Works very well but is much too expensive. Wish you would lower the prices on these and the water filter. To replace them both cost $85.00 and this is several times a year.

Landlords will run credit on you and your rental cosigner; so will the rental cosign companies. If your rental co-signer has iffy credit, you better find a stronger cosigner. If you have a new job that pays well and the landlord doesn't care that you have little credit and employment history, they will care if your credit stinks. Know your score. It will save you a lot of pain and time if you get this situated before you rent. Some landlords will not allow a rental cosigner/guarantor -- it sucks. Move on to the next one that will. They might want an additional month's security upfront. Be prepared for that and start saving.

Castillo heading out of City
26 Aug 2008 - 07:42:39
Manchester City's Mexican forward Nery Castillo is set to leave the club, with Roma and Real Betis battling it out for his signature.
The 24-year-old has struggled to make his mark with City since joining on a season-long loan deal in January, failing to score in nine appearances.
Now he is ready to head to either Italy or Spain, as long as an agreement can be reached with parent club, Shakhtar Donetsk.
One of Castillo's agents, Juan Carlos Padilla, said: "Decisions must be made according to sporting and not financial matters.
"You have to think about where you would feel better, where you could gain more confidence. The Betis offer is very important for Nery because he will be an important player there."
However, another of Castillo's representatives, Gianluca Marino, later claimed: "Roma have more than one target and Castillo could be one of those. The Spaniards are waiting, but Nery said he wants to play in Italy.
"He wants the Giallorossi because they are a prestigious side and because he thinks he would fit in well in Luciano Spalletti's formation."

Apparently the Nationwide Tour event held the past four years at Whirlwind Golf Club near Chandler will be played in 2005, with a change in name pending.
The PGA Tour released its Nationwide schedule last week, and the former Gila River Classic was replaced on the schedule by the Arizona Desert Championship on Oct. 3-9. The site was listed as Phoenix, followed by the words "to be determined."
Tony Sokolowski, the executive director of the sponsoring Boys and Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Phoenix, said Arizona Desert Championship may or may not be the new name of the tournament.
"It's not exact yet, but we know it will not be the Gila River Classic," said Sokolowski, referring to the former corporate sponsor, Gila River Resort and Casino, which did not re-sign after funding the tournament since 2001.
"The new name will probably have the new title sponsor's name in it, or it will be the Arizona Desert Championship presented by a corporate entity. We're just not sure yet."
Sokolowski said the venue also is not set in stone, although "It will probably be at Whirlwind."
"We have explored some other sites (in the East Valley), like Talking Stick and Grayhawk," Sokolowski said. "There really are not a lot of options, because most golf courses could not handle the tournament and would not be approved by the PGA Tour.
"Whirlwind we're familiar with; we know where everything is, we know where the volunteers go, and the setup is pretty good with the resort there. But it's not 100 percent that we will be back at Whirlwind."
Selection of a title sponsor is getting closer though, Sokolowski said. "I think we'll have something in the next month or so, hopefully before Christmas. And I think it's going to be good news. We do have some potential people in mind."
But Sokolowski was not sure whether there will be one big deal, like the Boys and Girls Clubs had with Gila River Resort and Casino, or a pool of sponsors,
like the FBR-Phoenix Open had during 2002 and '03.
"We would not have told the (PGA) Tour to keep the dates for us if we didn't feel we could pull it off," Sokolowski said. "So one way or another, it's going to go."
Television, however, is another matter. There are 31 tournaments on the 2005 Nationwide schedule, but The Golf Channel will only televise 16 of them. Chances are, the Arizona Desert Championship will not be one of them.
"That has not been our priority," Sokolowski admitted. "Just keeping the tournament alive has been the focus. We'll worry about TV later."
The 2005 schedule includes events in 21 states and five countries — Panama, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the United States. Total prize money will be $15.6 million, with the Arizona Desert Championship purse listed as $475,000. The only tournament besides the Phoenix stop that needs to be worked out is the season-ending Nationwide Tour Championship, which has a date but not a site.
It had been played on the Robert Trent Jones Trail in Alabama.

16 x 8 enduro's on 09' sport taco will they fit?
Hello: Any advice on these wheels clearing my sport 09'? I want to go to the 16" wheel to get more tire under the vehicle at a lower cost, not to mention there are more options here. I also think the 16" rims just look like they fit the size of the truck more then the 17". The enduro's have the proper backspacing and offset and they say they will fit the 08's, but I read somewhere that the 09's have larger brake calipers. Any thoughts would be great?
Thanx. Rob |
Do the sports have larger calipers? Im in the market for the 16in machined enduros. I have an 08 SR5, not the sport or off road.
I ordered my Enduros in mid May and they finally come in this Thursday (6-25-09)
I think it was worth the wait.:D |
I actually got mine in yesterday and finally did a test fit. I got the 16x8, 0mm offset and 4.5 in BS (which is the same as the Mojave's everyone seems to run) There is only about 1/32 to 1/16 of an inch between the wheel and the caliper. I really dont wanna chop up the truck and dont wanna use wheel spacers like spidertraxx. With this tiny clearance, can i still run the wheels safely without damaging anything??? Here are some pica of the wheel on the truck. The pics suck (they are from my iphone) but you can kinda see how close the calipers are. The wheel spins though.
[IMG]http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/n...2/IMG_0032.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/n...2/IMG_0029.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/n...2/IMG_0033.jpg[/IMG] |
So I guess you never gopt an answere to your question?Did they fit ok with such small clearance?

Big Sur goes gate to wire in Majestic Light S.
click here for larger
Malibu Moon's Big Sur took command right from the start and held off all challengers to give the 5-year-old his first career stakes victory in Saturday's $75,000 Majestic Light S. at Monmouth Park.
Trained by Ramon Moya and ridden by his son Ramon, Big Sur set a solid pace of :47.03 seconds for the half mile on a sloppy racetrack. Up a length and a half at that point, Spring Hill Farm was giving chase, but could no closer than a length for the rest of the trip. Big Sur ultimately came home a length and a quarter winner, getting the mile and 70 yards in 1:42.01.
"The owner gave me this horse about two months ago," said the winning trainer. "He's been training great and we thought we would take our shot here. We were going to the lead no matter what. Speed had been doing well all day. He set some quick fractions, so he didn't steal it, he had to earn it."
Owned by Kasey K Racing & Brier Creek Farm LLC's, Big Sur sports a record of 5-5-9 from 28 starts. He has earned $209,139.
Bred in Kentucky by Bobby Trussell, Big Sur is out of the top-class broodmare St Lucinda, who has produced American H. (G2) winner Mananan McLir, as well as stakes winners Charming N Lovable and Sandra's Rose.
Malibu Moon is the only sire in 2013 with North American progeny earnings in excess of $5 million, led of course by Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Orb, who will make his next start in the June 8 Belmont S. (G1). Malibu Moon's runners have accounted for 11 stakes wins this year, also tops on the General Sire list.

Traditional Mexican street ensemble. The performer, the musical style, and the musical ensemble are called mariachi. Mariachi music emerged in the late 1700s or early 1800s. In the 19th century, mariachi bands consisted solely of stringed instruments, including the guitar, the guitarrón (a large fretless six-string bass guitar), and the vihuela (a guitarlike stringed instrument); since the1920s the ensembles have generally included violins and trumpetsnow more or less essential elementsand often other wind instruments as well. Initially mariachi music was strictly instrumental, but it has come to include vocal elements.

