Here's a link for the Tri-Flow. Easy to use drop bottle that you can carry with you.

Tri-Flow Superior Lubricant

 

I use Tri-Flow on my mountain bike its the TITS.

 

FK makes the best balls IMO. Also insure they are stainless witch I'm 99.9% AP uses. Chrome balls suck and will rust out in one winter of salt belt abuse.

Icons covers trap dirt and make the uniball harder to clean. OK idea sold mostly to people who don't need it anyway IMHO. Balls are not sealed thus if you submerge them the crap will go through the balls and some of the crap will remain in the top of the ball. Since they are covered you have no way to see, clean, or lube them without removal of the caps. Ive also read that the bolts for the uniball hit the caps and the design requires you to sand down some parts of it for it to not bottom out. Sounds to me like a bad design flaw, but not sure because I haven't seen it in person.

 

Alright, after doing my research I am in. they all appear to be about the same thing and I save $200+ over an ICON set. How often do I need to squirt the Heim with lube?

 

It's a product of the environment. Some might need to do it more depending on where they live. I'd make an effort to do it at least a couple times a year. Not like a couple seconds of time is going to hurt anything. I would also use some after any wheeling trips to help clean them out. Winter conditions with snow and salt I'd apply more. Tri-Flow is a great lubricant, and tends to hold for a bit. You'll hear them squeak when they're bone try.

I'll add you to the list.

 

When they squeak. Keep the bottle in your truck.

All depends on amount of driving you do and the conditions you do it in.

I lubed mine once in the past 6 months but I also only drove it 200-500 miles or so in that timeline.

 

In, if we can get free shipping...are we paying tax on top of the quoted price? ($551.65 2nd gen)

 

I won't think so. It's just the same as if you ordered from their site. The only difference is really the discount and free shipping. Now, there might be some weird tax thing for people that are Montana residents, but I'd have to check on that.

 

How many of us are in at the free shipping point? We might be getting close now.

EDIT not that it matters as I'm sure we will get that many by the end of the month.

In at free shipping
1. SnowroxKT
2. GEARAHOLIC

 

Free shipping is at 25. I don't really see there being a problem getting there. At this rate it'll be next next. If GEARAHOLIC jumps in we'll be at 14. I'll get some more people from T4R as well. The 4runner guys are just a bit slower.

 

Free shipping to Hawaii too?

 

Lets be honest 90% of the time i own a mall crawler...

 

Let me check for you.

 

They fit perfect. The design is there to "help" keep crap from building up in there (which can hurt the longevity of your uni-balls). Camburg started this and Icon followed because it works. Soon AP will too...

 

They can offer you a 10% discount on the shipping. While it's not free, 10% is better than nothing at all.

 

How much will the total be?

 

That I don't have access to. Based on what UPS says it's a $150 shipping bill. I'd contact them and see what the shipping charges would be. They posted on the first page.

 

yup whats the shipping to hawaii? I will prolly get a few sets if shipping isnt bad. gonna spread the word to my homies who dont do the whole TW thing lol

 

Shipping to HI would be $50 for you. I was expecting it to be more than that honestly. Pretty good rate.

Same pricing for you on 1 set, $50. They can also do $100 on 3 sets if some of your friends want in.

 

We're also up to 16 people at this point.
