    Flushed out the power steering fluid with Valvoline fully synthetic ATF Dexron II-VI. Pretty nasty. Should have done it long ago instead of waiting 146K miles. This is in a white Styrofoam cup.

    I had hair that long when I was about 25ish. Now a bottle of shampoo lasts me about a year.

    Hey I won't flame you I was thinking the exact thing already. Never heard of RC failing anyone and unless you're crawling or Baja racing a Drop bracket lift is sufficient!
    Now I just have to choose between 3" or 6" cuz they don't make a 4" for 2010????

    Hello! Today I installed a TRD Skid plate that I purchased from another TW member (I have to say he gave me a great deal, go TW friends). I know many of you think that these are only cosmetic but after installation I can see how it will protect the lower plastic shroud and combined with the stock plate will give some good protection to other critical items. Here is a before and after ...SC JPEG.jpg

    Received and installed my Ultragauge MX! This thing is worth its weight in gold for the trans temp monitoring out of the box ALONE. buy directly from Ultragauge and it’s only like $85 for the MX gauge. Then just add a few bucks for mounts and shipping. $105 OTD & this thing can monitor literally anything you can imagine.

    I don’t wanna cook my trans wheeling or road driving my pig on 35’s with stock gears for now. User interface is a breeze to figure out and you can put up to 8 vitals per screen. I chose this location for MY uses and although it’s slightly awkward I’m very happy with it. Still need to clean up the wiring.

    Cool, I didn't know if that size tire would fit well on them. It should damn well give you a strong bead when you air down to say the least. Now just wait to see the pics. I hope you did ok down there with this storm. We got nothing

    I have wheel spacers so I’ll definitely clear uca. Minimum wheel width for the 315 is 8” and these are 7.5” so a little under, but you’re right. It’ll definitely be a strong grab.

    As far as the storm, got some rain and wind but nothing crazy. Just had a shutter come loose but that’s an easy fix.
