oh...

Do you have much experience driving a go cart with 6" stilettos? I'm sure they'd look sexy with the race suits they make you wear!

 

Can't say I've ever tried it but those do help with the height thing for some. My friend is 4 foot 9 and thankful for her shoe collection.

 

Well although I don't own it, nor can you drive a car on it. I do consider buzzards bay my closest race course. But it looks like my boat won't make it in till next spring. No sense paying to launch and haul during hurricane season.

 

Just pictured one of your cannonballz with a pair of bedazzled/glittery salmon colored heels. I'm not sure weather to thank you or call Men In Black for a memory purge.

 

which is why i have soooo many

 

You have a lot of 6" things?

 

I just take the short jokes that people use on me and recycle them, personally.

Worked for Short Round.

 

I have 3 sets for my Tacoma

I have a set of wheels and tires for a Tundra that I never owned

 

I have a terrible looking set of TRD OR wheels with snow tires on them for the winter. Stock wheels have Hanook Dynapro ATMs for the summer. Truck feels unstoppable in 4 HI with snow tires. The Dynapros aren't bad in the snow, probably better than the average A/T tire (they even have the mountain/snowflake symbol), but compared with dedicated snow tires there is still a substantial difference.

As much as I like having dedicated snows, I'm not sure if I would do it if I bought a new truck. My Tacoma is easy to work with the TPMS (or in my case, defeat it). Newer trucks probably aren't and I do not want to look at a yellow light for five months of the year. Probably would just go for something a little more aggressive than the Dynapros for year-round use.

 

i didn't bother switching over this winter, light stayed on, didn't bother me. becomes white noise. I didn't swap them out until december, so they were only on there a couple months

 

I hate the TPMS light, it's obnoxious and, in my opinion, the very definition of an idiot light. The Ferd ones are tough to defeat, I haven't found a good way around them but, they can be programmed easily by the end user.

 

I disabled my light. Found that I could ignore it during the day, but at night it was bright and drove me nuts.

Incidentally, I started looking at F-150s a little bit. I'm at the point now where I'm not sure if it is more sensible to sell my truck while it is still worth over $20k or hold onto it for five more years and replace it at that point (which was my original plan). The SuperCab Lariat is awesome. Not sure if I'd go for the 3.5 EB or 5.0. Big money either way...

 

I have to reroute my ant cable. I came into the jeep at the rear gate and followed the pass side up to about the glovebox, short of the destination. I just read that most guys with four doors are running it along the roll bars to the rear view mirror mount. I will try again once make sure there are no elev issues ( no phone service in garage).

 

I have been told by an expert that you don't necessarily want to ground the antenna. The guy at the place in Bridgewater explained that to me. Try getting an SWR reading 1st and see where you are. Try adjusting your antenna (if adjustment is available) then lastly ground your antenna if you can't get your reading down low enough.

Billy, how long is your antenna cable?

 

Before I grounded I couldn't get anything lower than a 3.0, after I grounded I'm still at 1.5-2.0 but its at least better. I feel like people can't hear me when I'm trying to talk to random people on channel 19, however for short range line of sight comms they work for now.

 

Well it sounds like you tested it the right way, non-grounded then grounded.

I'm telling you they don't really talk on the CB's around here most of the time. Next time your near a big rig get on and ask for a radio check. We can also check when we see you on Sunday

Good luck.
