    You are the MASTER of spending my money. Looked at my new wheels and 35's and thought the rubber valve stem is a problem. You? You read my mind! Going to order these tonight!

    Could have made a traveling Darwin award for the WI group with that thing. Every year someone is nominated by the group for the most "not so smart" offroad move and they get the trophy for the year.

    So... @wi_taco is proving his dominance in the knowledge arena (again.) I did the CMC, but... it might not be enough. I am going to get serious about the clearance next week. It seems I still have some rubbing at higher stuff levels and its not good. It is out at the end, so an easy fix as far as it goes, but bother! Those lower fenders are going to need to get shaved a bit more too...

    Honestly, a lot of smart folks in this crew! Half the time when we're BS'ing at these get togethers, I feel like a kid that got seated at the grown-up table. :oops:

    Oh good, I'm not the only one.
    Growing up I didn't get to sit. I was too busy mixing drinks for the adults while they were playing cards.

    What can I say, great minds think alike!

    It's clearly the first name connection too.

    Received some Aussie ditch lights and goods from Stedi today. Among them were different light covers for the spot lights, with a solid logo instead of a stenciled outline - I dig 'em!

    Have to get everything wired up, but quality seems to be high.

    Whichever are the longer ones would be good, I think - I had their shorter valves and they were a pain to access for air.

    I have their emergency replacement valves in my tire repair kit, and they apparently work super well in a pinch.

    I have seen these lights somewhere. Is there a US distributor?
