    I can't help it! You'll be happy to know that it is clunking...

    Isn't it @Airdog with the king dual shock setup? I like his set up with TC. I'll probably go for the TC setup someday.

    Looks like you guys had a blast in Anza-Borrego. Bummed I missed it. Sorry I went off the grid for a bit. Between working 29 of the last 36 days and getting everything squared away with my new house in North Hills (which you guys are all invited to once things are settled), I haven't really had much time to do a whole lot. So, there's that if anyone was wondering where the fuck I was.

    On another note, I am going on a 200+ mile overland trip from Barstow to Vegas on the Mojave Trail this weekend (leave early Sat morning, back Sun night). Right now, there are about 6 trucks full. I have one or maybe two spots left in my truck if anyone wants to roll with - or this is an open invite for you who would want to tag along with us in your truck.

    Maybe. @ramonortiz55 is the group buy bastard and has some suspension group buys coming up. That may be your ticket haha
    Your Frozen situation makes me happier to be honest haha

    Well since being a 4x2 I'm thinking of the pre runner approach, going fast on dirt roads, drifting, minor jumps. Ext I don't really have a good idea of what to do. Mid travel seems to fit my criteria

    I'm going to break that DVD player.
    Dude totally pre runner it out. You gotta do dual shocks. I was skeptical, it is so fun though.

    I got the wrench. It works great on my Kings and is a really tight fit on Fox.

    That won't get it out of there haha.

    Prerunner does sound sweet. Though my rig is 4x4, I think I'm going to go that route. I like prerunning more than rock crawling so that's probably the way to go. Besides having a 4WD shouldn't hurt anything

    I like both. At coyote canyon, @Boffroad and I would hit around 50-60 on the sand, then crawl up the rocky parts.

    Prerunning is fun and mid travel is plenty to have a great time. Icons or Kings you cant go wrong, Good thing about Icons is you can get a full stage system. if your budget permits Kings with TC is a solid set up.

    No haha any jumping and going fast you need long travel. You can get mid travel but you'll kill it haha

    Well that's the thing. Once you get really built, you kinda become good at most things. Zach's (@4x4runner2002) is more setup for rock crawling but he was kicking ass at the prerunning

    No probs here. I love my icon setup. You can't can't go wrong with kings though. It's just a preference thing. I get deals on icon so I just go with there stuff.
