  1. Ive never tried those but i do love me some LEDs. If i was still running trail techs that would be a definite thing to try on my list.
  2. buy once cry once, i had bad luck with rockymountain chains on 2 bikes. i know other people have had great luck with them but they didnt last one dune trip for me. I was having to tighten them every tank of fuel. Based on positive feedback from others on here i must have gotten a bad batch or somehting but i buy decent chains now and move on.
  3. I think that was basically the norm for that dickhead. Just about everybody got scammed by him ONCE. I bought a taillight from him years ago and the description said perfect working order. Well it was technically true, it worked perfectly, only problem was the lens was cracked all to shit and a huge chunk was even missing. fucking scammer.
  4. You may just want to get trail tech units if you are looking to buy online. I usually get them from rockymountainatv. I have bought MR16 landscaping bulbs at home depot but then you need to solder on leads. The trail techs come with leads already installed. If you do buy local, the 10 degree beams are the spot bulbs and the flood bulbs are like 35 degrees or something like that it will be listed on the box. Also you are looking for a 35 watt bulb unless your stator is upgraded then you can get away with 50 or 75 watts. Look for the bulbs that say coolwhite not warm white, the warm ones put off a more yellow looking light
  5. I thought they just used regular old mr16 light bulbs
  6. take air out of tires. faster to air up than change when you get there
  7. Only reason i bought the gytr is because it was available locally and i needed it that day or i wasnt going riding. My buddy called and said he was heading out to an area we ride that is rocky as fuck. I had beat up a couple bikes bad there before and had no intentions of riding the new bike there without some sort of belly skid. I couldnt even tell you what it cost now but i can remove it and the bottom of the bike looks like new. It did mount up cleanly and neatly as well. In my book thatt is a win win. I have no doubt there are aftermarket variants that are just as good but cheaper.
  8. Im running a GYTR UHMW skid on my yfz450r and it has held up awesome. Way better than any aluminum skid ive had. so far i have destroyed 1 aluminum A-arm skid and working on destroying my second aluminum swing arm skid and the plastic chassis skid is none the worse for wear
  9. hahaha. what really makes this video funny is that these kids really act this way.
  10. PM me your address so i can send you some white oakleys and a flat bill hat
  11. Oh stop it now everybody knows they added that feature to make it easier for the tech to get the truck to fit between the posts on the lift. Over the life of the truck it will save hours on flat rate.
  12. port timing most likely. Even though kicking compression is reading lower my guess is your compression ratio is higher
  13. Meh that thing is ok but none of you guys were baller enough to rock a 1982 Olds cutlass diesel. 120 horsepower of pussy magnet material. My Neighbor had one in high school, that car went through hell and back it was a royal fucking turd
  14. I have no idea on a drag bike but im pretty sure carbon fiber is the new hotness in the big high end cars like F1 and shit. Then again i imagine they are paying a bit more than a few hundred bucks for their rotors
  15. I dont get the whole nose sky high in the air deal, ive always leveled my trucks but this whole deal they have going on now baffles me. As does the neon colored suspension pieces
  16. Its a BRO thing. Gay as fuck. Tow mirrors paint matched to the body with them flipped out all the time. Usually has 24" rims and about 3 more inches of lift in the front than the back. Fucking stupid kids. Typically wearing white oakleys on the back of their head and a flat billed hat
  17. http://oldglorymtb.com/video-how-its-made-kettle-cycles-carbon-fiber-siccc-brake-rotors/ Time to buy some carbon fiber rotors big baller.
  18. If they build a diesel that burns that same rice im in
  19. Why cant honda build a heavy duty diesel truck? just sayin
  20. I didnt see what pipes you are running and if you post it up guys can get you a good starting place. Before i had my 350 ported i ran T5s VF3s k&n pods 21 cc domes +4 timing on 93. I had 340 mains and 27.5 pilots running at sea level. It was a safe tune.
  21. There is a law on the books that says if it is productive, fun, or just makes sense, you are not allowed to do it here. Its fucked what can i say
  22. I also agree, my issue is this. As you stated you fixed the issues related to the 6 liter. I believe i read that you deleted and tuned your trucks correct? If i misread that forgive me. Here is my big rub on that. Some of us have emissions testing and even road side checks to deal with. i dont agree with any of it but its a reality. So for guys here, they do not have the option to remove the shit that poisons the new trucks. Im aware there are fixes that help but removal is the real answer yes? I would never ever say that all 3 of the makers dont have their issues, that is stupid. However removing emissions equipment to make a truck reliable is simply not an option around here. You wanted to know the reasons i feel the way i feel and i told you. We will just have to agree to disagree about what brand is parked in the garage. Im truly happy your trucks have worked out for you, i hate seeing people take it in the ass with lemons. Trust me if you read above ive got one now. I took a chance and went against trusted advice given to me and it bit me in the ass. My neighbor has the exact same car and has had zero issues. With regard to the trucks I just cant justify switching away from something that has done me well and the last thing i want to hear is I told you so AGAIN. I just spent about 8 hours on a road trip in a new superduty. The interior was awesome, it rode great and ran really well. I would have liked to put my trailer on it to tow something but didnt have time and its not mine. Perhaps the 6.7 will change my mind on the powerstroke. The 15 ram HD rides amazing imho and i think the interior is great in it as well. If it were not for the availability of the Aisin in the 3500 and up ram i might look harder at a ford right now. For me im going to stick with what has worked just like you will stick with what has worked for you. Jesus christ you made me go all windycity
  23. Oh i cant wait im sure it will be some ad hominem attack because i chose to use my intellect to earn a living.
  24. Yep im a pharmacist, it doesnt change the fact the i have been a gear head all my life. I worked my way through school building motors and transmissions and general mechanics. What is your point?
