    Not even sure GS can use it since it's an MWR service. Can't shop at the BX or the Comissary, but can use the minimart for lunch. Pretty stupid IMO; if you have a CAC card, you should have the key to everything...

    Most base auto hobby shops that I've been to don't care. They usually figure that if you can get on base, then you're allowed to use their shop. While I was still active duty, I've never been carded trying to use the shop.

    Do you still have your bearing puller for the front diff? I'm probably going to just order the bushing this week and see if it helps. My vibration is very slight but we drove another 2015 today at dealer and it was a smoother. It did have icons all around, slight lift, uca so maybe that had something to do with it

    Mormon Well Rd is an easy drive but scenic, it drops you off near Coyote Springs on 93 northeast of town. Looks like part of the road is washed out, you can inquire more at the visitor center. http://www.fws.gov/refuge/Desert/about/contact.html

    Bitterspring Rd is short but a fun trip through a gravely wash. The full Birtterspring Backcountry Byway is fun too. The west side near Valley of Fire is pretty rough in places, but I've made it multiple times in a stock '14 TRD OR. The east side gets a little long and bumpy, but it's worth the price of admission I'd say.

    I don't know the condition of the trail, but it's probably too much for a stocker. More ground clearance and sliders would be very desireable, but you could run it until it gets to be too much.

    I went from the red rock side and turned around what seemed to be about a mile or two from the other side. There were some pretty big rocks and the jeeps I saw coming up were massive. I've seen stick looking rigs go from the other side though

    What's up nevada folks! Do you guys happen to have a classified thread? Going to be up in Las Vegas tomorrow through Wednesday and thought I'd look at what you all have to see if there is anything I might want to pick up for my truck when I'm there.
