    What do you guys recommend in terms of car batteries? I have an optima yellow top, but it is on its way out after only 2 years (Im not the original purchaser so I cant claim in on the warranty I don't think). I figure this is the perfect time to relocate to the bed any way and finally knock that out. Thanks!

    Took my truck to Firestone for the lifetime alignment and an oil change. It is now finally driving like it should!!! They are right down the street from me so it makes it convenient for me.

    I do abuse my truck a little bit.. I'm sure my motor experiences greater downward G-force due to my slow(er) suspension. I hate the abrupt suspension bottoming out jolt so I've learned to damn near ride the edge of breaking / bending components and it was enough to cause my drivers side mount to cave in. (you know the frame is broke when the fan is constantly in contact with the radiator shroud) after a good whoop or jump)

    Any recommendations on seeing the desert by utv rental? My wife and I are staying in Scottsdale for a long weekend in late April. Looking for a 800cc or higher two seater. We have a + or - $500 budget. I would like to show up to the rental place and set out from there. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

    Well, I I broke a bumper on my z. I need to get my replacement bumper painted. Debating between getting then plastidip commercial equipment and plastic dip the whole car or find a shop to remove my pain and go for a matte paint. Looking for opinions on plastidip VS full paint. If full paint, I can recommendation on shop. Looking to go all matte white.

    I have not used these guys, but drive by their place frequently. They are located in Florence, AZ. You can ride to trails right from their facility.
    Probably a good idea to call ahead; the RAZR's are popular during nice weather, and often sell out on weekends.

    I need to get the barrel of my 24" savage bolt action looked at. My groupings are approximately 40 feet wide. I think something is not right. :rofl:
