    Shock therapy...

    So that fvkking busted shock has been getting worse, to the point where it's unsafe to drive over anywhere from 50 to 80 mph, and that varies depending on day, temp, and how many slow people I've run over in a day. A couple weeks ago, I had to drive to far south Dallas during that vicious...

    It's tire time... :(

    The Nitto's are toast, 26k over 3 years (I know, my fault, didn't rotate them soon enough), so it's time for new meats. And, of course, it means I'm asking y'all what I should get. The choices are either the Hankooks Ventus ST, a 50k tire with a warranty :rollseyes, or the Nitto 555...

    No, not the truck (thank goodness!) The stereo in the truck, however, died an ugly death. :( I had swapped the stock double-DIN unit for a 2003 F150/Lightning unit with the in-dash 6-disc CD changer, and as a bonus got the ability to use the under-seat 6-disc changer that was original, for...

    Welp, I began my tire carrier project today. What that is, is a T-bar that mounts in the hitch receiver, so I can carry the slicks without trying to jam 'em into the bed. This'll be very necessary when I heat-cycle them. Damned garage is a mess, spent the first two hours trying to find shit...
