Very aggressive looking track wheels, Nissan should have made these wheels available as an option at time of car purchase for non track models. Much nicer than than the five spoke chrome wheels availble to the 05-06 models. Imagine the contact patch on 11's.

thanks i am going on the aggressive look but i need to change out my springs to something with a lower drop. My tein dampers only allow me to do a 1.3inch in the rear

Miles, those wheels are badarse! Amazing on how much wheel you can stuff in those wheel wells! You'll get to put em to the test tomorrow.
thanks Jim. i am sure you can stuff some 12s in the rear without a problem.

don't laugh, i am running some continental tires 255/35/19s and some other different tire in the rear. Its so hard to find used tires for the rim. Still waiting on my new set to come in.

^ that is a great check list. Likewise looking forward, I need to get to bed but have some minor details to still do.

Charge batteries for cameras...drats I did not have time to test my GoPro mount and live monitor feed.

Gather up maps and menus...Hey Jim would you be availible to call in the order for lunch and just a head count for dinner?

Make my binder with maps and such.

Touch up paint on front grill
Clean windows again
Clear bra protective spray
Check tire presure
Pack fluids and trail mix
No detail stuff this time, last run they were flying back forth in the back hatch. Well maybe some quick detailer and a few MF clothes.

See you guys in AM. Yep all good to go here too except final oil check after it sits (just pulled it back in the garage 90 mins ago). Lol @ touchup paint. I need touchup paint for my whole bumper at this point I did get the car washed, interior clean and a coat of carnauba wax on the car in under 2 hours though. That was win.

Beats me, I started washing the car(s) at 3pm did not finish until 6:45pm.

Clear Bra FTW

It's getting late and I still have to touch up and make binders. Been texting and emailing Caravan folks from Fairfield.

Probably my last post, will check once in the morning.

See ya all tomorrow!

Only because I used my buffer. No way in hell I'd have been able to do a coat by hand on top of the normal wash/detail stuff in that time. Clear bra, yeah I want one, but I gotta get the bumper fixed first. Didn't learn about them until it was already too late, and now it's of course even worse. Ugh, ok off to bed before I get too little sleep.
