  1. I've got 235/75 Wildpeak AT3W's on my 5speed 2.8 and it's not horrible. It's also 1.5" in the front and 1" in the rear. The total lift cost was like $80 I think.
  2. One of my co-workers had all her free tows with AAA that she let me use one of, which was awesome. Glad it didn't let go at 55-60.
  3. Drove the Comanche to work today, which rarely happens cause it's a 50 mile drive and the Comanche doesn't like the highway. Anyway, I make the turn into the parking lot and it starts making an awful noise. I thought the D35 or the t-case finally bit the bullet. I pull in a spot and check the truck and apparently I had lost 2 lug nuts long ago as the studs were rusted, and 2 of the remaining studs had snapped. I think the studs snapped on the turn into the parking lot. The last was only 2 full turns on. I think I'm gonna have to replace the wheel as well as the holes got rounded out a bit. Luckily I've been just sitting and waiting on throwing in the 4.10 axles I have from the parts truck. This gives me a reason to. Anyways go check your lug nuts if you can't recall exactly the last time you did.
  4. Hope someone snapped up the topper.
  5. Check your sink trap before tearing cabinets down. The trap in our bathroom starts smelling bad when it needs cleaning.
  6. Yeah, that's the tree in my front yard haha.
  7. Those are the tow mirrors I sold to Piratestaz off of my truck lol
  8. They declined my offer of $20 for some reason.
  9. I'm sure in the next few months, especially with winter coming, this years equipment will be hitting the used market. Fat bikes look super cool IMO, but like you said they seem useful for only some stuff. I'm astounded with how easy it is to climb with this bike. My last one was a mid 90's rigid Trek, and even in better shape back in the day I remember it being harder than this bike.
  10. The stock don't function that way. However, I also have the Blazer lights and mine do this is well. Not sure what about these lights makes the whole circuit come on though.
  11. The inspection date is 1984 so it could only fit the 86's. From my recollection of the brackets on my 2.8 I'd guess it was for a 2.8.
  12. Well, two weeks ago I ended up going to a LBS right by my work and picking up this Specialized Rockhopper 29. It was a little more than I really wanted to spend, but a few things sold me: Lifetime frame warranty 2 year warranty on everything else Specialized said the frame and all the components would be fine jumping around with my weight on it The shop included 2 free tune-ups, 30-90 days and 1 year If I have any issues the shop is less than 10 minutes from work Have only put maybe 20 miles on it, but this thing rips.

    Overland MJs

    Nate aka Dirt Lifestyle did a really good video about these recently.
  14. Those are some snazzy looking wheels!
  15. Both my 86's have honey interiors. My low optioned 86 has a non-tilt black column. My high optioned 86 has a honey tilt column. I assume both are original but I don't know for sure.
  16. I assume it's for column shift trucks. I would be interested in a redesigned full console cup-holder if you end up making one OP.
  17. I have two 86's, an early and a late, at the house and can say for certain the standard handle, #4, doesn't fit in either of the spare winches.
  18. Well I called pretty much every local shop in a 25 mile radius and none of them have stock priced under $1500, and I'm not dropping that on something I might not be crazy about. I've been looking at FB and CL and everything that would work for me is either way too pricey even used or it's sold within the hour. So the hunt will continue.
  19. I did something sort of similar a few years ago on my old Honda CB500. I needed to make a u turn and forgot to check the ground I was turning on. I leaned into the turn going left and halfway through my front hit a patch of dirt/sand on the middle lines. The whole bike came out from under me and then bounced and threw me over the right side. A 500lbs bike does not feel good when it slams solely on your thigh. Had a baseball sized hematoma on my leg for about 4 months.
  20. Looking at bikes you are correct about the weight limits. I'm seeing a lot of "300 combined #'s rider, bike and gear" and I'd be awful close with that. We have a hipster part in the closest city that has a few bike shop/beer joint places and one particular shop I'm gonna call this morning that does Marin/Specialized/Ibis/Santa Cruz that a few people have recommended me go to. Luckily I still have 90% of my dirt bike gear, so I can cross over that gear until I have the money for gear that doesn't need to be as heavy. So that'll save me money up front. What was the bad habit?
  21. Well, I can not get in contact with the person that has the Felt for sale. So the hunt shall continue. I might just go to a local shop and tell them how much I'm willing to spend and see what they offer me.

    Look what i got

    Congrats!!!
  23. I'm telling you there all over the place up here. A couple years back I even posted about seeing one with a hidden winch at the grocery store.
  24. It probably could. It has a stupid simple spring to keep it closed, and pivots on a roll pin. You could probably get it modeled and scale it down enough to where you don't have to trim it. But it was only $12 so unless you already had all the tools idk how cost effective it would be.
