Yes, they are adjustable. The front is 25.4 hollow and adjustable, I don't know the rear' diiameter offhand. I am not sure if I would buy them again.

It didn't look like a cop due to the fact that i couldn't see front lights and no spot light on the mirror. Well as he is coming up on my left he absolutely scares the Shit out of me and turn on his sirens for a sec. My windows are always open so it was loud. I look over and barely can see thru his tint but notice that he gives me a thumbs up. All that for a thumbs up. Blowing a light riding my ass then scaring the Shit out of me. A subtle drive by with the windows down and a thumbs up out the window would have sufficed. Lol

Well I have worked out all of the routes and unfortunately there just isn't any twisty routes. It's pretty much straight. But we do get to stop at Hoover Dam

I'm definitely bringing some basic tools (screwdrivers, socket set, allen wrenches). Does anyone want/need me to bring the jack and some jackstands? I wasn't planning on changing my wheels, so if no one's going to need the heavy stuff, I'll leave it at home.

Through Prescott?? It's an extra hour and a half more than this route, which is what I thought was the normal route

Edit: Ok so apparently if you don't yet have the new Google Maps update, the first route I linked to doesn't display correctly. It should've been this.

So let me just start by saying how excited I am for Vegas!!!

Secondly for those of you wondering what to pack, we briefly discussed this at dinner on Tuesday and then Jeff and I talked again last night. We are thinking of going out and to do that we want to look good. Haha. So guys and gals bring dress clothes. Dress pants, shoes, shirt, etc...its Vegas! Girls I am sure you know a dress, heels, etc. Just to cover all bases and if we choose a certain club we dont want to get rejected at the door. Again thats only if you plan to come out with us.

And finally I know Jeff and I receieved a PM to qualify for the car show in Vegas...are there any other AZ members representing in the show?

My vote is the 60/93 route...I think through Prescott is way out of the way.

Shortest distance. We have the cruise Saturday for a twisty fix.

You guys need to check out Day Light/Eclipse since it just opened a little over a month ago. Marquee or Hakasan are amongst some of the other top clubs if you're planning on going out. I am kinda sad I am not going to make it up there but I will be out there next weekend as it is.
