    Not really.
    Better to take many small wins than try for 1 big one.
    That's only 1 of over 40 holdings. (securities and crypto).
    Diversity is your friend.

    Anyone in the Milwaukee/southeast Wisconsin area have the stock exhaust from 3rd gen DCLB selling for cheap or giving away? Can trade you the stainless steel Magnaflow (catback) exhaust I have or purchase it. I live in northwest suburbs of Chicago.

    With or without?
    Barely used the step. Any impact would've broke those brackets or shoved the whole bar up into the door.
    Another T.W. influence. Flaps gone. tail pipe gone. nerf bar gone.

    Well that was fun...glad I carry recovery/ safety gear.

    Flat tire on the highway. Dropped PSI to 0 in about 15 seconds. Good to go with my spare, but I've never had a flat at speed before.

    Well that's no fun but I'm glad to hear it wasn't some scary almost crashing blowout. Did you hit a random piece of road debris?

    No clue. I just got back and found the puncture. I was expecting a gash based on how quickly I lost pressure.

    I have been fighting pressure problems with my 35’s since that last run to Tigerton. I guess 8 psi is too low. Got lots of debris in the bead(s). So far have had to unbead and rebalance two wheels

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    Without...or sliders. The problem with the steps is that they are attached to the floor of the cab, not strong at all if you get off road.

    Yikes! Glad to hear it wasn't worse and that you were able to get it changed on the road.

    Thanks man. I was able to stop in time, right as the fishtailing started (left rear tire), before losing the bead and ruining the rim of the wheel.

    Sliders? Whoa, pump the brakes, there.
    I'm taking this one 'step' at a time.
    :rofl:

    they're possibly in the line-up.
    Right after front shocks, uca, aal, gmrs radio and a partridge in a pear tree.
    My T.W. review concludes it's sliders or nothing at all.
