Iowa anyone?

Hey, I'll take extra help whenever it is offered, so huge THANK YOU. In the near future, I'm free Saturday until 4, and Sunday after 4. Mondays & Tuesdays are typically bad (kids' activities), but most other days are fine. I think Thursday of next week might be out though, wife picked up an evening shift but I can't remember for certain if it was Wed/Thurs.

Anyway, I'll need to fetch the jack from @R1T311, unless he wants to join us & chat while tires get swapped around.

I'm available Sunday after 4. I'll bring my jack and pucks.

Probably not available Sunday afternoon to hang out but @LeDiable just PM me and we can figure out logistics, I’m around most of the weekend.

I'm grabbing a torque wrench from my dad tomorrow and he's also got a 3 ton floor jack I can use. Hopefully it can lift high enough.

I think (more like hope, really) I'll have the tools covered now, but thanks for the offer!

Hey, someone already set up an Iowa club! Maybe a better way to organize meetups?

Thats a great price. I'm still inclined to pay the for the Jack Pucks, although I'm not sure I can justify double the price for one extra magnet, rubber base, bottle jack port, and subjectively better color choices...

Des moines area: any good suggestions on electricians to install 240 plug?

Took delivery yesterday. 8 days from picking it from the shop to delivery day.

I am located in the Waukee area, if there are any pre-order holders that would be interested in seeing one in person before locking everything in.

They are cranking those things out these days, dang.

Congrats and enjoy!

Tesla supercharger just opened up in Ames, IA with magic dock.

Nice. I just used two of these for the first time earlier this week down in Indiana on my way to Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Magic Docks work great, just sucks they are 150kW limited. Still better than nothing though

Just tried this for the first time this morning. Worked great!

Did you pay the $12.99 membership fee?

What wheels and tires you got on that thing?

No, just the regular price, not going to lie, kinda pricy.

When I needed new tires this summer with only 25K mi on them, I chose to replace the factory 21" rims and Pirellis with the following setup:

Gear Off Road 763B Raid 20x9 5x5.5" +18mm Gloss Black Wheel Rim 20" Inch
Plus a set of Faulken Ziex CT60's which gave me the same weight rating (116H) and outer diameter as my factory setup, so I didn't have to reprogram the RIT to a new wheel setup.

So far, they've been great! From what I can tell, tread wear seems better too!

Overall efficiency is down about 5%, as these have a bigger offset and are thus a bit less aerodynamic, but I like the looks.
