I got a 16p nail stuck in the sidewall, on the inside of my tire, on my truck. I drove with it sticking out hitting the head on every rotation till it wore the head off. I thought it was a rock stuck in my tire going "tick tick tick"


Found it when I replaced all the tires. The tire never lost any air, which I found kinda weird...

I NEED more information to make sure I'm getting all the correct "bits and peices"

Welp, first off, YOU made the statement:

"Please talk me into or out of any of these parts".

So, I was just trying to talk you OUT of any of those parts.

Now, if you're WANTING to throw parts at your car for therapy, that's another thing.

I'd suggest you start with light weight pulleys and then move on to wheel spacers, in 1mm increments.

However, I'm not so sure that works, case in point, @Sapphireho - did it help him? - noooo, he had to go out and buy ANOTHER car -

I remember back-in-the-day, I used to do a lot of wrenching for therapy - I would have to get my car running to get away from the farm -

It's okay, they're all hub centric.



Just noticed the very fitting plate.

Thanks! Yes, I should have been more clear. Talk me into another brand or type of part instead of what I have listed...


But, yeah, the car is great the way it is. I have just turned 76,000 miles. No REAL NEED to do anything to it now. I already have tint and a better stereo, the two things I feel the car NEEDS. I just WANT to keep my interest in this car awhile longer for a few reasons:


It will cost less to play with this car than buy a new one.


I really like driving it.


It looks good for 6 years old.


And, I really enjoy being part of this forum.

Hm... prob need to make new Random thought thread soon. I'm getting 5 pages behind when I click on it.

I mean if you're a fan of CSG, although I'd ask for a bit more product description for the cost, just a bit. Also I'd be pretty disappointed if it didn't show up in that loot crate... erm, shipping container?.
