    Thanks bro, I like it here:)

    So I've mentioned that this is a learning experience for me.
    Well I learned a lot today. Should've done more cycling when I put it together, but I didn't really know what I was doing.

    Wanted to see my flex and when my tires hit the shocks.

    IMG_1243_zpscfc50382_95b6b57a830dc4bd63bb5fa312548b0d46b9ce4b.jpg

    So on the stuffed side, the tire hits the shock.

    IMG_1244_zps9d54c47d_9f003be7e8dd644415cde3c835d69a01bc663290.jpg

    And on the drooped side, there's still lots of room between the shock and frame.

    IMG_1245_zpsac10108b_c9abac8bc01cc063cacce10f79232a5af5991c78.jpg

    So I need to move both shock mounts in, or at least the top mounts in.

    Also at bump, my axle is pretty far back.

    I planned on re-doing some stuff next year, so I'm just adding stuff to the list. Oh well, it's just a truck

    I'm just saying, on the grand scale of things, its not the worst thing in the world to have problems with a truck;)

    Out on some logging roads around Smithers.

    Living the dream there. Awesome truck and gorgeous scenery. I've been dying to see LT move from the desert and into the mountains and logging roads. Can't wait 'till its my turn.

    Its fun, but its hard to find nice whoop sections.
    Also, since no one has LT up here, everyone stares at me driving past:cool:

    Yeah its a nice shot. Also put on some cool stickers, but they're probably not your style:rolleyes:

    Since I'm not working on the truck, I may as well take pictures.

    Not horribly far. I drove up to Bellingham a couple weeks ago. Took 7-8ish hours. Probably 6ish hour drive from where I'll be this summer. Whipsaw is a couple hour drive on top of that it looks like.