Cheat CodesActivate the following cheats by entering the corresponding codes: |
Quick winIn the first period, attack the opposing team and hope for fatalities. Enable the mdmksb to recharge your health if needed. If you kill everyone on the opposing team and have more points than them, you will instantly win no matter what period you are in. If there is a Killball Charger, use it since it rarely causes an injury. Injured players return after the period and dead ones are gone. You have a great chance of causing death by electrocution. |


text: I wasn't going to weigh myself. But i'm up 8 pounds just this week. I'm surprised it wasn't more like 15 tbh. I guess thee was a few days of dieting in there. Back to where I was a few months ago in one fatal week. Very depressing. Anyway I need some time to myself. I am extremely depressed and going through something tramatic right now. When I get over this mourning and crying maybe I'll hop on. My liver is already back to hurting and I just feel yucky and nauseas and back to constipation and painful anal fissures so back to chugging my miralax. My tummy is so dang sensitive. I don't know why I felt like posting this. Punishing myself perhaps. Maybe I can get back on the wagon through my depression. We'll see. So embarrasing. Dh just told his mom i lost 30 pounds and now I've already gained a third back. I feel like a loser but right now I wanna crawl into a hole too much to go on. Hey, maybe I will only feel like this for a few days. The thought of it taking a few months to lose this weight i gained in two weeks is not very... motivating.

Sandston woman earns Habitat home
Staff members from Richmond Metropolitan Habitat for Humanity joined with representatives from Capital One and other sponsors Oct. 23 to dedicate the newly constructed Habitat house on Algiers Street in Sandston. Chevelle Athey, a single mother of six children who works full-time for the Virginia Department of Taxation, will move into the home with her family within a few weeks. The new home was built from the ground up using hundreds of volunteers, and was sponsored by several local businesses in addition to Capital One, including Richmond International Forest Products, The Community Foundation Serving Richmond & Central Virginia, Genworth Financial and Allianz. Among in-kind donors were James River Air Conditioning, Riverside Brick & Supply Co., Eidson Concrete, Allied Concrete, Bass Crane Service, and the Richmond Council of Garden Clubs. Gordon and Judith Angles (looking on, as Athey cuts the ribbon, above) donated the property. The Atheys have been living in substandard conditions in a rental home that smells of sewage in the summer, and some of the children have acquired health issues. In preparation for moving into the new home, Chevelle Athey has attended mandatory homeownership and financial literacy courses as well as completing 350 hours of "sweat equity" volunteering at the Habitat ReStore and helping to build her own home. |

Today, Cloud 9 Adventures announces Panic en la Playa Tres, the third installment of Widespread Panic's ever-popular musical adventure in paradise.
The venerable Widespread Panic has announced the May 28 release of the 3-disc set Oak Mountain 2001 Night 1, their 8th multi-track release from the Widespread Panic Archives Series. Recorded at the Oak Mountain Amphitheatre in Pelham, AL on July 27, 2001, Oak Mountain 2001 Night 1 is the first night of three sold out performances that feature all six original band members: John Bell, Michael Houser, Todd Nance, John Hermann, Domingo Ortiz and Dave Schools.
I'm coming up on my fourth Wakarusa, and it's hard to put into words exactly what I'm the most excited about because I just come into the festival KNOWING I'm going to have a great time. Each and every year the festival grows, and I can't wait to see what all is on-site for the 10th festival, taking place on Mulberry Mountain in Ozark, Ark. May 30 to June 2.
Here are the top five things you can expect from the festival:
1. Classics from your favorite artists
During the early 1990s while growing up in middle America I was making the transformation from teenager to adult. My personal changes were not unlike what the country in general was going through. The awkward years of George Bush gave way to the prosperous reign of President Clinton. During this time there was another interesting transition going on in popular music and culture. The dominant days of hair metal bands were fading (like my stone-washed jeans), and the glam gave way to grunge which ushered in a new era of rock n' roll.
The 2013 Wanee Music Festival at the bucolic Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park (SOSMP) in Live Oak, FL radiated positive, feel good energy while feeding all present a delicious feast of melodies. Florida did its best to provide every weather possibility from hot sunshine and torrential downpours to downright chilly nights.
Just a week before Mulberry Mountain in Ozark, Arkansas is stormed with wild country music fans for the Thunder on the Mountain music festival, the same valley will be filled with the likes of us: hippies, high-fivers, costumed, raging, party-hardy music lovers. Wakarusa. It's coming and it's going to be better than last year. IT'S THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY for god's sake!
Wakarusa just released their daily music schedule featuring a knock-out double-bill headliner performing each night of the 4-day festival including The Black Crowes and STS9 on Thursday, Umphrey's McGee
It was four days of continuous music not interrupted one bit by a rain storm that lasted into the night Friday when the 9th Annual Wanee Music Festival returned to The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park (SOSMP) in Live Oak, Fla where the artists that can be described as the royalty of music perform.
Announcing the Performance Schedule for the 2013 Wanee Music Festival, Wednesday April 17th through Saturday April 20th at the Spirit of Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, FL. The Allman Brothers Band along with Widespread Panic, playing both Friday and Saturday Nights, headline a great line-up of outstanding performers for what is fast becoming one of the most pop
The countdown has begun for this summer's most exciting and anticipated festival, Wakarusa 2013. Wakarusa will again take place at its annual location at Mulberry Mountain in the Ozark National Forest, May 30-June 2.

