Thx for the shout out lol!
Got some beehives from Brian Tooley--don't know what they're rated at tho.

The BTR stage 3 is what your running right? Its around .550/.550 lift which is well within spec for a set of behives. Also I believe there was a manufacturing issue with the set of PACs I had fail. Hopefully BTR doesn't use the same springs. Either way I wouldn't worry to much I did get over 30k on those springs which is pretty good for anything modified.

Another rescue mission in the Tahoe. My little sister turned left on a green light, not a green arrow and pulled right out in front of a 2019 Jetta going 60mph, totalling both cars but the drivers had no injuries. She didn't have collision insurance since its a $1,500 beater so I had to go pick the car up before we racked up any more $35 a day storage fees. Trailer worked great, the harbour freight 12k winch is amazing and the Tahoe pulled it without any drama, I think its about to roll over 260k too which is cool.




Check out my Japanese lawn ornament. It can be yours for a couple hundo$$$:jester:

Oh yeah, could have been much worse! Maybe it will teach her to look harder and think twice before jumping out in front of someone. I think I can salvage some stuff off it to get some cash back and put it towards another one.

I don't think I'm that bad about high RPM I typically shift around 2,200 rpm. Although when I first got it the rev limiter was set really high I think above 7k and I rang it out a little too far a few times on accident. The failure was at idle so I doubt any high rpm caused a fracture I drove nearly 20 miles that morning gently putting to work before it failed.
