Update
It's still very fast
It sounds very lovely without the muffler. I added that due to getting pulled over and the cop yelling at me lol.
If Mr. Mike gets pulled over it wont be because of the noise... Best of luck catching up to the E30 Mr. Policeman!
Patiently awaiting auto-x update! -

Nope. In my mind, if it was fine with the old bearings in there before, it’s going to at a minimum be better with new ones.
Not that I haven't done the same, but from a manufacturing standpoint this is terrible logic.
I'm glad you get to avoid filing rings, that's a tedious task that usually requires a spare ring or two! -

12.23 seconds at 118 mph
I don't do drag racing, but this seems like a pretty solid time for something on street tires at WIR for your first event.
Time to get @suspenceful on the road with you and do some 59.99 rolls!- KaiserRolls and B C

It almost sounds like it's not getting enough air.
I think VF Engineering makes a centrifugal air pump that should help remedy this situation.....- suspenceful, patsbimmer1, Jdesign and 3 others

I love the lack of mention of the wrap (?) on an otherwise bone stock E36

Two suggestions
#1 Use rivnuts on the chassis side to bolt the core support back in with. It's handy as hell
#2 Make sure to slice things to you can remove your core support without needing to pull the fenders.
#2.5 Have a couple beers, slicing into your core support feels like it should be more calculated than it really is, and a little grinder operation lubricant never hurts.
I used a new core support because mine was bent, so I had the luxury of truly destroying it. -

Manual E46 LOLOL "Learn how to use the craigslist "MAX" filter and enjoy the piles of shit that are being sold for 500-2500.
Lol
From the actual ad, so true!
"If you are the type of person that loves to ask "What is the best price", "Is the price negotiable", "What is the minimum", "Will you take 2000 dollars less than your asking price", "Can you drive the car to me so I can see it", "Can I put 100 dollars down". Please do not bother contacting me. Learn how to use the craigslist "MAX" filter and enjoy the piles of shit that are being sold for 500-2500."

% chance I would end up stranded on the side of the highway?
Pretty low.
I gotta do another shakedown run soon before feeling 100% confident in my above statement. -
Sadly I wont end up making it to this, as much as I wanted to bring the diesel out.
It's the only weekend that worked out for everyone to get one last good bike trip in before I head out.
Sorry gents!

Because there totally is a heart reaction button! You can heart it to your hearts content!

Yes

I didn't provide much detail prior, but I typically browse FB Marketplace a time or two a week for Titans.
The plan was to move with the 2wd one, and eventually pick up a 4wd one once I got settled a bit.
I came across this one, and it was posted for 7k. I felt like it was a scam at first, but chatted with the guy a touch and set up a time to meet him.
I messaged him on Saturday and went down to check it out on Monday. Left with it for less than his asking, and I couldn't be more stoked to find a LWB Pro-4x. I think I've only seen 2 others on the Titan forums. -

I'm pushing for Pirelli to pay for my track day
That would be quite lovely!
I do look forward to your thoughts on them in more aggressive driving. -

I’m late to the party. Is this a 2wd truck?
The new one is not. Pro-4x this time

She's looking great!
I'm glad to see people trying something other than the PSS! -
160k mile update:
Fixed broken connector on diff lock position switch, and now the locking diff functions properly.
Put the under seat subwoofer from Titan V1 into Titan V2, and thanks to an aftermarket headunit that was installed in the new truck, it's a better setup all around.
Installed a driveshaft spacer to push the driveshaft back into the transfer case, this is needed due to the lift.
Put the sidesteps on from Titan V1
Put on my homemade headlights
Installed window rain guards
Fixed a sway bar end link
Replaced positive battery clamp
Put on some new wheels and tires
Old setup (KO2's from last truck on stock wheels)
Looks like it skipped leg day
New setup (35x11.5 Falken Wildpeak AT3W on some 18x9 et0 wheels)
It's been nicer to drive than the last one, and the driveshaft spacer helped cut down some low speed vibrations.
Last tank averaged 12.1 MPG (mostly all city) on the smaller tires, so she surely likes using fuel...
First bike trip with it will be soon, and I'm looking forward to that!- patsbimmer1, P_Roloff and Jdesign

I was hoping you would be there!
I suggested Mr. Veggimus speak with you / see if he could steal some of your knowledge.
