Oh! Well then...

I certainly have a lot of respect for him for being upfront about his mistakes and sharing his story and video so that others won't end up like him before. That video, along with Nova's video of slipping on black ice, makes me want to take it easy on ACH when I go up there sometime.

But you're from LA, so we aren't expecting you to know that, I guess?

Edit: This post makes me sound like a ****. Sorry lol
I won't BS anyone. I don't know anything about driving in snow!

All good man.

Yeah, just cruise in the canyon and enjoy the scenery and take fun pics. It's still very fun when you are driving casually!

I finally figure out a way to get my get my cruise control to fully function again. It required a lot of soldering, headaches, and resistors.

I have no idea how to drive in the snow either! Plus, I've never been to ACH before.

I might try going up anyway, seeing as the first time I was on GMR was on a dark night... Though that doesn't compare to first time on ACH with snow, I'm sure! I'll take some extra precautions and drive as slow as I can and enjoy the scenery at the same time.

I've been meaning to do that, actually. For personal reasons, I'm holding off on canyon runs, but I'll do one if you guys head up to ACH again. Give me a sec.

Why do you have more camber in the rear than the front?

Because I don't have lower control arms/camber plates.

Those are the alignment numbers after RCE lowering springs and camber bolts.

I have a Grimmspeed one coming in next week. Hopefully it fits lol
Thanks. I was looking at the AEM before I saw your Hotchkis but it already has the brace built in. Could always pass on the Perrin....
I really like the one piece strut bars more than the multi part ones.

I gave my car a proper wash for the first time in a couple of months. Looks way better, haha
