Adding some limited slip additive to my rear diff after work. This rain and it's slick roads have shown me that regardless of what Royal Purple claims, you still need the additive. The popping around corners is quite noticeable on a wet road.

Say that to my face when you get stuck and need the items in my box The great thing about the ratchet straps I went with are they both ratchet tighter AND they loosen up so you can remove them. It's crazy, when I need to haul things I can move it around or just remove it from the truck all together. These straps aren't special order or anything and neither is that snazzy chain, you can just buy it without a permit at any hardware store. You don't have to tell them what it's for either, just buy it and do as you will (maybe secure a load in a pickup or make a robust tire swing?).

Nice. Are you planning to make huge jumps w your EX or something ? Slight overkill I'd say.

Anything loose in a vehicle can be a deadly projectile in a collision. Looks like Apoc is being safety conscious to me.

SO TRUE!

In my head on crash I had a bad with 4 12oz coke cans in a bag under the second row arm rest. They ended up hitting the windshield! Luckily my huge subwoofer box was strapped in with 2 straps but it still moved a little.
