Pulled the trigger on the ADO Performance Leaf Packs. I’ll set them to heavy and possibly look at changing out bump stops.

Anybody know of a reputable online place for cheap U-bolts? Mine are the 9/16” zinc coated squared version. There are a million results online with a wide range of prices, but I want to avoid junk while also avoiding paying ridiculous markup just because they’re sold by an “offroad” company.
Nisstec has U-Bolts for a reasonable price.

You can call Six States here in SLC, They'll make any U bolt you want. Last time I needed some some they had them made for me in less than 2 hours.

They don't have the square ones, but I'm not buying anything from Nisstec again until they fix their sh*tty store software.

Example: U-bolts for $44.65, but add $22 shipping.
2 sets of U-bolts is $89.30, and shipping jumps to $30.12.

I've spoken to Nico about it, and they acknowledge it's messed up and doesn't at all reflect actual costs, but they don't bother to fix it presumably because it's a nice little profit.

Already called my local Napa and U-bolts I need are $10 cheaper than the Nisstec "sale" price and I can pickup local or get free shipping.

This is beyond frustrating because we're so close to so many people being able to be immune. It's like people sprinting over a bridge that's not done being built yet.

That sucks, more stuff just got shut down here. But not another full lock down yet.
The province of Ontario just declared another state of emergency and shut everything down. To the point of you can only buy groceries, pharmaceuticals and pet supplies at Walmart. But they are keeping the schools open.

Me before paying off my truck: “When I pay it off, I can save some money.”
Me after paying it off: “I can totally buy a RTT, awning brackets, molle panels, leaf springs, bump stops, and other crap because I’m saving money.”
Just curious ? How much did you MPG go down since your basically carrying a box on the roof with more wind resistance then most sport's car's ? . And how's it handle when it's windy with high gust's ? Have you thought about a pully system on the ceiling n the garage so you could take off/put on without much effort ? Inquiring mind's wanna know [ Or basically we need something new to read ] :eek:

Straight highway, I lost 2.5 mpg. I honestly haven’t gone a full tank since without off-roading, so haven’t seen the full picture yet.

No rocking with gusts, but I can feel the difference in a strong wind on the highway.

I have those overhead storage shelves from Costco that are supposed to hold 800 lbs, and cleared out a spot. I have a heavy duty d-ring on the wall behind it, and one in the ceiling about halfway between the wall and the front, so I can use a ratchet strap to get it up there. If I back into the garage, the tent of course can’t fit under it, and the bottom is about 10” from the shelf so it should be an easy lift.

Oh. And I bought a v2 Genesis on ebay. I have a stack of old games. Need to figure out what I'm doing with that. I really want to get a SegaCD. For one reason. I have a copy of Sonic CD in the basement.

Best. Video game. Soundtrack. Ever.

Never had a CD console. But I do still have my NeS, super nes, genesis and turbo grafx in the closet. Not to mention my psp, and like five gens of game boy. I need to sell that shiat probably.
I loved the psp and the 3ds XL probably the best as far as portables.
