Racer, I concur with your decision. Got to drive a friend's FJ-09 for a day. Too much power for that shorter, lighter chassis. It tracks well, but the FJ-09 lacked the comfort & precision feel of the S10. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I'm 240 wo/ clothes. Always running around within 100#'s of max GVW. Got Touratech Expedition (middle grade) shock. Installed by dealer. Expensive, but worth every penny. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Shock Sox. Washed them four times. Changed at 100K/4-yrs bc they were getting faded. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

9/22-9/25: Who's going to this one? I'll be there all day Friday, 9/23, then hitting the road Sat morning. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

65 miles this morning over Angeles Crest Hwy, Wrightwood to La Canada. Resurfacing parts btwn Newcomb's & Islip Saddle. Two flagman stops, one surprise at MM 42 - Cat 12F road grader making a 3pt U-turn. My brakes work just fine, thank you. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Jabba: Thank you for running off ... . Every one of those is a major point, and to share years of experience, all in one paragraph!

Have a great Leap Year Day everyone! Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

2012 w/ 89,000 miles: Dealer did all this - adjusted valves (1 intake was barely closing, 1 exh was barely opening), R&R 2nd Gen CCT, re-sync'd left TB to right side, new air filter & new plugs. Man, does it pull strong now. Changed to 2nd Gen CCT at 52,000 mi, but it wouldn't compress to...

HBLQRider: I've got a brother from another mother living across from Granite Mtn Stables. I go from NE L.A. over I-40 & down 89 once every month or two. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

There is a well documented inverse relationship between power and reliability, not to mention maintenance costs. STen has more than enough power & torque for my purposes. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Did 22nd oil change, 8th final drive oil change, then drove it to dealer for valve adjust, TB synch & spark plugs. (88,300 mi). Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Never pressure washed either. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Entry #19 was a boo boo. Replaced frt bearings at 88,000 mi just because after busting up one of the rears. One of the old frt ones was rotating with some roughness. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Hate my 2012 too. Haven't done one thing on my to do list in three years. Been out riding too long.;) Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
