I dunno man...after my Death Valley trip, I gotta say I'm LOVING my new Tiburon seats...before I would be uncomfortable after about 2 hours...I drove all damn day, from 5 am, until 8pm, on the highway and offroad, and didn't start "feeling it" until I was an hour from home on the way back...that and rear disc conversion...I wish I could do selectables now, but again don't see throwing any more coin at factory axles...regardless, it's gonna be a damn sight better than it was, and I'm happy with that, LOL

LMAO...

Here's my story, and I'm sticking to it, haha

I first got my 35's...on sale, smoking deal, from a tire warehouse in Denver, and was going to lock/gear shortly after, but then things changed at my job, and I ended up leaving there, so the move/life sucked up that funding, LOL...long story short, a bit later, I had enough money to gear, but not lock, and I did so, to save wear and tear, as well as gas money, haha! So here I am now, and FINALLY happy to be locked!!!

Keep in mind, when I regeared, I was officially unemployed...was buying and selling on ebay. Was covering bills, and had a good run for a minute, and took advantage. I was also going to school full-time, on my own dime, and shortly after I did gears, got my current job...

Second one should be here in a couple of days...wasn't prime, but was also $50 cheaper than prime, and the prime listing said not in stock until the 15th anyways, so....

Nice, I love prime. We've been members since 2010, the 2 day free shipping is awesome.

Agreed, not to mention the tv shows, movies, music etc.

I got an amazon fire box and rarely even use cable anymore.

The shipping alone pays for my membership many times over.

Awwwww yeah! I work for Dematic and we install the majority of the conveyor systems that go in Amazon warehouses so definitely an Amazon supporter! lol You didn't leave us links though:-P. Unfortunately I can't get myself to order 2 sets of autolockers. Too much snow and ice(just got ~30" Sunday) and if the wifey ever drives it I'd be concerned...lol Might get a no-slip for the rear and OX for front...haven't decided fully. You can get that one installed while you wait for the other though;-)!

Also glad to hear you barely notice it, as the rear has been my only concern

i couldnt tell you about the spartan tho. im interested to know what your thoughts are on the front, i need to pull my carrier to change the seals any how, might as well lock it since it'll be aprt anyways