Short Film Of The Day: Jason Reitman's 'Consent'
Features By Scott Beggs on December 6, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhy Watch? Good old Jason Reitman has another movie coming out this week, and it just so happens that I stumbled upon one of his early short films – one I fell in love with years ago and only recently realized the name behind it. This dry, hilarious movie delivers the standard (often wordless) negotiation that happens whenever two people get back to the bedroom after a great first date. It just delivers it in a bizarre, strangely sensible way. Go grab a Notary, and don't even think about Article 20. What does it cost? Just 5 minutes of your time. Check out Consent for yourself:
8 Promised Movies That Still Haven't Been Made (and Might Never Be)
Cinematic Listology By Scott Beggs on November 16, 2011 | Comments (114)Every bit of movie news has to be taken with a fistful of salt. With so many moving parts, even the biggest players in the game sometimes see their work fall into the tall grass of development hell. That's the bad news. The good news is that all of those times you shake your fist at a new project (be it remake or reboot) are warranted, but they don't always get made. Sometimes, the stuff we're dreading goes down in flames too. So it's with that bittersweet spirit that we look back on a few announced projects that still haven't been made. And might never be.
Check Out All Six 'Young Adult' Pop Up Screening Posters
Movie News By Kate Erbland on November 3, 2011 | Be the First To CommentFor the past few weeks, director Jason Reitman and screenwriter Diablo Cody have quietly been bringing special "pop up screenings" of their new collaboration, Young Adult, to small arthouse theaters across the country (and Canada!). Invites were scarce, but those who were quick enough (and savvy enough) to get into one of six screenings was treated to a first look at the film, a special Q&A with its makers and stars, and a unique poster to take home with them. I was lucky enough to get into this week's Los Angeles pop up screening at the New Beverly, during which Reitman trotted out Cody, Charlize Theron, Patton Oswalt, and Elizabeth Reaser for a pre-screening introduction and a post-screening Q&A. While it's been widely speculated as to why Reitman didn't take Young Adult on a more traditional festival jaunt (which he's previously done for his biggest hits), the director himself explained it simply, he wanted to take the film on its very own festival route, picking cities and venues that fit the film. To add to that festival atmosphere, each pop up screening got its own specially crafted poster, made by a local artist and distributed to the audience at each screening. Young Adult is a departure for Reitman and Cody, shunting aside the sunniness of their previous collaboration Juno for a much darker (and deeper) tale of female maturity gone totally wrong. After the break, check out all six posters for each of the pop up screenings, each taking a different […]
Olivia Wilde and Steve Buscemi May Join the Ever-Expanding Cast of 'Burt Wonderstone'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on November 1, 2011 | Be the First To CommentFor a while there, whenever somebody talked about the upcoming comedy about dueling magicians, Burt Wonderstone, it was often just viewed as the next starring vehicle for Steve Carell. He's long been attached to the lead role of an aging illusionist whose less than fresh magic act has lost its steam. The questions of who would play the flashier, younger magician who takes his place in the hearts and minds of magic fans, or who some of the other characters would be, never seemed to get much attention. But once the movie got a director and another re-write, it became time to start filling out the rest of the cast. And they've been doing a pretty bang-up job so far. Big names like Jim Carrey and James Gandolfini have been mentioned as negotiating for the film, and at this point are assumed to be on board. Carrey will play the flashier magician to Carell's outdated dud, and Gandolfini is said to be playing a casino owner. And now, joining those names are a couple more actors that you might have heard of: sex symbols Olivia Wilde and Steve Buscemi. Wilde is negotiating to play the role of Carell's love interest (yeah, right!), a magician's assistant who bounces back and forth between his character and Carrey's. And Buscemi is negotiating to play Carell's long-time partner, who ends up quitting the act.
Charlize Theron Doesn't Grow Up in Trailer for 'Young Adult'
Movie News By Kate Erbland on October 6, 2011 | Comments (1)In a post-Juno world, director Jason Reitman and screenwriter Diablo Cody have re-teamed for a much darker spin on inappropriate maturity levels and their inevitable consequences. Whereas their hamburger phone-chatting, bon mot-spouting teen Juno was almost too mature for her own good, their latest heroine is undoubtedly too immature to even be considered a real adult. In Young Adult, Charlize Theron plays Mavis Gary, a YA author who has much more in common emotionally and intellectually with her characters than she does with anyone her actual age. Mavis heads back to her small hometown, still gorgeous as ever, but with a real chip on her shoulder (to put it mildly). Mavis wants her high school sweetheart back (Patrick Wilson), and she doesn't care if he's married, and she doesn't care if she's a real bitch to everyone else, and she just…well, she just doesn't care. Check out the first trailer for Young Adult after the break, with bonus Patton Oswalt as one of Mavis' former classmates who is also a bit stuck in the past.
Interview: J.K. Simmons Talks Nonstop Work and Being a Team Player
Features By Jack Giroux on August 19, 2011 | Be the First To CommentJ.K. Simmons is a worker, or as he calls it, a "journeyman actor." The J.K. Simmonses of the world feature epic sized filmographies, even for an individual year. In 2009 alone, the actor appeared in 10 movies. Most were small parts, but 10 movies? He's a busy man. One would think with that type of work ethic, Simmons would be an actor that cared more about the checks than the quality of the work. From speaking with the character actor, that didn't seem to be the case. Simmons has, finally, got a starring role film under his belt — recently, anyway — that we can see. The Music Never Stopped (out now on DVD) is one of those small, non-cynical, heart-string yanking dramas. It's a father/son story, so if you're sucker for daddy issue movies, this one's for you, kid. Here's what actor J.K. Simmons had to say about appearing in nearly everything, being Jason Reitman's good luck charm, and naturally working off of Diablo Cody-isms:
Jason Reitman's 'Young Adult' Not Going the Festival Route
Movie News By Kate Erbland on July 30, 2011 | Comments (1)It used to be that shilling your film at a festival meant you were some scrappy up-and-comer who needed a break (or, at the very least, a hot shower). But as festivals have gotten bigger and more dazzling (any event that serves free Stella Artois is dazzling by its very nature), bigger name filmmakers have used them as launching pads for new projects. Jason Reitman is a prime example of this – he premiered both Juno and Up in the Air at the Telluride Film Festival and took them on to Toronto to pump up buzz so that cinephiles everywhere were primed when they finally hit theaters. Did it work? Heck yes it did. So it seemed a bit of a no-brainer that Reitman would bring his next collaboration with Juno scribe Diablo Cody to Telluride and then TIFF. Apparently, not so. Young Adult won't make an appearance on the festival route this year, and though there's nothing I love more than needless negative speculation and crying that a festival non-appearance or a release date change means that a film is a flaming brown bag of excrement, that may not be the case with Young Adult. As those eggheads over at The Playlist note, the film "is decidedly darker and much different than what we've seen from Reitman before." The film stars Charlize Theron as a novelist who writes young adult fiction, who heads back to her small town to hook her high school sweetheart, played by Patrick Wilson. It's […]
Movie News After Dark: Walking Dead, Mad Men on Netflix, Ant-Man and a History of Titles
Movie News By Neil Miller on July 27, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly movie news and link collection column that is running late, but it's not sorry about it. Tonight it went to see Cowboys & Aliens, which was a lot of fun. So deal with it. As you know, it is always worth the wait, baby. We begin tonight with the first look at Blake Lively and Chloe Moretz in Hick, which was released as part of the Toronto International Film Festival laying down its Gala and Special Presentation line-up. Lively is a drifter, Moretz is a runaway and in this scene, they're moving quickly away from something. Perhaps its Lively's cinematic career thus far. Someone should tell her there's no escaping that wooden performance in Green Lantern.
Jason Reitman Will Work His Magic on Steve Carell Comedy 'Burt Wonderstone'
Movie News By Nathan Adams on June 17, 2011 | Be the First To CommentJason Reitman has been a pretty successful director. His last two features alone, Juno and Up in the Air, got him tons of attention during awards season. Not surprisingly, he has another high profile project coming up. It's an adaptation of Joyce Maynard's novel Labor Day, and it's got a couple big names rumored to star in Kate Winslett and Josh Brolin. But before he does that, Reitman is set to spend a couple weeks doing something that he's never done before, work as a script doctor. New Line is bringing him in to give the script for their upcoming comedy Burt Wonderstone a once over. Wonderstone is a comedy about rival magicians working in Las Vegas. Steve Carell has been attached to star as the aging magician who is being shown up by a flashy young upstart, and recently, television veteran Charles McDougall has been signed up to be the director. It seemed to me that with those two elements in place, the project was ready to move forward, but apparently there are a few kinks that the studio feels need to be worked out first. The script for this one has been bouncing around at some level of production for years. The original draft was written by a guy named Chad Kultgen. For the past couple years writers John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, who also worked together on the upcoming Horrible Bosses, have been the names associated with it. That would make Reitman the fourth name involved […]
Movie News After Dark: Green Lantern, Green Muppets, Hobbit Voices, Ouija and More Green Lantern
Movie News By Neil Miller on June 16, 2011 | Comments (2)What is Movie News After Dark? It's an obsessively curated column that collects the most interesting links from around the movie blogosphere. It includes a bit of commentary, but only when the mood strikes. Which, for the purposes of this column's author, is all the time. Gird your loins and put on your power rings, because it's about to get wild in here. Getting ready to see Green Lantern this weekend? Our review will be live tomorrow. But if you need a primer before then, I would defer you to io9's very thorough beginner's guide to Green Lantern. It should bring you up to speed just in time to become angry about whether or not the film is faithful.
Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin Will Work On 'Labor Day' For Jason Reitman
Casting Couch By Scott Beggs on June 16, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThere's a ton of Oscar caliber piled high on Labor Day – the adaptation of the Joyce Maynard novel. Its plot asks the high concept question of what you'd do if you were approached by a mean-mugging, bleeding man while out shopping with your young teenager. The correct answer is, "run," but the answer that divorcee Adele gives is, "offer him a ride in my car!" Bad life decision. Great set up for a thriller. Jason Reitman is directing, and EW is reporting that Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin have both signed on to star as Adele and the mean-mugging escaped convict respectively. Feel free to count the Oscar nominations and wins for yourself. The wins should be easy. With Young Adult already in production, Reitman is definitely exploring the concept of divorce seriously, but it's also nice to see him branch out into a new genre. This stark thriller will make an interesting double feature with Juno. Winslet is no stranger to characters living in broken homes, and Brolin could let his mustache show up to set and garner another Oscar nomination. The point? This casting is insanely great and promises to continue Reitman's winning streak. It will start filming next year in New England.
Movie News After Dark: Apes Will Rise, Jackman Will Hunt and Human Centipede: The Musical
Movie News By Neil Miller on April 6, 2011 | Comments (6)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly column about movie news. It will not try to sew your face to someone else's butt. It will, however, make your hind quarters sore. So give yourself over to it — it will be gentle, at first. Fox's upcoming Planet of the Apes prequel, previously titled Rise of the Apes, has been retitled to give it that ole' familiar ring. It will now be called Rise of the Planet of the Apes, which should hold until they can figure out a less concise way to title it. Either way, it's got James Franco, so I'm seeing it.
J.K. Simmons Re-Teaming with Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody
Casting Couch By Scott Beggs on March 14, 2011 | Comments (1)At a certain point, you get a streak going and you have to keep honoring it no matter what. Usually that situation leads to making House Party VIII, but fortunately for fans, Jason Reitman's particular streak involves hiring J.K. Simmons for his movies. Coming Soon is reporting that Simmons will be providing the voice over for Young Adult, Reitman's next film from screenwriter Diablo Cody. The cast already includes Charlize Theron as a writer who returns to her roots to find ex-love Patrick Wilson has got a wife and children. So she stalks him. All the pieces are lining up, and it goes without saying that Simmons is a brilliant acting talent, so we'll have to see if Young Adult continues Reitman's other streak: getting Oscar nominations.
Josh Brolin May Be Charlize Theron's Old Flame for Reitman's 'Young Adult'
Casting Couch By Scott Beggs on August 12, 2010 | Comments (1)As if news that Jason Reitman was re-teaming with Diablo Cody wasn't good enough, and as if Charlize Theron joining as the star didn't cap it off, recent word is that Josh Brolin might be following up his 19 films in 2010 by co-starring for Young Adult. In the story that focuses on Charlize Theron's divorcee author returning to her home town (what a classic trope) to reconnect with her now-married former love, Brolin may just be the married object of her affection. As per Reitman's contract with Hollywood, the film will be nominated for Best Picture. [Showbiz 411]
Reitman Buys 'Elliot Allagash' Rights for Right of Way
In Development By Scott Beggs on June 23, 2010 | Be the First To CommentWith so many rights, how could this be wrong? The Oscar-nominated director plans to produce (at least) a prep school satire where a young loser is taken under the wing of the kid with the longest rap sheet in school.
How excited am I to be attending a reparatory screening of an unsung horror film at SXSW? If you're at all familiar with the articles I typically write for FSR, then the answer is self-evident. If you are lucky enough to have never read anything of mine, let me just say that this experience made me feel like Dr. Jones in the Egyptian desert realizing that the Nazis were digging in the wrong place.
Best Director is a tricky category with, like many awards bestowed at the Oscars, a questionable track record. Venerated filmmakers like Hitchcock, Kubrick, and Altman, for instance, never won the award. While it's arguably impossible to objectively compare different works of art, Best Director is an especially elusive and subjective category that forces one to compare apples to oranges, especially with this year's nominees.
Oscar Breakdown: Best Original and Adapted Screenplays
Academy Awards By Rob Hunter on March 4, 2010 | Comments (8)It's Academy Awards time again, and even though we all know the awards are basically an irrelevant exercise in mutual masturbation it's still fun to watch. This year sees a wide variety of films gain entry into Oscar history via nominations for Best Screenplay, Original and Adapted. Some deserve the honor, while others are based on the novel "Push" by Sapphire.
Studios have been afraid for too long. It's time to put Palahniuk's long, strange trip into the heart of American commercialism and religion on the big screen.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Proof that style trumps size. There's no dance floor, so the tables do double duty as bottle service and platforms for female patrons who can't resist the urge. Although more of a dress code should be enforced to match the sexy, futuristic interior by designer Jeffrey Beers, don't let that stop you from dolling up—especially since the intimate size of the place makes it easy to meet people. And if you're tired of incessant hip-hop, you'll be delighted to know that the DJs favor deep, soulful house over trendy club hits (except for Sunday, which is, in fact, hip-hop night).
Open Thursdays through Mondays from 10 pm.

