You should just ask one of them what it is really going to take to repair
HMmm. I might have thought mini rollers with marine resin, add fiberglass CLOTH to it, and repeat a few times.

Screwed once salt gets inside of the rockers. Trust me there's no way to keep those clean enough. You would have to own one to direct the blame accordingly.

Tires don't chg HP. The blower was the more interesting part, but I didn't see the install in earlier vids. With so very few vehicles even approaching 90% volumetric efficiency, a lil turbo to just reach 110% would be great, or a bit more, for their higher altitude work.

Met a guy at a well know SF pub-eatery yesterday, (Tommy's,) after body scans, who had just returned from Utah. He mentioned it was cold and did confirm your snow was not photoshopped... heh heh.

One of many things the Fire Dept's do well is take care of their fleet. They're kept clean.
