Is an easy out and a left hand drill bit the same thing? I like the idea of the LH bit, I've already dulled 5 RH bits and broken 3 more on this thing.

JY run is of course always awesome, problem is all the halfwits that remove rims to jack up other vehicles leave the axles rotting in the mud. Oh and it's supposed to ****ing cold and raining Sat morning

Thanks for the suggestions guys

Uh white letters in or out is all you... I say in but hey you probably don't care what I think lol... Speedo won't be off THAT much but go look in the lift and tire thread in modified tech and on the last or second to last page there is a link to how to find the right speedo gear and how to install

I run 31's, speedo isn't off enough to be an issue. MAYBE 5mph slow at highway speed (About 65).

x2 on possible blown bulb. When a bulb goes out the clickers usually run 3x as fast.
