[QUOTE=3hree5ive0ero;8083678]Chris: Sounds like fun.[/QUOTE

Chris I have been loving riding around again...remember the Mothra cruise ? Well it almost the same cruising around the same back roads in the country.
I feel safe without a lot of traffic around me & cruising along at nice speeds.

So I did a diff install yesterday..ran into one lil snag...dude got diff bearings from Oreillys.. and guess what - they were the WRONG SIZE. So I call courtesy..and they only have one.. and NO other dealership or Jap auto store has them..

forgot to mention - client drove from LAREDO TX...just to get this done ..

Lets just say I figured some shiet out and was able to complete the install.. I will post pics later.. Ya'll are going to trip! Client was SUPER happy.. I got some extra tools.. So it was WIN WIN...I learned alot from this experience as well.. YOU cant give up...theres a solution to everything - even if you given up...

That brings back good memories. I remember last time the Colts won the super bowl, my dad and I went out and bought a new big HDTV finally. Although we took home the floor model until one came into the store.

Ok, so I go to courtesy to have the oil changed, and mentioned that my rear tire runnin low again, not much, but 1-2 lbs every 2 months. Well, problem found Finishing nail, just outside the area they will patch......so need 2 new back tires... 265/35/19 and they dont have em.... Mckinney,Dallas,Trophy dont have em, call my brother inlaw in Chicago "Discount Tire" he cant find north texas store with em either
Courtesy will order them, maybe come tues or wednesday. Any one else have this problemo ?

Ya I tried to fix it and no go. SOB . I did fix it with SOME adjustment, it's a tadd bit better but knowing me..****.

Chris it's a 46" LCD non led, 60hz model. I am not a fan of 120-240hz model tv, the picture looks really fake imo. The sound bar is not bad at all, it's a lot better then the tv speakers. But won't give you no true 5.1, it's for downstairs so I really got it cause it's better than tv speakers, and it looks good. For upstairs I'm gonna go with a real 5.1/7.1

It's good if you don't want clutter, and need something better then stock speakers.

The sub I'm using is the wireless one that came with it.

hum, where exactly???

who says courtesy has to be the shop to fix it.... a finishing nail is small and a "just outside the area" hole.....to me that doesnt mean sidewall but the start of the radius of tire to road contact patch......would be fine if thats the case...

blah, get a local tire shop to fix it... up to you..
