    Mostly stuff I built.
    I own 2 sets of these they work just fine even with a 1 ton Dodge rolling over them. I’ve had one pair for a couple of years and the second set I just got this last Christmas from my wife. Does not look like they have changed the mold design at all and they are still glassfiber reinforced PP6 material so I’m good with them.

    Mostly stuff I built.

    FYI the spring rate of the 2886 OME coils doesn’t play well with the valving on 5100 Bilstein or OME 90021 shocks.
    The light valveing I hand the high spring rate tend to make the front end bounce more than it should. Have run into this on several Tacomas here local to me.

    Being made from Chevy parts I could only assume it would break after the first cup.

    Could always claim it as a religious artifact.

    @riz_atx @ChadsPride @FindFalke What are your thoughts about biking in the morning after the meet, with the forecasted rain? Looks like we'll be fine until about 12pm (.09" forecast for that hr). I'm still down but wouln't want to do damage to the greenbelt with wet ground and the rocks are like ice when they're wet. I've done it before but want to have your opinion on the matter.

    Happy to chill with the trucks while drinking coffee either way!

    A religious artifact might work :anonymous:

    Have to back out on the post meet ride.

    Going to be doing some married stuff afterwards with the wife.

    (There's an exhibition at the Umlauf she wants to go check out)

    That being said, I'm really looking forward to seeing ya in the morning!
