  1. Personally I would use synthetic 5w30 or 10w30. Synthetic seems to be better quality and more reliable. Do you do a lot of driving on dirt or dusty roads? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Oops! I clicked on the same one twice. Meant to include this one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Took a couple pictures of the pathy last week, an I thought I'd put some up on here for you guy to see! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. I had it aligned pretty recently, but not since I put on the new wheels and tires. I will definitely do that and see if it helps. Thanks guys (: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Okay so I recently put on some new American racing wheels with slightly larger tires than stock. The wheels have the same bolt pattern but are lug-centric, not hub-centric. I've noticed that when I'm on the highway the steering wheel will shake/vibrate at certain speeds. Sometimes it does it an sometimes it doesn't. Seems to happen in the 60 mph range, but I haven't really gone much faster. The wheels are balanced (at least as far as I know... I bought them with the tires mounted but they did have weights on them). Is it shaking because the wheels aren't hub-centric? If so, is it going to be an issue? I like the wheels but I don't want anything to happen because I'm not taking proper precautions. Let me know if you guys have any insight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. I just got back from a mission trip to Guatemala, so I haven't been able to look yet. I'll definitely be searching Craigslist but if anyone finds something let me know! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. I copped a set of four American racing wheels today from a friend for $75, an offer I couldn't pass up. The tires on there right now are complete garbage and are old, worn out, and cracking. Anyone have suggestions for a good set of 31x10.5r16 (or similar size) tire? I need new ones pretty fast and I don't have much money. Thanks! (: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Aw man I'm not going to be able to make it. I'm going on a mission trip to Guatemala and I get back late on the 25th. If I get back early or anything I'll try to come by. I'll let y'all know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Does anyone want to meet somewhere near San Jose and convoy down? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I've seen that rig on the road a few times! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. jyeager, haha I doubt I could find a deal that good around my area. Even if I could I don't really want to replace the whole thing if it doesn't need it. Rather spend the money on a lift, you know? Anyway, right now I have two ideas/options of what to do: 1) just leave it how it is and forget about it unless something else goes wrong or 2) cut off all the piping behind the muffler and weld on a turn down. What would you guys recommend? Would there be cautions or benefits to one or the other? I want the best sound I can get without taking off the muffler. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Kyle, thanks for the input. It's the part after the resonator that came off, so it's still pointing out the back, not up at the floor, even though it is kind of up under there where it's dumping now. How necessary is the resonator? I was actually considering doing exactly what you and 0metra did: cutting off all the pipe behind the muffler and welding on a turndown or side dump, or just leaving it straight. Idk. What would you recommend? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. RoguePathy, yeah they're pretty strict with that kind of thing. I'm not too worried about it though because 1) I got it smogged last year so I have a couple more years until it needs to go in again, 2) by then it will probably have bigger issues I'll need to deal with, and 3) the part that came off was after the resonator so I don't think it changes much. I guess we'll just have to wait and see! jyeager, thanks for the insight. I'll probably leave it like this for now then unless I find one at a scrap yard for a good deal. Was there an issue that came up after 6 months or is that just how long you waited to replace it?
  14. So my rig has been making this annoying rattling noise when it idles for awhile and I finally decided to check it out. Then I realized that the tailpipe was completely rusted out, which was what was causing it to rattle at low rpm. After taking the picture I bumped it an it compel tell fell off! Better than on the road, I guess. Anyway, I was surprised by how much of a difference it made in the sound. I went for a drive on some back roads in the hills behind my house, and the exhaust time is much deeper and more throaty sounding now. It sounds awesome!!! I think I'm just gonna leave it like this and not bother fixing it, since it doesn't affect much besides making it sound really cool. Is there any reason that I should consider welding it back on or replacing it instead? On a side note, here are a few pictures from my drive (: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Honestly I have no idea what antenna it is. My friend just had a few old cb antennas lying around in his garage and he gave one to me. All I know is that it's 2' tall. I may get a bigger one so I can fly a full size flag. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Solid looking rig man! Good to see someone else with a red pathy (: I don't think I've seen a coop like that before on an r50... is it functional?
  17. Thanks for all the support guys! CDN_S4: I realized that as soon as I logged in on my computer I will definitely keep that in mind in the future. XPLORx4: I did weld a gusset onto it for that exact reason. Its in the back near the body so you can't really see it in any of the pictures Underoath: Oh yeah! Representing Not Of This World too, I see (: I'm hoping to get a HE>i sticker sometime in the future as well.
  18. Finally made an account after looking from the shadows for such a long time! Does anyone know how to work the tepatalk app or how to delete posts? I started a topic from that app and it posted it six times!!
  19. Hey everyone I finally made an account on here after a very long time of just looking at the forums! I'll jump right in! Me and my friend built this cb antenna mount in his garage with some spare metal lying around. I screwed it in to the same hole that the tailgate stopper attaches to, so no drilling was required. All it took was shaving down the rubber stopper 1/4" and bending/welding the mount together. The main reason I'm using the antenna is to fly my American Flag, as I do not have a cb radio, though I have been thinking about it. Let me know what you guys thing!
