You need to send a email to moderators@atvconnection.com and let them know your supporting member icon hasn't popped up yet. Then, your account will be reset. Unfortunatley, can't do it any other way[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][/quote]

AAhhhhh, now I understand. When my truck was lifted and the bigger tires put on[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I lost about 4 mpg[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] So, if the price of fuel eventually gets to me[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] I'll just go back to stock[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] to improve my mileage.

Ugh. Worked for about 4 hours last night on the body lift and motor mount lift. The MML is a PITA! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Ive got one side on but i gave up for the night before i got to the other side. Im essentially replacing the motor mounts with taller ones..
