    Well it won't be the last time either of us are going thats for sure, were thinking of a STL/KC meet there. They do a shuttle pickup from the park and take you up to float down stream either by canoe/kayak/raft, so we were thinking a trail ride sat camp and doing the float thing sunday.

    Sounds great. I reckon some Arkansas folks would be up to it as well.

    Still puzzled by the great balance bead fiasco. The only thing that I've thought of that has any shred of possibility is some sort of static.

    Yeah not sure what the deal is, only thing I could think of is maybe the beads needed some rotations to start doing their thing. Or its trying to balance on a road thats a little bumpy and the beads make it worse for that type of road, hell I really don't know but it works so thats all that matters

    Great time for sure. Looked at my driveshaft and it has a good dent in one spot, not scratches. Ha.

    Let me get that flex picture on the big rock, need it for a wallpaper!

    Got out today with @G.T. we decided to hit up some dirt roads in hopes to plan a future trip for the STL area folk, laid out of GPS tracks and even the stock guys can come out to get their feet wet (literally) We basically just scouted the area to get a couple of possibilities depending on what the groups preference will be. Even took some pictures today

    Made sure the rear is bumped right, looks like full bump gives me about 1-.5" shock travel left. Little close but thats the highest the bump can go so I shouldn't have to worry about the bump being pushed on a hard hit

    Afterwards I headed home to wash the truck for a second time today, to be fair the first wash was just to get majority of the mud off so I could roll my windows down. Took some better pictures of the love tap from the tree, even one showing how much the flare will cover the damage. I tired to pop it all out but I think I made it worse and everytime I got in area pushed out the paint would crack :frusty: So Ill probably wrap the area with vinyl to keep the paint in tact so I don't have to worry about it rusting.

    Powder coat those cross bars! I couldn't stand the raw aluminum look. Looking good even those battle scars!

    Still working some things out. Been away from the truck for a bit but I hope to wrap the solar up soon. I want to get some output numbers to share and give realistic expectations for those interested.

    Headed up to Chicago today to be a tourist with the lady, we parked the truck for once haha. But we rented some bikes and road the lake shore, went to navy pier, and headed to some shops. Then we headed over to @geekhouse23 so he could be named the proud new owner of a limited edition YAAAS! sticker (bumper included). Glad to see it go to local guy thats going to continue to put it to use, exactly how I wanted it. While we were waiting I snuck in a picture of our trucks (surprisingly the only picture I took of my truck in Chicago)

    The entire flare is trimmed, but I only trimmed a little bit so thats why it looks like it isn't. So if its full lock it will rub but a full stuff/lock isn't something that happens ofter for me so it works, worst case I break a couple of clips

    So the bushwackers you scooped up (and away from me, but that's ok) were 05-11, correct?
