I try to do this every year, but I'm a little late this time. Just wanted to remind folks, that are in the market for an extended warranty, that it's best to purchase before year end.

I'm not sure where to put this but for those of you who know Alicia of Rolling Retreats, last night there was a road rage shooting on I40 with two fatalities. One of those victims was Alicia's aunt. Please keep Alicia and her family in your thoughts. Thanks.

April is not that far away and we are planning on getting the I S system installed before the Rally, My question is to those who have it is. What bearings did you go with and why? I am leaning on going with the greaseable type instead of the sealed. Thanks for your feedback.
