For the tires!?!?! If you want tires to shine, DO NOT use spray. get the Armor all tire shine JEL!!! That stuff lasts forever. Well alot longer then the spray.

Out of curiousity why didn't you just say Armorall instead of hosting a pic and everything?

He didn't...... another company did and he just copied the image code.

...it was just for effect.

Hey Weston, are you running wheel adapters? If so what width? I like your stance.

i'm running 1.25" in the front only, back is unaltered. it looks normal on the passenger side but its only cause of the axle offset from not adjusting the panhard bar, its a little more noticeable on the driver side but not much at all.

I have the parts I just am holding off on install. I live in coastal georgia (flatlands) with elevation changes rarely seen over 100 feet so its not noticeable. When it comes time do pull the gears I will be installing lockers, all that will probably happen this summer if all goes as planned.

I wish I could decode my axle code, sometimes I feel like I have 4.30s. I've driven Blake's with 4.56s a few times and the difference is minimal. I'll probably do the driveshaft rotation test next time I'm bored.

Because if I were to just say "use Armor All on those tires" I would get flamed, since super shiny surfaces are shunned and look crappy. I use the 'Original Shine' Armor All only, because it gives back the "fresh" look to tires, engine bay hoses and some plastics. It doesn't make it blinging

I like the tires to look new instead of shiney, i don't think shiney would do well on my truck anymore. Did manage to clean her up last night. What better way to test the durability of the new paint than to put them through a 1000 mile trip



I'll update when I'm back, adios amigos

I had slight vibrations on the way home, took the wheels off and remounted the adapters with new application of loctite, don't even know they're there.

got a little bored today with the roomates, we're the only ones home for spring break so we took the 4 wheelers and mini bike to the front of our neighborhood and through the lake...well not the mini but everyone else
