    Yeah that seems very doable! I was looking at all the food pictures when I googled the disc cooker and now I really want one.

    Me too, I think I'll make one. The burner is only $30 on Amazon, so all you need to do is make 3 removable legs, and a holder for the burner. One guy used 1/4" round bar stock, and made the holder out of that. I'd likely do the same.

    What’s the break rate in those zip ties bro?

    Also did you just guesstimate on the location for the new shock towers? Always curious if most treat that new tower and weigh in some smudge factor as if it’s not super crucial to have angles correct. If that question makes sense...

    From my limited reading on the install, it has to be 10 degrees tilted. Not sure how you determine the height of it, or if that's predetermined.

    I've been curious as well how crucial it is to get that angle

    I feel like that would be something not that easily achieved.

    One guy I asked about it said he just used an iPhone app to measure tilt, and got the ten degrees that way. It worked though! This is the reason I was hesitant to do the shock relocate. There are a few factors that can go wrong in the geometry and fuck something up.

    Man, I love them so much. They had no problem at all with traction out there. Even with all the work I did, I managed to rub a little bit. It wasn't enough to worry or bother though, so I'll just hammer the pinch weld a little more and pump up the caster next time I get an alignment.

    I was finally able to fully stuff the rear, and I juuuuuust clear my rear bumper and fender flares. It's got maybe 1/4" all around. Worked out perfectly! I have no desire to go 35s anymore

    I must've got lucky! Mine are silent as a mouse. Which is weird because my stock leafs on Stewie were noisy AF

    Maybe mine need more dirt to keep them quiet? I think part of it is the fluid film I spray on.
