    Installed the ARB 2000 Awning onto my Prinsu Cabrack. I'm 6ft tall and the awning sits at about 6'1" so I might add the L brackets to lift it up another 3" but I really like the streamlined look mounted flush to the rack it has now. Will test it out this weekend and decide.

    You should switch to balance beads. My tires tool 12-15 oz on one. After having weights come off while off roading and having to drive home with my steering shaking VIOLENTLY 2.5 hours home... I switched to centripital balance beads. Not an issue since!

    I like to wait until just before sunset to wash vehicles. Helps out a little with the rush!

    Ive always had good luck with Goodyear air hoses. Its all I use in my shop at home, and its what my step dad used on his service trucks.

    Oh and let the plug haters hate. We put 50,000 miles on a plug in my wifes last car. Shes had one in her new truck tire for 10,000 miles and Ive had one in the taco tire for 20k. I bought the $^#& thing with a screw in the tire. LoL

    When I raced dirt bikes and quads i carried a plug kit and a mini hand pump under my seats. I had a front tire on a 400EX with over 40 plugs in it. Its crazy how much stuff you pick up racing through the woods.

    PLUGS FOR LIFE!! haha :)

    I use a Goodyear air hose on my truck. I've had it for about 6 years, never had an issue.

    I also use tire plugs - I've run several hundred thousand miles on plugged tires. Never had an issue.

    Of course, one day we plugged a hole in the sidewall of my friend's tire on his Bronco. We used 4 plugs to fill the hole. We got about 10 miles before the plug popped out. LOL Good times...

    Yea, my air hose at home for the big compressor is Goodyear. No issues there, I wonder if they make smaller hoses for inside the truck? I'll have to check it out.

    I agree on the plugs, been in the tire business all my life and have never seen the plug be a failure. Usually the tire was fubar before a plug went in it lol. But, haters gonna hate.

    Is it a small, coiled up hose made by Goodyear? I'm trying to stay as compact and light as possible. The one that failed was Amflo which I normally have good luck with. But the Viair one looks pretty legit.

    I take eBay reviews with a grain of salt. I personally left a negative review on a product once and the seller was able to have it deleted within a couple hours.

    I've had my foam cannon from Amazon for 2 years now, never have had an issue. Although, I do use chemical guys soap, and other car care products. 50 bucks for a "branded" cannon is just stupid imo