Portland: Largest U.S. city with openly gay mayor
Sam Adams, 45, was sworn into office as Portland's mayor at 12:01 a.m. Thursday at City Hall. It made Portland, population estimated at 575,000, the largest city in the nation to elect an openly gay mayor.
The Associated Press
PORTLAND — Two months ago, Sam Adams, a Portland city commissioner and the mayor-elect, rallied a crowd of gay-rights activists as part of a national series of protests against California's new ban on same-sex marriage.
Speaking into a bullhorn, he urged the protesters to continue pushing for legal same-sex marriage in all 50 states, but he urged them not to embark that day on an unauthorized march.
"This community is watching us, the nation is watching us," he said. "They are going to judge us for what we do today, and today we do not have a permit to march — not because the city won't let us but because this happened so quickly we couldn't get the paperwork in."
The crowd laughed at the not-so-frequent moment when Adams' political activism and his municipal role crossed paths. Adams smiled.
Adams, 45, was sworn into office at 12:01 a.m. Thursday at City Hall. It made Portland, population estimated at 575,000, the largest city in the nation to elect an openly gay mayor.
Seven months ago, he won with 58 percent of the vote in a primary race against a travel-agency owner and other, less well known, candidates. That meant he didn't have to run in a November runoff election.
He didn't campaign on gay rights or social issues. "I'm running not to be a gay mayor, but a great mayor," he said.
None of Adams' opponents raised his sexuality in the race. Neither did he.
"This is a testament to how fair-minded Portlanders are that it wasn't an issue," Adams said. "I spend my time on the basic issues of life. A part of that includes equal rights, but that's not even close to a majority of the time."
Gay, lesbian candidates
Adams was one of more than 100 gay, lesbian and bisexual candidates running for federal, state and local offices endorsed earlier this year by the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, a Washington, D.C., group whose aim is to increase the number of openly gay elected officials.
Denis Dison, the organization's spokesman, said 80 of the candidates won, including 33-year-old entrepreneur Jared Polis, of Boulder, Colo., who in November became the first openly gay man to win a seat in Congress as a nonincumbent candidate.
Another candidate the group endorsed was Oregon state Sen. Kate Brown, who describes herself as bisexual. She will become Oregon's second-ranking state official when she is sworn in as secretary of state.
Large population
She was also, Dison noted, the only winning candidate among the handful the group endorsed for statewide offices. Most winning candidates endorsed by the organization run in local contests — but none of the local candidates represents a population so large as Portland's.
"Obviously this was one of our marquee accomplishments this year," Dison said. "To have an entire community elect a gay man and have people say, 'You're going to represent me,' is a pretty huge thing."
Adams is a longtime City Hall insider, from his years as chief of staff to Mayor Vera Katz on through his election to the city commission.
He was born in Butte, Mont., and before he started school, his family moved to coastal Newport where his father, a high-school basketball coach, tried his hand at being a commercial fisherman.
As a University of Oregon student, Adams got his first government job as an intern for the Lane County commissioners.
Not much later in 1986, he became the spokesman for the first congressional campaign of Rep. Peter DeFazio, who still represents southwest Oregon's 4th District.
Adams remembers that he was passionate about DeFazio's candidacy, but the campaign couldn't pay him enough to make ends meet. So he made the campaign office his home for six months, storing his futon in a closet.
DeFazio remembers Adams during that campaign as an eager spokesman whose first attempt at a news conference was a bust. One reporter attended, DeFazio said, leaving Adams down but not defeated.
In two weeks, the city plans to announce a job-stimulus package, he said, though he declined to give details.
"What I've found is in each of those recessions is government falls prey to the national frailty," he said. "What's also frustrating is it's happening at the very time when government is needed most."
Adams grew up in a working-class household that he said was at times dependent on food stamps and subsidized housing. Just as being a gay man drives much of his political activism, he said, his working-class background influences his ambitions as mayor.
"My passions for public service includes promoting social-justice equality for all, but it obviously also includes finding good jobs for people, which is also part of my family's background of not being able to always have economic security," he said. "Being gay is part of me, so is being Irish American, so is being from a small Oregon town."

