Thanks for the feedback. I think I really impressed the middle school girls soccer team practicing at the park today when I peeled out in the gravel.

Seats are meh. Probably sell them for cheap next year and go with Recaros or Corbeaus.

Hunsaker's customer service is as bad as their products.

Mirror is kick ass. Especially for $12. Wish I woulda got the next longer length, though.

What's with the tea-cozy on the brake fluid resevoir? Mop up the fluid that spills when going down a bumpy road?

Remnants of my gay Honda days. It's a ZUNE sweat band I used to have on my Integra reservoir.

They're FJ Cruiser rims



Your truck looks real nice man. Is that a custom battery tie down?

Looks nice. Which Stubbs sliders are those? How much do they extend out past the side of the car? Can you use it as a step, or at least as a step to reach the roof rack?

i don't have one on the truck (never had one on any of my cars) but had em on my bikes (especially new ones with the opeque plastic reservoirs). on a bike it serves two purposes........keeps the heat down on the fluid and more importantly it prevents the UV rays from breaking it down quicker. also, if you dump it (on a track) less chance of spillage. on a car though? hmmm...... oh ya, truck looks reall good btw!

HD-SKO. They line up pretty even with how far my SR5 flares stick out. Makes a great step, too. Especially the kick out.

Back in my queer Honda days, I ran the Spoon sock on my brake reservoir because the lid didn't seal that great and would sometimes leak fluid on track days.

Had a Zune band, so I put it on for old times' sake. Zero function.
