The parts look solid and I can't see any issues popping up. Treat it like installing an aftermarket roof rack based on technique and sealant and you should be golden.

I once owned a vehicle with an odd history. At once point, an insurance company took possession of it which makes it look like it was going to be totalled. However, it went to auction with a clean title, then bought by the small dealer who I purchased it from. It had some mild hail dings on the...

Sounds like you're either low on coolant or have a bubble, especially if it fluctuates based on idle/having throttle input.

I remember the MT64's being announced, but I didn't know they were out yet. They sound like a solid option, but I haven't heard any tests or reviews yet.

Sounds like Hell's Revenge on Thursday will be an almost total 200 takeover, I think I got the last spot. Wipeout Hill on Friday. I'm thinking Porcupine Rim on Saturday but I could be convinced to do something else.

Last year I did Top of the World, Fins, and Poison Spider. I enjoyed all of them, but I'm not sure I want to repeat them. Any particular must-do's in that difficulty range? Porcupine and Hell's Revenge maybe? I'd say 4-6 on the scale is a no brainer, 7 seems fine with the caveat that I like my...

I did. No leaks so far.

Rolling fenders is really pretty easy, the real hurdle here is probably gonna be getting a fender rolling tool to actually reach from the hub to the fender. I have a couple ideas on how to make it work, but my LX is gone until about Tuesday. Bit of before and after of a roll and pull I did on...

I should be there, a little more capable than last year though.

Gamiviti is excellent stuff and good people. If for some reason you don't like the rack, there are tons of stock racks available for very little money.

If E&E doesn't offer it, most cities have half a dozen powdercoaters that would be happy to do fairly simple parts like that for a reasonable price. For reference, I had a set of sliders blasted (bad rattlecan job) and powdercoated for something like $150.

I had a chunky aluminum shift knob in a car that lived outside with no tint. In the summer I had to put a glove over it, or if I forgot then I'd have to wear the glove for about 10min. It was also a pretty close ratio 6 speed so it was a lot more touching than you'd need to do

I went a different direction because I wanted to keep cargo room in the back while being able to sleep on the driver's side

That's amazing how hard it launched that box. I've always been a stickler about securing stuff because I cannot handle rattles, but it makes me glad there's a tangible safety factor too. While I love drawers, you could make your own flat mounting platform that replaces the third row seats and...

I only have about 1500mi on a set of G015s but I've been pretty happy with them so far. Different vehicle and wheel/tire size though.
