    I bought my air compressor from them.

    The gauge was defective on it and they sent me a new one the next day on behalf of the manufacturer.

    Great customer service.

    Smokin with a smarty.
    Late last night I installed my wheelers 3 leaf HD AAL and 5125s. I didn't measure beforehand but I got a couple inches of lift probably. It rides a lot better. Firm but not harsh. It doesn't have that spongy feeling going over washboard gravel and stuff.

    hmm, ok idk really, I get a pending trouble code usually within 30seconds-1minute after start-up, I suspend it, and it doesn't happen again regardless of how long/short I drive. Comes back every time I restart.

    Yeah, it was bad, especially the trans case. Just did a drain and fill. Will do it again sooner to help clean it out.

    I don't idk when it was done by the previous owner, but I have put over 80k on it since I bought it.

    Are you sure its a glass break sensor? Or is it just a shock sensor?

    Either way I didn't wanna add one b/c that's what causes false alarms every time some ricer or Harley drives by. If someone is gonna break in and take it they are gonna open the door eventually.

    Unless its a smash and grab which in that case you shouldn't leave anything out in sight that's valuable anyway.

    If you really NEED tires, then I'd say go for it. Otherwise I'd hold off and get something better.

    Sorry - my bad - this is all I have for now. Black Xcab, relatively standard, except I can tell mine is special. What is it the Marines say..."There are many like it but this one is mine!"