I love this set, I am going to buy this again sooner rather than later because I have been wearing these each day since I bought this and am addicted. I really like the quality of the gloss and they are absolutely gorgeous!! I wear the colored shades alone or mixed w/Star (the white pearly one) for a lighter shade. These do not dry my lips. I do have to reapply but I think these wear beautifully.

Lift: 2" coil spacers Shocks: Rancho RS9000XL SYE/CVD: N/A Tires/Wheels: BFG All-Terrain 31x10.5x15 on Generic Matte Black Alloy Wheels (15xnot sure) Likes: I am the 6th (gasp!) owner of my Jeep. The 4th owner built it up a bit. There were Pro Comp ES3000 shocks on the front and either stock or some brand that I am not aware of on the back. 2 days ago, I upgraded the shocks to the Rancho RS9000XL's. Oh, Dear, Lord. Hard to explain the improvement in ride. All driving has been on road, but I've been telling people that I've gone from a bucking bronco to a civilized ride. Best money I've ever spent. Dis-likes: The previous owner put on the coil spacers, which is not ideal. I'd like to get some 2" OME springs sometime in the near future. Would You Recommend: Um, hell yes. There is a magazine called "Overland Journal" that did a comparison test of the big players in off-road aftermarket shocks including my Rancho's, Old Man Emu, Bilstein, and Fox as well as a couple others that escape me at the moment. The Rancho's were the hands down winner of the test having won nearly ever category measured. That's what sold me on these shocks as well as their adjustability. By the way, I have them set at 5, the middle setting, per the Overland Journal recommendation. I have not been off-road with them yet, but if the on-road quality is any indication, I'm sure they will do splendidly. |

I purchased a ProComp 2inch lift with shocks and springs about four months ago. This lift kit comes with Es3000 shocks. After installation I ended up with a little over 3 inches in the back and had to add a .75 spacer in the front to try and level it out. What I thought would be a budget minded small lift was not cheap. The shocks that come with it (Es3000) are sh*^ and three inches of lift caused drive line vibration and I had to buy a 1in TC drop fro Teraflex to get buy until I can afford an SYE. I returned the es3000 shocks to 4WP and bought Pro-runner shocks. Unfortunately 5100s were on back order. I am now very pleased with the ride of my jeep as it is comfortable enough to drive every day. Tires are 32x11.5r15 bfgs. |

I also have the rough country 2.5" lift that came with progressive rate springs, shocks and skid plate drop. I upgraded to jks disconnects and adjustable front track bar. After I did the track bar there was a bit more. Articulation off-road and. Little better ride quality. Would recommend anti-rock sway bar from currie Pros: has a great ride very smooth off-road fairly easy to install had good directions for install and great customer service. Cons: don't like the shocks I have replaced the shocks at least 3 times because of failures. Ride quality from the shocks isn't the greatest would go with rancho adjustable. Skid plate drop cause the transfer case lever to squeak so got rid of it put a MML 1" lift in from browndog. |

LIFT: Clayton Pro Series 4-link rear, 3- link front. Rear axle truss and front axle bridge and Johnny Joints on all ends. 3.5" Metalcloak dual rate coils rear and Fox coilovers front for ~4" of total lift. SHOCKS: 10" Fox coilovers on the front, 12" Fox remote reservoirs in the rear, outboarded. SYE/CVD: Rubicon, so no SYE. Tom Woods driveshaft, cut to fit. TIRES/WHEELS: 35" MTR/K tires, Hutchinson Rock Monster 15" beadlock wheels. Likes: All the articulation I can throw at it. Definitely room in the long control arms to grow in to larger tires. Comfortable ride on-road and off-road. Excellent climbing and descent off-road Dis-Likes: Lower control arms dragged on an obstacle. Has only happened twice in nearly 2 yrs though. Installation required cutting off stock mounts and clearancing transfer case skid to weld new frame side control arm brackets. Would You Recommend: Yes, for 35 inch tires or larger. Picture(s): Here's a shot of the full kit installed |

