That's not the answer. My windshield took a small rock and chipped in the middle of nowhere, Utah. The only vehicle was a small car driving the other direction, in lanes separated by a huge dirt median, and it was easily 300+ yards away. I was a bit confused as the rock seemed to come from...

PM sent.

I would not mind. There is little protect land remaining, and I believe protecting what's left is important. I do not feel entitled to drive everywhere.

lol No.

Correct. I bought it and used it once, for changing the clutch in my (now gone) Mazda RX8 in my driveway. It's 6.5" lowered, and surprisingly goes up to 32".

What you get: A Harbor Freight 2000 lb transmission jack in excellent shape, complete with cobwebs and dust. What I get: More space in my garage. It's complete with all the pieces, works 100%, and the hydraulics are leak-free (imagine that from HF!). Located in San Diego area.

Ya that makes sense. Dang it now I gotta put another checkmark in the "wrong" column.

Unless I'm reading it wrong (which I probably am), it seems to say that it's for the Raptor. "Using Progressive Range Selection-Excluding" : Raptor. In other words, it's for Excluding a range of gears, and it's for the Raptor. Maybe you are reading it like this: "Using Progressive Range...

Have these been crash tested? Or at least put through a computer simulation? Even if they look nice, if they are not designed correctly they can actually be more dangerous than having no crash bars.

Where are the rear doors on a 2dr? I looked for them on mine but no luck finding them....

It sure looks like one side of the clutch disk is completely gone, while the other side has friction material. That tells me it's not you, because the disk floats, and should wear (or burn up) somewhat evenly. Almost looks like it was binding / stuck on the splines.

I never said they were quiet, I was just answering a question. You're way off topic.

Gas pressure in the shock has almost zero effect on spring rate and is just a static force, so can just be subtracted from sprung weight. But aside from that, something doesn't sound right. You have 9.7" of up travel at the wheel (5.65 spring / MR)? That means the wheel rate is only ~115 lb/in...

Yes, I tested with GY RTs and BFG KO2s. That was one of the things I was testing. It's not the tires.

Oh also (afterthought) I had a 2025 Base 4dr also, with MIC top. Drove that for about 3 months, traded it for the 2 dr - who needs all those doors right? Never did actual measurements, but subjectively it was very quiet, felt exactly the same inside as my current 2dr with MIC.
