She's a keeper!

 

make sure you remind her that bigger tires don't fit on your rims, so you need new rims too. hahaha

 

serious question: is it possible buy just the u-bolts in the all-pro flip kit? just in case my super bumps don't make it by the pelfreybilt camp trip, I wanna cut the excess on my bolts so I don't bottom out on the bolts before the little "stock" bump. what do i need to cut the excess?

 

Nah no need patch just throw some gorilla glue over the top lol. I did that to a tire that stealership said they couldn't patch and buggah when last months hahaha #brokemokeproblems

 

just pull the nail out and double check its not leaking. when i used to work on tires i would see thorns actually puncture threw tires more then actual nails ...

 

I'm not sure about the replacement bolts.
I'd use a grinder with a cutoff wheel, since you'll have to cut 8 bolts. It would be a total PITA, but it can be done with a hacksaw but positioning the saw is hard under there.

 

Was driving next to the orange TRD Pro yeaterday (not aido's).. paper plates, but looked like someone keyed the tailgate.. SAD...

 

That's kinda effed up, some people just has no respect for other people's personal belongings. Either that or he/she pissed off someone. That's what I'm paranoid about haha(knock on wood). That's why avoid going out in crowded public places. Always take the gf's Tc haha.

 

2 options... either put your old UCAs on, or I think I have some spacers that sarah sent me that I was going to use prior to me figuring out my timbrens

Look at these, also just use a grinder and cutting wheel to take off the excess

 

I used my sawzall to cut mine. If you turn the blade so it's doing a flush cut then it's pretty easy to get the cut nice. You can use anything to cut it, just cut them with the nut threaded on so you can remove the nut after cutting to re-thread the cut portion.

 

I'm sure Rick @squint0241 and I are in the minority but I thought I'd share my experience with the CravenSpeed antenna. I usually can't catch sheeznit on FM until I hit Kalani High headed west (I had to say west so Rick can follow along). And I usually can catch AM no problem from the house till I cross over. But with this new "Stubby" antenna I could only catch 104.3 and I'm talking about driving through town on the H1! WTFranks? I knew there would be a trade off but I didn't think I'd be stuck with one FM station and no AM signals sitting in the middle of Honolulu. Anyway this one is headed back if nothing changes. Heysus Christ!!!

 

I have yet to find a good stubby it pisses me off

 

Well some guys have had some fair to midland experiences and I though I'd try my luck. Living out here in HK I can't catch diddly anyway so I thought what the heck might as well try. But c'mon from Waikiki to Honolulu and I can't even catch AM?!?

 

What did you expect from a stubby antenna. The smaller you go on antenna you loose DB signal strength. There is a reason why the antenna is a certain length. Just my 0.02 cents

 

if you want a good stubby, try one from a Honda Element. I did that for my Celica and I think the threads and everything fits.

 

Well like I said in HK a full mast antenna or nothing and it's still the same reception. I just didn't think sitting in the middle of town I would have the same result as NO antenna. I did have "lowered expectations". Figured AM would still catch at the very least.

 

Thanks. Or I may so the "cut down" like everyone is suggesting. I just like a clean factory look if at all possible.

 

I keep the stock one on my truck, helps me remember of where I can park

 

I usually take my other car to work but my office building is 6'2"....