Currie 3in Lift Currie Lift (only saw one other in the thread to date) LIFT: Currie 3 in progressive springs, Upr &Lwr Currie arms, front/rear Currie track bars, SHOCKS: Bilstein 5100s SYE/CVD: Advanced Adapters SYE Kit, Tom Woods CV driveshaft TIRES/WHEELS: Wrangler Armortrac 265/70-R16 (31 x 10.5), Pro Comp 1069-6865 16x8 Likes: The ride- both on and off road.Soft enough to smooth out the rough bumpy road yet firm enough to handle the trails I play on.To me my TJ now flows over rough road sections rather than shake over them as it did stock. Dis-likes: Zerk fittings on the arms- had to replace some that leaked. Tires are really great for the road but if I had to do it over again, theyd be a bit bigger with more aggressive tread.So far no problem off road, but not a lot of confidence. Definitely recommended! - Its a bit pricey but my experience has been you get what you pay for.I did when I got my Currie lift.No disappointments. |

I have had my 4 inch short arm lift kit on for almost 10k and have loved every second of it! My rigs setup now: -4 Inch Pro Comp Short Arm Lift Kit -ES3000 Shocks -35x12.50 Pro Comp MT2's -JB conversions super short SYE -Tom Woods rear shaft -Currie rear upper adjustable control arms -Currie heavy duty Johnny joint front track bar Pros- lift kit comes with almost everything you need from tubular lower control arms, front and rear sway bar links, rear track bar bracket and all related hardware as well as front and rear shocks. Also, has hardware needed for t case drop but recommend getting SYE and rear shaft all in one shot and be done with it. Driving with t case drop was a pain in the arse popping out of gear sometimes. Cons- ES3000 shocks are not the best but will do for now. I highly recommend this lift kit to anyone who isn't trying to spend a grand or more for a four inch lift. It's not the smoothest ride but hey some ppl like it a little rough |

Lift: 2" BDS 4 Springs & 4 5500 Shocks Price: 394.90 w/ Free Shipping Kit was an easy install. I fallowed the directions except for un bolting the upper control arms. dprings went in eady after track bars were unbolted. Except for one bent shock and a couple stripped bolts but apparently thats a normal thing. And Pb Blaster works miracles. CONS: None so far. PROS: Easy install. So far the ride is smoother than stock even though the springs are new. I would recomend this kit any day of the week. And I'll give an update a few months from now. |

2.5" RC Lift Kit Review 2006 Sport Rough Country 2.5" Lift Kit. The kit included new coil springs, 2.2 performance shocks, 2.2 steering stabilizer, and a rear track bar relocation bracket. I am not a mechanic so I am learning as I complete these projects. This was a challenge for me. 03/ 10/2014-Post Mortem on the lift install: I got my Jeep back from the alignment shop today. They told me the front axle is 1/2 inch off center, but they were able to align the front end. This took care of the vibration I was experiencing. Mostly an adjustment to the tow of the front tires, no new parts needed. Rough Country told me this would not damage my vehicle. It goes down the road straight with no vibration at 65 MPH. After the install I put two new u joints in the rear drive shaft and that took care of the "feel it in your seat" vibration. I did not have to drop the transfer case. The RC 2.5" Lift Sway Bar Quick Discos, at the factory suggested 10.25" length, do not line up with the supplied disconnected storage brackets, they do however supply better cornering and a more stable ride on pavement than the factory ones. They come with two different mounting options and neither lined up. No big deal. The RC 2.2 Steering Stabilizer is considerably better than the factory equipment. General Assessment: The vehicle rides much different, I like it, it is a much stiffer suspension, but may relax over time. The lift also did something I didn't even think about. The lift allows more air to pass under the vehicle on the highway. This creates "buffeting" wind resistance and on windy days it can be a little squirrelly. I have not had the opportunity to test the articulation of the front axle as we still have 5 feet of snow covering everything. I would recommend this kit to others with the suggestions below. Link to you tube vid below. Suggestions: A) I hope you have friends. I don't have any friends that are into this Jeep thing so I did it alone. Trying to set the springs and hold the axles down was very difficult. B) Get the adjustable front track bar. C) Properly prep your vehicle, power wash the undercarriage and soak the living shit out of every bolt your going to touch with BP Blaster or Liquid Wrench at least overnight. D) If your new at this like me, invest in good tools, the impact wrench I bought got me through this. YouTube |

Lift : Rubicon Express SuperFlex - adjustable upper and lower control arms - front and rear adjustable track bars. Prothane 1" body lift. Springs : RE 3.5" SYE/DS : Advanced Adapters SYE , Tom Woods CV drive shaft Shocks : Fox Remote Reservoir 2.0 Tires: 35" General Grabbers PROS - Complete kit, includes everything needed for a smooth install. Everything bolted up nicely and seems quality built. The lift is height is perfect and really lands you over 4". I paired this with the 1" body lift to insure tire clearance and for additional upgrades down the road. Very happy with the flex, it articulates very well and has proved more than capable for my offroad needs. CONS - Only one to speak of. As others have stated these are some very stiff springs. I feel evry nook and cranny in the road. I hope with time they will break in. |

My Lift... LIFT: RCD 3" SHOCKS: Bilstein 5100's TIRES/WHEELS: BFG All-Terrain 30x9.50x15" Likes: Rides much better than stock, Doesn't bottom out when jumping. Very complete kit. Very high quality parts. Dis-Likes: 3" coils don't seem like quite 3" but I could be wrong. No disconnects included, but that's not a deal breaker. The instructions were kind of oddly worded but were good enough. Would You Recommend: YES! This kit rides exceptionally well, and is very high quality. Took the abuse of sand dunes and jumps very well. I would recommend this kit for anyone who wants good offroad performance without sacrificing ride quality. |
So update. I moved to Colorado since the OP. I live 2hrs from Moab now. Lift has been on for almost 5 years now, and "Thorn" has had the pleasure of doing some cool trails. I have logged around 38,000 miles since install. First the bad: 1. Those damn bushings. Supposedly RE has resolved the issue but mine were junk. Daystar replacements installed after only 20,000 miles. However easy fix. 2. The drop down belly pan. The thing is IED proof and its a good thing too because its gonna drag. Really thats it. Otherwise I've found that going long arm really was worth every penny. The RE lift is solid, reliable, rides excellent on pavement, flexes, and feels extremely stable in the rocks. Last: would I buy it again? .... No. I would have had M40 build a custom 4 link with coilovers.. Would I recommend this kit? Absolutely. Trail accomplishments.

Rough Country 4" X-Flex Lift: RC 4 X-FLEX Springs: 4" RC coils; JKS Adjustable Coil Over Spacer Shocks: RC 2.2 Performance Control Arms: Upper & Lower Adjustable Tires/Wheels: 33 x 12.5 Toyo Open Country $1100 for lift; $175 for JKS ACOS Likes: The lift didn't hurt the pocket book too much, I figured I might as well spend the extra $ for the adjustable arms. It flexes okay for me and adequately fits 33s. When I first installed the lift it sat at about 3.5" in the front and 4 in the rear; but I do have a winch up front. Quick disconnects work great and tuck nicely out of the way. The performance 2.2s are inverted and the body of the shock is topside; really like them. RC seems to have a bad reputation for a rough ride, but for me, it rides excellent; but it is on the stiff side. Adding the JKS ACOS system leveled her out to 4.25 of lift on the nose. The X-FLEX joints were easy to build and are solid, as are the Adjustable control arms. Dis-Likes: At times it seemed the directions got ahead of themselves, but as long as you have a basic knowledge of a jeeps suspension system, youll figure it out. The Front Track bar relocation bracket was a bastard, I paid $50 for the darn bit, a 29/32 (You wont find it at your local hardware store). There are extended brake lines included, but for me they are a little too long for a 4 lift, so I did not end up installing them, the stock lines still have plenty of stretch. Would I Recommend: Absolutely, If youre looking for a mid-priced lift for moderate off-roading. The first pic is with the Rancho 2.5" lift, which I would not recommend. |

