    can be. alot of people get rid of the duals on those trucks to run huge tires like that. i like it better with singles.

    Raptor Certified SVT technician is here haha. You are correct they will bend and easy. But not for that reason. The reason they bend is because the rear bump stop bolts to the frame. To gain access to the bump stop to replace there is a 2 1/4" hole in the frame. So when they are mid air and land they bend.

    Does Wakefield use Reading municipal light? My parents and when I lived there we RARELY lost power, granted the wires are under ground but still. Rare

    The Mrs parents live in reading, in the past five years I don't think they've lost power for more than 5 minutes more than once.

    Not to knock unions, but blame the unions. There were tons of crews of lineman sitting around the yard at our project site waiting to be dispatched out. Unions fought over who "owned" what between the lineman who deal with distribution lines (power) and the guys who deal with cable/phone/internet/fiber underbuild since they share the same utility poles.

    I used to live in reading and we used to lose power quite often for hours at a time.

    It's really cold. I felt a pop when I stepped on my sliders. A weld might have broken :/

    I hope it was just my imagination. If not I'm driving back up to NH to have the dude weld them right. Not do some shitty welds like he did

    dude i still have to put the rest of the bolts in mine... i put all the bottom bolts on both sides, but it was getting late, so i only put one bolt in the sides to hold them. so i have to put like 7 bolts per side on them sometime.... for as much of a PITA as it was, im thinking of paying someone to do it. that SUCKED.

    If you can take em off I'd TIG them for you for a small fee. And I mean full penetration. But bolts are stronger than welds.

    Do parking tickets go to my insurance. Got one at Gillette in South Boston earlier for parking in an unauthorized area???

    Got a letter shoved under my door of my complex accusing me of driving across the lawn. And causing $1950 worth of damage. The land lord received two phone calls from diffrent tenants saying they say My black truck drive across the lawn (dirt) and cause sunken marks. Since when do I have a dually, I have photo documents of widths and tire treads up close that do not match mine. They also said over the phone I must have changed my tires and drove across twice... My question to you guys/Becky is... Did my 03 Tacoma Cause this damage?

    I'll consider that offer! I need to check my welds when it's light out.

    And last I heard, yes?
