Tire balancing beads
Snicklas, local tire shop charged me $70 to install 4 15" tires on loose rims for the car. A couple changes would definitely pay for the tools.- X-NRCan_IDI

Tire balancing beads
I've been running airsoft BBs in 285/75r16 Duratracs since 2012. Same issue with caliper clearance for aftermarket wheels. I can't remember how much weight I put in each but I referred to a chart online from one of the bead manufacturers. They've worked great for me!- X-NRCan_IDI

So what did you do with your truck today?
Was messing around with my rad core support with a sawzall to get it ready for some good stuff and had the blade bent, kicked out, and poke a hole in my radiator. :idiot: Fins are falling out of it anyway, so I was planning to replace it in the future.. guess the future is closer than...- X-NRCan_IDI

Met mblaney and got a D60 drag link bushing/spacer/hard grease boot installed on my truck yesterday. Highly recommended! Great guy with a great product that completely changes the sketchy loose feeling in the steering caused by drag link roll. :D Look up his thread here for more info...- X-NRCan_IDI

Steering ISSUE fix - Drag link roll causing dead spot
Yep, big thanks to mblaney for his contribution and help with installing the part! It was a pig to get the joint loose. Took her out for a rip and what a difference! I used to have probably a good two inches of dead spot cruising in a straight line and had a bit of that buttpuckering shift...- X-NRCan_IDI

So what did you do with your truck today?
My old 2.5" thrush glass pack was starting to look a little shabby last summer. good 'ol rust was getting to it, so I decided to be proactive and start getting parts to replace the old exhaust with a new 5" setup. This spring the tailpipe disconnected from the back of the muffler, and I was just...- X-NRCan_IDI

So what did you do with your truck today?
The IDI broke down Tuesday two weeks ago. One of the first real hot days we've had up here and I was stuck in stop n go rush hour traffic picking up another starter for the DD Ranger (which I just replaced in Feb. so I got warranty coverage cookoo). Decided to stop in at Mcdonalds for an iced...- X-NRCan_IDI

Is your GP system working good? I had some kind of funky electrical stuff going on and the after-glow wasn't happening. Truck would start but ran reallyyy rough until it got up to temp. Fixed some questionable wiring and its been working great since.. Smooth easy starts. Put a pair of...- X-NRCan_IDI

Other... People...
Blocked diesel pumps is a frequent pet peeve of mine also... What gets me worse though is when I have people cut me off on the freeway. I'm doing the speed limit and then they decide its a good idea to pull in front of me going 10-20km/hr slower. I don't get it... how do you miss seeing a...- X-NRCan_IDI

The really good news is she loves the IDI too and doesn't mind me spending a little time and money on it to keep it around! And she's more of a saver, not a spender.. ;Sweet- X-NRCan_IDI

Here is a little bit of a story... I installed two carr hoop steps to make life easier for my fiancée in the coming years and had to drill some holes in order to do so. While drilling one of the holes I nicked a wire by the driver's door... Didn't think it'd be too important and would fix it...- X-NRCan_IDI

Straight Pipe Or.....
Ditched the factory muffler and put in a Thrush glasspack, 2.5" in/out. I don't find it overwhelmingly loud, but if I'm on it, other people have commented that its quite loud. I can hear exhaust pulses when driving next to barriers/walls/cliffs, particularly if the passenger window is open a...- X-NRCan_IDI