The lift i went with was the RC 3 1/4", consisted of 2.5 progressive springs and 3/4 inch spacers, RC N 2.0 shocks as well as a steering stabilizer. I have only had the lift on for a little over a week but so far it's great, rides better than it did stock, but then again the old springs had 119,000 miles on them!. It allowed me to fit 33/1250/15 Goodyear Duratrac's, chose these due to the fact that this is my DD and only going to use it for week-end trail rides/moderate off roading with the family. |

LIFT : I had a 4" curry short arm lift kit installed on my 2004 rubicon. I had 4wheelers supply in Phoinex do the installation. Best money I spent on my jeep guys worked hard for me and did a great job. I also had the antirock sway bar installed in the front. SHOCKS: I had Bilstein shocks installed. TIRES: Procomp 33" by 12.5 LIKES: lift is built stout! Johnny joints are as good as it gets. Springs seem balanced and if I have a couple hundred pounds in the back it rides like a stock jeep on the road. I had 3/4" spacers under the front springs before the installation. These were in place to help support the weight of the added winch. At first we left them in and test drove the jeep after installing the curry lift. It was a no go and we removed them right away. Dislike: the antirock torsion bar seems soft on the highway also off road when taking turns at a little faster speed. Curry sent me a stiffer torsion bar and it has helped some. I noticed if I have the rear end of the jeep loaded it handles better on and off road. I'm thinking of having the 3/4" spacers installed under the rear shocks to see if that makes a difference. Currently the jeep seems to sit a little high in the front. I did have to add the Cv joint on the rear drive shaft. Stock shafts vibration was greater then I could except. |

LIFT: 6" Rough Country Long Arm SPRINGS: RC 6" High Flex Coil Springs SHOCKS: RC Performance 2.2 series WHEELS & TIRES: 15x10 Pro Comp Rock Crawler 152 series w/ 35" BFG KM2 Rough Country quick disconnects RC CV Driveshaft PROS: I went with this lift kit because I got a very good deal on it, big thanks to RC. The lift was very easy to install, cut 4 upper control arm brackets off, and the rest is a breeze from there. Dropping the axels, cutting the 4 brackets, and installing the lift, took about 12 hours with 2 people. (Having a hydraulic 2 post lift made it 20x faster and easier) The flex is great, you get a lot of travel out of it. & the Jeep drives like a cadillac! CONS: Exhaust has to be cut and rerouted for the rear upper control arms to fit. The case for the Slip Yoke Eliminator, (that also came from RC) the seal is leaking tranny fluid & has to be replaced. Overall great lift and I would highly recommend it to anyone! |

my jeep: 06 rubicon lift: RC 4" x-flex cost:995.00 out the door likes: Very complete kit, all eight control arms adj., drop pitman arm, drop track bar bracket, new adj. track bar for front, track bar relocation bracket for rear, quick disconnects, absolutely no bump steer, about 4.25 inches of lift when installed after 10 months of DD still a little better than 4". Not to hard to install took about nine hours me and one other guy. Opted for tom woods cv drive shaft rather than tc drop well worth it. Dislikes: a little stiffer than stock but really not too bad. |

Here's my lift LIFT: Zone 4.25" Combo SHOCKS: Zone standard SYE/CVD: None TIRES/WHEELS: 33x12.50 Goodyear MTR/Kevlars Dis-Likes: Which I would have opted for the quick disconnects instead of the set sway bar connects. Other than that, really nothing that I can think of for a dislike. Likes: Rides smoothly on the road and handles very well going down the highway. The shocks absorb the bumps and potholes on street driving well enough that I can hardly feel it. Off road the tires and lift has enough clearance to get over rocks and another small to medium size obstacles. Definitely not something I would take it to the extreme rock crawling. But for a DD and a weekend warrior, I'd recommend it. Would You Recommend: |

2004 Rubicon LIFT -6" BDS LONG ARM - 1' BODY LIFT TIRES - 37" on 17X10 Moto Metal Wheel Been running this lift for 3 yrs now. Came with a lifetime original owner warranty. Bushing popped out of one of the long arms in a mud hole last year. I called up the company and they sent me a complete new arm assembly, no questions asked. Have not had any more trouble. We don't do much rock climbing down her in the swamp, but it has seen its share of mud holes. I would recommend this lift to anyone. Customer service is excellent if you need it. |

Lift: 2.5" RC 1.25" BL Springs: 2.5" RC coils .75" spacer up front to accomodate for the winch Shocks: RC Control Arms: Upper & Lower Rusty's adjustable arms SYE/CVD: Advanced Adapters SYE & Tom Woods CV Driveshaft Tires/Wheels: 33x12.5 BFG Km2, 15x8 BlackRock Series 952 Likes: The lift was cheap, and i was at a budget when i bought it. It flexes out great for me and allows me to fit 33s comfortably. When i first installed the lift it sat at about 3" of lift. Love the SYE, which allowed me to add a tummy tuck skid plate, for extra clearance. Adding Metalcloak fenders really opened up my front end, so their was less rubbing of the tires. Dis-Likes: After a couple of months the lift began to sag. After 14,000 miles it probably sits at about 2" of lift. The shocks that RC provides are absolutely terrible, and the coils make it a really ruff ride on the road. This isn't my DD so its mostly wheeled, and has performed well off road. The front end sagged a considerable amount when i added the winch (but thats obvious) The Rusty's control arms, im not a fan of. I dont have any complaints about on road driving with them, but off road, their a little restricting on full articulation, they don't flex as well as a Johnny Joint (as expected) And im not a fan of Rusty's bushings. Would I Recommend: If your looking for a cheap lift for moderate off-roading, then Yes. In my personal opinion i would not by this lift again, too many little problems every now and again. Hopefully looking to get MC 3.5" coils soon, and adding 35s. I haven't seen many user reviews on Metalcloaks coils, but they look pretty reliable on their website reviews. Also looking to get rid of the Rusty's arms, but i think ill wait until i get long arms |

Lifted Old Teller LIFT: Rubicon Express 3.5 Super-Flex Short Arm lift w/upgrades (RE7003) 04 TJ SHOCKS: Rubicon Express Mono-Tubes SYE: Advance Adapters HD SYE Kit DRIVESHAFT: Custom & Tom Woods CV Driveshaft TIRES: 33x12.5x15 Dick Cepek Mud Country Tires WHEELS: 15x8 Dick Cepek DC-2s Wheels (3.625 BS & -21 mm Offset) Likes: Researched Kits for a full year and all reviews on the RE was good. Purchased from 4X4GroupBuy. Like the way they offer completes kits and the price was really good. Made the mistake of not purchasing the complete kit which contained SYE + CV DS. I later added these items at a much higher cost. Lift looks really cool and performs very well. Have not had a chance to take off-road yet. I replaced all control arms except front uppers. Jeep on the road performs very well and handle curves at upper speed with no problem. The 3.5 kit is really closer to a 4 lift from other vendors. Kit comes with everything needed and parts are built very well and beefy. Easily upgradable. Very pleased with the purchase and install. RE technical support was awesome! Dis-Likes: Ride a little stiffer than expected but seems to loosen up the more I drive it. Had a problem with a broken grease fitting on one of the Sway Bar Disconnects. Installing the Read Upper control arms made it tough to get the rear track bar re-attached and aligned. Rear sets a little higher than front even with 3/4" front coil spacers. Once I get my rear bumper & Tire carrier installed, this issue may resolve itself. Would You Recommend: Yes I would highly recommend this kit. Whole lot of bang for the buck!!! Based on my experience, I would highly recommend a kit that includes at least rear adjustable control arms, SYE and CV DS. You will need these extras to get rid of the driveline vibration. If you purchase these items with the kit, you will save couple hundred dollars, additional shipping cost, aggravation and some garage time. |

