    I want to sooo bad. I'll get it done sometime this year though. :thumbsup: yeah I got tired of the 20"s after all these years. It's time to build a mean 19" wheel set-up for me. :D

    Bought this dash cam.

    I was using my GoPro cameras but now that they are almost always attached to my helmet or DH bike all the time it got to be a pain swapping them back and forth. I really like this model and although pricey it has a lot of cool options included (including the 3.5" touchscreen). As soon as you start the truck it starts recording and when you turn it off it stops. If you are involved in a accident it will store automatically the 10 secs leading up to the accident and 1 min after the accident so it doesn't accidentally get deleted.

    I had to move my UG to the side from where it was to make room for the camera but it works fine in this spot.




    I mounted it here as I didn't want the tape to be seen through the outside of the windshield (yep.... I'm that OCD). The pictures look worse than it really is and it doesn't block the view anymore than the mirror so that was a non issue.

    The white band you see on the side of the camera is actually a flashing white light while the camera is recording

    Never did this because I didn't want to lose the side airbags. Ricaro is the only one I found that has an aftermarket side air bag, but it's big bucks.

    Correct me if I'm wrong (which I am quite often) but don't the side airbags come out of the roof liner as side curtain airbags? There are so many makes and models now it's hard to keep up.

    Those are the curtain bags, the side airbags are in the side of the seat. The stitching rips when they deploy.

    Love the 19's but hated buying new tires, my 20s were cheaper than the 19s, sometimes bigger is better :burnrubber:

    Not really today, but last Friday, got the tranny fluid flushed on the automatic, and had the frame recall protectant sprayed on. Made an appointment for next Friday, to have the power steering fluid flushed and have the coolant checked. Unfortunately, I'm at 104k km's, and all this stuff needs doing. I'm going to flush the brakes myself, but I'm getting it ready for the "W" word. You know, the one with all the "S" word everywhere.:annoyed::crapstorm:
