    If you don't draw blood, you're doing it wrong!
    I go to the one in Lacey (WA). They are usually cool, even if its caked it mud, but the last time I called to make an appt., it was the manager that answered, and he said they "Do not cover off-road or racing trucks" but he did it anyway. I asked the guys if it was the mgr I spoke to, and that explained the douchbaggery.

    If the n182s can go 10" but the Dakars can do more make sure you put straps in so the stocks are not the limiting factor. Also are you sure the N182s can go 10"? Seems a bit long for those type of shocks


    Was it the big guy doing the alignment? Do you want to just borrow mine to get yours done?

    Not sure if I can. Purchased it over a year ago. So far they are 2 out of 4 for alignment.

    What time will you be home? I go back to work tomorrow so I don't get off until 630pm. If I remember correctly the way bar link only connects to the spindles and forget what else needs to get bolted on..

    Surprisingly they do.

    Open Length = 608mm (23.937")

    Lol I bet! Youtube and yahoo users are like a pack of hyenas hahah

    Looking at it again..he doesn't come anywhere close for his natural instinct to kick in to put his arm out.

    Ben, I'd love to find what TW members have to say after seeing that :D

    To be entirely honest, I would be lying if I said I hadn't put my arm out the window to slap things on the trail. I guess with the wrong timing and the right bump that could easily happen. Granted, he was doing more than a quick slap. Still, I think I'll curb that urge haha.

    I've done it too, actually that same thing, but I remembered to pull my arm in once the gas was applied. I do it while walking too, slapping poles, signs, asses. just one of those things, like spitting off a high place.

    Super BS. Firestone's been serving me for about a year now and I've had the bar out before I even moved up here.

    Ha, just saw the fracture video. I almost pulled a move like that - RelentlessTaco was driving me in a side by side and we pulled a super off-camber move. Instinct made me shoot my arm out to 'catch our fall', and I was lucky to have the little voice in my head say, "pull your hand in, dumbass!"
