You speeding at 120 again Tony?
I did hit 100. I wanted to see how it would do. I noticed the play in the steering, and I'm not crazy about how these tires feel on the front end. I need to try to tighten this box up a little.
Sorry no pics. My gf was with me and she was silently cursing me out! I only did a quick little burst.

Glad that she was silently cursing you out. My right side ear drum would have been blown completely out, if I tried that with my wife in the truck.

Yeah, we've been together long enough. She knows me, and I know her!

Same here. I keep it nice and mellow. She does know what the Hoes will do. My bil is a cop.

you will find those tires to be a little squirmy on the road. You can probably give the adjuster on your steering a 1/4 turn tighter without any negative effect. I would put the wrench on the nut and then the hex key in the adjuster. Note the position of the hex key and try to hold it in place while you loosen the nut. Then go almost 1/4 with the adjuster and then turn the nut tight with it for the last little bit. I can’t remember if I went 1/4 or 1/2 tuen on my 03 but the tires made it squishy feeling.

That’s a damn dark thought sir...

I didn't say I enjoyed it. But I wasn't gonna swerve into oncoming traffic nor into the ditch. Just hit the brakes, held my lane and hoped for the best.

My tires have felt squirrely, doggy, catty, coony, snakey, owly, mousey, opossumy, armadilloey, crawfishy, caterpillary and turtley.

Thaf's one helluva list dub! You need one of those kill lists on your fender--like what the Americans put on their planes during WW2. I hope that list wasn't all in 1 day.

Damn, killer. All I’ve hit in 45 years of driving is a squirrel or two. But I don’t live in Louisiana either where there’s probably something squirming or crawling across every road. But still...damn, killer! :(

Me personally--I killed 1 stupid squirrel in my entire driving career. And I felt bad about it--stupid squirrel....
OH--And 1 bat.

I’m not far behind @iamdub.

Coyote, 3 turtle doves in the grill at once, owl, deer twice, cat (body was flat but tail was waving for a little bit), squirrel, dog (poor kid broke my heart) multiple birds (windshield and antenna), turtle, various raccoons, skunks, opossums, etc.
