    Put them side by side and you can't tell the difference, but look from the back and the width difference is pretty perceptible.

    I parked next to another FJ on 285 Mickey Thompsons at the Fall Crawl and from the side my 275s looked the same as his 285s. We're talking a few tenths of an inch difference anyways. From the back it was pretty noticable though

    Went to pick up the annual pass for the cape cod seashore. Pretty sweet driving on the beach! Luckily it rained on the way home so I don't have to wash any sand off

    Here's what I've been up to today:

    I wanted to put the Pro Circuit pipe on the '99 also but when I swapped pipes, neither one will run right without some carb work. I may swap them yet since I like the SS pipe from my bike but was not motivated to rework 2 carburetors today and I don't have the jets needed to do so.

    For lawn mowers, I'd suggest a self propelled one that when you release the handle only the blades stop and not the engine. Also, if you're getting one to last a long time, get a mulch and bag unit. Sometimes you need to bag but most of the time a mulcher is sufficient.

    Everything looks fairly level like the W/D hitch is set up well. How'd it tow?

    Rob,

    This is my push mower. I have enough yard I also have a lawn tractor (came with the house) but sometimes I find myself using just my push since it does such a fine job.

    http://m.homedepot.com/p/Honda-21-i...d-Mower-with-Auto-Choke-HRR216K9VKA/203709643

    It's a bit pricey but everything I read said the Honda mowers are super reliable which was what I wanted. I wanted something I could get 20 years out of with regular maintenance.

    I have a Craftsman 21" mulcher. 12 yrs so far, my old one croaked right before I got married..maybe that was a sign..

    It ran me $80 a few yrs ago when the self propelled broke. Happens, but it broke again 5 minutes later. I marched into the service center with my long hair and a concert shirt telling the manager on duty this thing is gonna be fixed by the next day or it will be going through the front window..who me, violent?

    Rob this is what you want for a mower. Ive gone threw 6 of the cheaper ones and finally bit the bullet for the Honda. Couldnt be happier. If u want reliability and a mower thatstarts first to second pull everytime than buy the honda.

    Windshield replacement #2 leaks. Not as much as windshield replacement #1, but definite water intrusion.

    I'm heated...ruined my day.
