    Yes
    I would not attach the bananna to the resi, the resi gets super hot and it will spoil the banana. I would suggest keeping the bananna in one of your door panels or center console.

    For a full setup, front to back, the weight diff from AL to steel was about 60lbs. Most people probably have more than that in their cage and gussetts.

    Just because I have 60lbs of beverage in the ice chest doesn't mean I need 60 lbs of under carriage protection

    Um, when you’re done figuring out your gussets, can I have the banana?

    Asking for a friend.

    Anyone know what size and type of fitting is on the brake line screwed in the caliper? Is it 10mm inverted flare? I'm so close to deleting all the automotive shitty flare stuff in my brake system.... rest is all an3

    I've got 1st gen taco brakes on my truck so assuming they use the same inverted line size, this is what you need. If not Kartek has tons of other thread pitches. They work great for me, all my brake and fuel lines are converted to AN.

    I usually put mine in the freezer overnight and give it a couple of layers of protective chocolate coating. Helps performance on those 100+ degree dez days. Kind of like meth injection for fruit!
