    Exactly. We stayed at a condo in the Kaanapali Plantion. Right on the golf course. We'd have drinks on the lanai and clap when people teed off. It was funny :)

    I hate the humidity. What part?

    I've got a leer and no matter what I do it still leaks, I got it off cl and it wasn't in the greatest condition to begin with though.

    You'll either have to remove it or trim the top.

    they can order all most any brand but they carry toyo, witch I'm not a fan of.(had a few pairs and they are prone to cupping even there street tires on my civic Ive had problems.I finally quite buying from them.) you should look at a few other brands before you go and call ahead to have them order them.

    Is this the trip you were talkin' about planning a few weeks ago?
    Doesn't really matter, but I showed interest and I can't make the 27th, so I figured I'd let you know.

    Yea that's first on the list actually. Drove the last 1200 miles with the steering wheel at 2 o clock and the driver wheel rubbing the shit out of everything when turning. Shitty thing is before the trip, I got it aligned and had Jerry tack weld the alignment tabs so that it would stay in alignment longer. The Golden Crack had something to say about that lol. Now I gotta grind them off to get it aligned again.

    PM'd you back

    thanks! how the hell did you get banned this time lol

    actually changed it right before I left, so I have 2300 miles to go :D

    Yes. Shit ton to do to the truck to get it ready by then.

    of course :) let me know if you want to leave your truck at my place again
