    They are absolutely a wear item. I recommend upgrading to the WSSX series as they are full stainless construction and do seem to get more life. Depending on upkeep (washing the dirt off of them and applying tri flow) you should be able to get 2 years out of them. There really isn’t a stronger option available.

    Most do not utilize the WSSX as they are more expensive. It is likely they are just the basic COM series. Summit racing is typically the best pricing in my experience.

    Slept in from drinking bleach, just kidding I’m just not a morning person today. Getting started now. Plan was to finally maybe test the waters on the pinch weld and cab chop. Still have other peoples junk in the garage I have to move first which is the part I’m dreading.

    I’ve got nothing other than to say listen to the other experts. The way you drive you need strength and those uniball are the strongest but they will just wear out faster. You wanted the experience of 35’s baby well that’s the price of admission lol.

    In keeping with last night’s theme here is James giving the bumper a nice fingering. Mentioned something about guitar players and finger work.
