Safari here, works just fine.


Diet is so I can keep myself under 230 lbs. lol

Try it with Lord Calvert once, you will be addicted. (And no, that's not what's in the bottle)



Well I took all the WTs off my tires and added some airsoft bbs. 7oz in each tire. It made a noticeable difference, but still has a bit of a shake. But a bottle of pop doesn't shake in the cup holder anymore. I'm wondering if I need to get centric rings to put on like Christina did....


O and I found more chipped paint from the tire tech. Guess he didn't realize you need a thin wall socket to get the lugs on and off.

And the bbs.
I used .25 gram ones. 200 gram in each tire.

the EX got new shoes on Sunday and I am glad to have those noisy Toyo's off of it... I can have a conversation while going highway speed.


I used airsoft bb's to balance the tires and it works great. I used 11 oz in each tire, went from 285's to 315's

I disagree, Skip. White letters out is pretty traditional on trucks and muscle cars. All you have to do is clean them once in a while and it's a good look.
