyler! Spending some money on the wrong thing but damn will I look GOOD! 35x12.5 r17's are bigger than I wanted but they should offer more compensation, correct? Certainly, more flotation. Maybe ball joints aren't so far in the future for me... Get the At or the RT? At or RT? decisions decisions...

    Right, apart from the aqueduct, sanitation, roads, education, medicine and wine, what have they ever done for us!

    I got a small pencil torch/soldering tip that I use.
    Tip on solder, tip off torch works pretty good.
    I got it at Chester's in Kenosha.

    Guys we're doing it al wrong.....




    Those side-by -sides look a little small to me.


    (Oooo, good start!). My retort: The romans were the inventors of mutual admiration societies. All they did was pat themselves on the back for figuring out water and poop flows through ditches. Somebody else would have figured it out. Roads just transported empire, education brainwashed empire into the minds of populace, and wine…pfff…people have been drinking rotten stuff since forever ago. I will give them credit for corks…that was pretty clever!

    2010 was the first year of the 5th gen lol.

    With the amount he was driving I'm not sure he could have done 5K intervals. But also he spent a lot of that time on the highway. But who knows. Each one's a little bit different.

    It's..... Uh...... The part where I chime in and tell everyone how I hate Kenda's.... :D

    Correct. But, the 4th gen also came with the 1GR standard. ;)

    So, what you're saying is that a person who puts on a lot of highway miles can get by with 10k changes, as the manual recommends?:boink:

    I wonder if anyone else around here has been saying that?

    Currently, it does not work with the 2Lo mod but i will be working on a cheap add on to get 2Lo with this device. I just don’t have that mod so I can’t confirm if they work together. I did reach out the the guy that makes them seeing if he wanted to work on it and make them work together.

    Still recommend five over 10

    I know right? I feel like we need a little controversy... Feels so empty without me

    Some of us don't even drink beer, although I guess I could measure it in gallons of mountain dew or Arizona tea.... :D