I took it in to have the tires balanced. The dealer noticed that one of the tires was cupped a little. Not too much to need replacing but since it was on the front, it may be more noticeable. He also said the tires were really bad out of balance. So after getting them balanced and having had the 4WD alignment the weekend before, I had to take it for another test run. I drove it about 200 miles yesterday after getting the tires balanced and rotated I have no more vibration. It was definitely in the balance for me. Therefore, I now have no dislikes on the BDS Lift itself. I believe the ride on the road is smoother than before, taking a long trip yesterday. My wife even commented that she thought it was and she is quite discerning. |

RC 4" lift with N2.0 shocks. Lift kit is great. Lots if new parts for a great price. To be honest I don't see much difference from stock. It drives great and has plenty of hight for bigger tires. Currently running 33x12.5r15. The only thing I added to the kit to help my steering was a drop pitman arm and RCN2.0 steering stabilizer. No con's. Sorry trying to add pics but can't. Will continue trying. |

3" BDS Basic Lift with Steering Stabilizer Lift: 3" BDS with the BDS 5500 Mono Steering Stabilizer - 2003-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ Standard 6.5" lift kit 467H | BDS Suspension Tires/Wheels: 33 x 12.5 x 15 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ / Cragar Series 342 Black "D" Window 15x8 Likes: First day and only driven on-road about 75 miles. Handles well on the highway at up to 75. Without the Speedometer gear replaced I tested the speedo with my GPS and found the Speedo to be about 5 mph slower than actual so a Speedo Gear replacement will be next. The tires handled well except on some of the worst seams on the highway. Standard seams did not really seem to make a difference. The extra height from the lift and tires (I measured to be 5 3/4" higher than stock tires and suspension) looks great and the underneath clearance is very noticeable. I will update how it acts off-road at a later date but on road highway performance seems to be as good if not smoother than stock. In town, I hit some bumps that normally would really shake me around quite a bit, and took them in stride. So handling small potholes seems to be better to me. Again, initial thought and I will update after driving over various conditions. Dis-Likes: I did notice some shimmy between 35-45 but goes away quickly. I would not consider it a death wobble, and it was not consistent. I noticed it twice. I have to really test this more over the next couple of days to make sure there is nothing loose or something needing adjustment. Recommend? YES. I had this installed by Griffin Tire in Belmont NC and what I really liked was that over several other systems I discussed with them, I ended up going with BDS. The Dealer experience was great and after reading all of the reviews here, the price and the warranty of BDS, I went with them. I am not a serious off-roader, but do take it off-road for fun and some wheeling but not extreme. Here is the finished product with tires, wheels and kit installed (compare to my Avatar picture for the before): Here is the front shock, spring and sway bar with quick disconnect: Back Shock and Spring: MTR Baja MTZ and Cragar D Ring wheels: |

My Jeep: 2001 Wrangler Sport My Lift: Rubicon Express 3.5" Super Flex Short Arm with adjustable uppers and lowers and adjustable Track Bar. SHOCKS: Bilstein 5100 Disconnects: RE disconnects SYE/CVD: Stock, 1 inch skid plate drop kit TIRES/WHEELS: BFG A/T KO's 33x12.5x15" on 15x8 MT Slots Likes: The ride is smother than my stock springs. The added flex took me through several trails in Moab without hanging a tire. I know this sounds a little weird but I also like the color. I have a blue TJ, the last thing I wanted was red or yellow hardware flashing from under the wheel wells, it just isn't my style. Dis-Likes: I have no complaints at all. With or without my hard top it rides great. Would You Recommend: Yes, this is a good height, great ride, and completes both the function and style I was looking for in my daily driven rig. |

Rough Country 2.5 My lift Rough Country 2.5 RC N 2.0 Shocks 1 inch diy t-case drop Stock Canyon wheelss BFG AT 30x 9.5x 15's Pros... The lift is inexpensive and rides exponentially better than the stock 2000 tj's original springs and rancho es 5000 shocks. i used to hit small bumps and feel my teeth rattle, first ride in, the difference was night and day. the biggest surprize was my g/f noticing how much smoother the ride was. also since i run a hard top and took the top off, im actually over 3 inches of lift. So far pretty impressed with the lift considering the bad rap RC products has gotten. cons... the kit did not come with a remedy for driveline vibes and I did get some driveline vibes and ended up dropping my t-case about an inch with some 1/2 inch SS washers and 2 inch Grade 8 SS bolts. So far am pleased with it, took the jeep to South Padre Island and did some wheeling in the dunes no problem. as this is my DD i am not going to go too crazy with it and the lift suits my needs pretty well, will keep everyone posted with any changes. -Jake |
UPDATE: 3 months later Im liking this lift. didn't keep my initial measurements so I don't know how much it settleled, but it doesn't seem to have dropped noticably. It feels softer sprung than before with the stock coils and 2" spacers. However, it doesn't sag much with weight...I weigh 210lbs... when I stand on the front or rear bumper, it drops only 3/4in. When my wife (98lbs) stands on the bumpers, it drops 1/4 inch. As this lift rides 3/4 high in the rear (with heavy 3/8" recover bumpers) a winch up front woud be unikely to make the front drop lower than the rear. I haven't had it off road to the point that I need to use the disconnects, but it's working well. rides soft, but it does hit the bump stops pretty easy if I'm going too fast. |

Rough Country 4'' N20 Lift: Rough Country 4'' N20 Price: $450 Review: Couldn't be happier. First trip out I was able to easily crawl over areas I normally didn't even try. The shocks seemed rougher than stock at first but after a couple of thousand miles I have no complaints about them. Still has great road manners but now the trails are even more fun. Not a lot of mountains in the south so this lift was perfect for me. I doubt I could find another lift as good for <$500 |

Nice double room, big desk, chest of drawers, shelves, wardrobe etc. Student house-share with three friendly third year students at the uni. I'm having to leave because of health problems so the room is available from now until the beginning of July (5th).
The house is lovely (all new carpets- not the blue one in the pic!) and a great atmosphere to chill out and study in. Situated right near the co op, and other stores/take-aways and only 10-15 min walk up to the uni. Number 6 bus straight to town every 15 mins (or 20 minute walk down the cycle path.)
Contact me anytime via email or a text to my mobile :).
(Students only- unless you want to pay a lot of council tax!)
