Good for a rust-belt truck, bad for anywhere else. If you're OK with AHC delete when the lines rust through, I wouldn't worry about it at all. If you're adamant on keeping AHC and plan to own this truck for the long haul, I'd look further south.
Been working with a local radiator shop to bring an OEM style condenser back to market.
First one for the later model 60/62 is here and fit is perfect. Earlier model should be showing up in the next couple weeks.
Well, I had the unfortunate opportunity to learn the ins and outs of the sunroof system.
The sunroof decided it didn’t want to close yesterday night around 9, and I ended up to the point of having to drop the headliner and take out the entire...
Well some bozo decided to cover my car in rocks driving recklessly a week and a half ago. Thankfully, I had a dashcam and my insurance was great about handling it from there with his. Just got it back from the shop and maaaan it looks good. They...
I vote against black. Leave them alone or paint them some other color. Painting the rock ring gunmetal might look cool. I really like the look of the RW's without the rock ring, but the surface underneath is probably hammered.
This video is pointless. They tested the MRR's at all they way stiff and they sucked, so they set them to all the way soft and they sucked. The point of an adjustable shock like the MRR is that your find the sweet spot for your rig and ride...

All the baselining for now, back to stock wheels
Just added into the rotation with the others and driven
Took the camper out for a little trip to Lava Hot Springs in South East, ID this past weekend. Ditched the stock 21" wheels and put on some Tundra 18's with 275/70R18 Nokian Outpost nAT tires. So far zero complaints and they compare favorably to...
Haha, reminds me of my buddy's mom who used to crochet, cut up apples with a sharp knife, and lord knows what else, while driving us to school in her manual 280zx 2+2
Sorry to hear and wish you guys the best.
Just thinking out loud, as I have a new driver in the household and not that that's exactly the same... I'm putting her in a much different car than my 200 series. Something that is inherently easier to...
Sliders and tires make the world go round. Honestly you could stick with 18s and be fine over 17s, I’d trust OEM wheels over the Icons given the cracks people report.
Also curious where you read this concensus that IMS is better than Bilstein? Not disagreeing/agreeing, just genuinely curious. These are the 2 options I'm looking at for my minivan.
Listen to these practical guys. Larger diameter tire is probably the most effective "suspension lift" there is. That said...
If lift makes you happy, go for it. I've never loved the ground clearance of the 200 compared to the older cruisers...
As with many things, there is tradeoffs.. This video does a great job highlighting some concerns and in particular, he explored the strength of engagement dog teeth and holding power at full lockup.
Another aspect not discussed is the...
