    This was super cool. I ordered a headlight Vapor cleaner from Amazon for like $30. It heats up a little cup of solvent, the vapors of which melt the surface of the plastic, making them perfectly clear. This was literally like magic to me. I also aimed the big lights after finishing the...

    When I made it home from alignment the other day, my passenger side fog light was dangling out of the bumper. Crap. Not the end of the world though as one of the lights was actually dead, so I hadn't used fogs in a while. I ordered a set of Baja Designs Squadron R Sport, in the driving/...

    4LO+CDL Engagement on Dry Pavement?

    Absolutely. You can even do some turning in gravel as it'll give way to the tires. Just don't go too crazy.

    100 series best road tires

    I run a set of 33" Defenders on my 100 when not on trails. Keeps miles off my 35s. We met up with another mudder for a couples' weekend last year, wearing my Michelins. He posted a pic on Facebook of our trucks side by side trying to give me crap for wussy tires. The comment section did not...

    Michelin Defenders. There's no other discussion to be had.

    Tires are back on the ground, LC t-bars have been leveled side to side, and she got an alignment this afternoon. Driveline clunk is much better, though not perfect. At this point, all bushings are new (suspension and diff), both drive shafts are new, axles are new, axle flanges are new. I don't...

    Looking at next vehicle after my hundy.

    This may be one reason RX drivers are so ****ing awful to be behind.

    Looking at next vehicle after my hundy.

    If they can be turned off, great. If not, I won't buy. Like you, I'm out of my era with current trends.

    OME, Eibach or Bilstien?

    Very good in my case.

    Should I consider a 100 Series for a Kid Hauler?

    Sometimes they're defeatable. I just had a 2024 rental Sonata and we couldn't turn off smart cruise. I Googled, I even called a dealership to ask. Couldn't be done without turning off cruise altogether. I don't agree with them being more predictable. I had a long thing written up but this...

    OME, Eibach or Bilstien?

    Dobinson's. The OME is entry level and known for being a poor ride quality. Bilstein makes a few products for our trucks but for whatever reason, they're not that prevalent or widely used. I didn't even know Eibach made anything for the 100.

    It's in! I'm sure SuperPro is going to love reading this. OK so here's what went down today: I tried to get the crush sleeve placed in to the mount by itself. No go. It's only a tiny bit too wide, but too wide nonetheless. I put it up against the 90° flat surface on my bench sander and...

    Got it. That gave me the mental image I needed. Thanks!

    To clarify, the bushing should be at least as long as the crush sleeve, if not a little longer?

    That was my thought as well. Get the #2 side lined up and mark where the contact issue is on the #1 side. I'll work on this in the morning. I also sent a contact request to SuperPro and linked the thread.

    Is your suggestion to knock it down from the outside edges (basically removing the bevel), or the inner edge of the flange to make the two halves meet inside? Imagine the latter would be a lot more difficult to do cleanly.

    What do you think of the 85mm tab spacing vs the 90/91 of the bushing/crush sleeve? Besides measuring, I also tried to slide the crush sleeve in to the mount and it was a nogo.

    I have a bench sander I can use. But now I'm measuring the pieces individually, it looks to me like even the crush sleeve may be too long. Or I'm an idiot. Either are possible.
