    That is when I let Kevin from ATO drive it. Thats me looking at the front steering. Nothing was wrong. Just a shadow made something look funny.

    Daily driving the "Beast".

    There are a ton of people that say you can't drive a Rock Crawler on the streets. Well I'm here to tell you that you can. In fact, I daily drive mine 140 miles at least everyday.

    No. These were actually balanced by Discount tire in Huntington Beach. they did a great job with them. My 41" Iroks have the beads in them but Discount is going to try and balance them for me.

    Naw, don't think it was taken that way... I certainly didn't read it like that... Maybe he'll ditch the inchworm and go for twin stick FJ case ;)

    The problem isn't inchworm, its Marlins bearing. ;)


    Issue seams solved now though as they are no longer using the max cap bearing. I still think they just got a bad batch out of spec or something, since some, like Wyatt haven't had issues, but pretty much every case sold in the last year has.
