    So after the larger tire install, what’s the best way to correct your speedometer?

    No idea on that most I know go with a scan gauge/ ultra gauge for readings which may help.

    If it's been 3 days or longer without rain, you'll get dusted.

    On the red trails, EXPECT pinstripes.

    Fall Crawl @ Harlan ends today. about 1000 4wds, SxS's, ATV's and bikes. They'll widen out the trails somewhat.

    Try WD-40 or another bolt loosener spray. If it's just spinning and the bottom is disconnected stick a screw driver through bottom shock mount to stop it from moving and then try again. Otherwise it's always heat as last resort.

    Cut off the top nubb. It must have been mushroomed. It’s off and we are moving forward again. Time for a lunch break!

    I cut the dust boot and held the shaft with a monkey wrench til I got the nut moving. Good job man!

    Mine isn’t mounted. I have a padded storage case for it and store it away when not in “Trail use”. I plan to pull it out along with the mag based antenna as necessary, and put it all away when done.

    Anyone know if there’s a market for the OEM Bilstein off-road suspension in TW? I have the tow package as well, so I’m guessing I have a heavier leaf spring pack that goes with it.

    I was a little overdue for a spark plug change... and oddly enough the OEM had different plugs on both the left versus right Bank.

    Denso were on the passenger side, and NGK’s on the driver. That’s super weird.

    That might have taken a little planning...
