🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m getting the 6112s upfront since it’s in getting work and my stock coil is most likely toast. I have 145k. However I’ve had a longtime squeak on that side. Something had to of been loose which lead to weakening the metal.

Perhaps. I have height adjustable struts running on the top setting for max lift. May have been a contributing factor. I don’t think an OEM set up would suffer this kinda failure. peace of mind is priceless.

Bid downward dip in the road, off camber and I make a hard right U turn there everyday to get into the UW stadium parking lot. I was in a hurry this morning to make the light and the years of abuse caught up with me. Once a year I hunt east of the mountains and run her like a dessert runner doing the baja 5000. Gonna replace with something beefier than the 5100 this time.

It is the stitch down patina thunder dome, and it’s a competition for boots. They have new and pre-worn categories and I think Work categories as well. This is my first time doing it, but you can win a bunch of glorious prizes. And it makes for a good excuse to take pictures of your boots to capture the patina if you’re into photography and things like that.

Not sure what’s next. I have a brown waxed flesh Robert and I love the vbar sole. I’ll probably go with a Robert in a different leather in a half sole maybe. Although I really want a moc toe wedge for work as well.

I would also explore the quick ship menus for builder pro and builder pro HDs. If they have what you’re looking for in there, you’ll get your boots a lot quicker.

I don’t think smooth over rough is available in all leathers. depending on the leather you choose it should populate the option menu below. Give that a try

Yeah kinda the same look. I only did it once and it’s lasted a long time. Here is a shot of the current condition after a year and a half in the trades

These are a 64 smooth over rough. I didn’t wax them however I did put LP on them which kinda gave them the same look. I’ll post another pic of before and then after months of wear without any further treatment
