    There are benefits to be sure but I'm totally not convinced all of those benefits is worth the extra money to fill and maintain the pressure in your tires. Maybe if you buy your own-but even then, the ROI just 'aint there (as long as you maintain tire pressure).

    Took apart my version of the power sliding rear glass to install a better braket for the glass window. Been a month now since installing this. Still function as is :D

    Simple lay out of the motor and cable housing.

    OZ-T's a smart man, he knows what I know about Nitro as far as the applications and what it is used for. As far as I am concerned, we use our tires and they have to deal with friction on a consistent basis as much as every other persons tires does. I have seen the longevity with my tires filled with nitro v. when they were not. They actually did last longer, quite a bit longer at that. They help for heating and cooling cycles as well as far as maintaining consistent pressures which in turn will save your tires over time in the long haul.

    Bottom line, if you don't want it, do not use it, if you do, do it.

    Me personally I service everything myself on my own vehicle typically so I know what goes in and out of it. I know what a vehicle with and without nitro (where I get it from) feels like and it definitely feels, performs, lasts differently from shop air so I know it's not BS.

    For myself, the Nitro is free and available, so why not do it?? I have nothing to lose and all to gain by doing it, so I do it when I can, and the benefits I have reaped are there, that's for damn sure.

    No write up, since this was a trial and error project. Didn't take any notes and what not on the steps. I'll shoot you a PM and I'll try give as much info as I can. Disabled the lock by just removing it. There's enough tension to it that it can't be open. Only way to open it is by the control.

    Clearing for 35s....as far as I am going to make it today....was going to do it all this morning, but it started to rain on me. So instead I do some firewall clearancing as well as the pinch weld since I already had the wheels off. Then took care of the flares....tomorrow it is supposed to be beautiful so we will get the fenders and the bumpers done then....

    LED conversion on every accessible bulb, TRD exhaust (dealership threw in for free along with the Blu-Logic).
    I fill my tires with N2O, that way I can get high off my tires when I am letting the pressure down to get out of soft sand.
