Either wits end or cruiser outfitters

I dont wheel as hard as you do but my OEM bushings were still ok when I swapped the arms with Delta's.

My toyos were shi* after 7 punctures and a torn sidewall I went back to Nittos. 3 sets of nittos and over 100,000 miles on nittos and I haven't had a single flat tire. They do weigh quite a bit more than toyos and others but that's why they hold up.

Wow, way different experience from me. Mine were also very heavy and wore very well, harder tread compound. Did not grab near as well as my current set, pro-comps. Did have a puncture on the PCs once, that was on me going where I should not have been. Took a broken tree branch about mid-way up the sidewall. I do know a lot of guys in the Copper State Cruiser club love the nittos as well.

Recently swapped out my DIY tailgate storage for one of the new Delta storage lids. It's a really nicely made piece. I like having the full width opening now rather than two smaller compartments.

How heavy is it?

Got a sun tan and a work out last weekend.

Airing down lower is the key. Your tires still look to have higher pressure.

Oceano dunes just south of Pismo beach?

 

[steezy]

Nothing. Mental health day! More fun than working on trucks or sitting in a traffic jam wheeling.View attachment 3370207View attachment 3370208

Sabine skiff?

Just use a knee. Press your knee against the sidewall and lean into the tire. You should be able to make it flex around the knee with little effort.

Very nice, a really beautiful area. I am glad it hasn’t closed down. I took my kids there on vacation a few years ago.

They're in the process of closing it, probably in the next couple years

Another #6 head gasket failure 270k miles. “Edit” 311k miles customer I sold a motor to said it was still running strong and no signs of failure he just felt like it was down on power. Good intuition!!

That stuff looks like it works really well. I PMd you regarding the fender flares. Where did you get them?
