They'd look even better with the shorter, fatter meats on them, but NOOOOOO, I only got 3 of them.

And, here's what OPGI 3" drop spring and tall lower ball joints look like on the $200, crew cab Cutlass

What's in the Cutlass? Buy a 4th tire, just sayin...
 
I like how the Cutlass sits!!

The back story is that I got an email Friday saying 4 tires were delivered. I called Saturday to inquire about an alignment after installation, and they tell me only 3 were delivered. I picked up the 3, and they're spoda be shipping #4 replacement.

The Cutlass is still 3.8 CCC, but I was there to straighten up electric fan wiring. Get your head around that one! 🤣 I built door panels for 8" in each door, he hooked a bigass Rockford amp up with some take-yo-head-off piezo tweets in the dash, and it rocks.

TECH ALERT!!!!!
Was trouble shooting some noise in a Hugh Jass stereo system today. I found 2 missing grounds that were inducing noise into the stereo. This is a rewired , remote battery scenario with 1/0 on most of the runs. First, upon relocating the battery, he neglected the frame to body ground that is normally on the battery cable lead. That was creating alternator whine. Placed a 10ga from the frame to the body fixed that.
Second was an ignition tick. I haven't heard too many (any) HEI systems making noise, so I zeroed in on that. It turns out that the ground strap from the coil to the module was missing. I fashioned one up, and,BAM, no more ignition tick.


Amazon is spoda be sending a 4th tire to the house. They're actually calling for S@%W Thursday night, so that shoots my Friday install plan. AND, Amazon say the tire won't be in until Friday-Monday. They did credit me for $25, and refund the installation fee since it didn't happen.
