    I'm so sorry for you loss... :anonymous:

    It's been this way the last few years. It's always fun to hear what my teachers/professors say when they found out it's my birthday.

    Today though, I walk into class to take my final and the first thing I hear is, "Happy Birthday Cory. Here's your Final." :rofl: Needless to say, my English professor has some humor.

    Got back from the Rubicon Trail yesterday. Fun trip. Trail was extremely difficult, even compared to years past, but it was a ton of fun.

    I took right around 400 photos over the trip so I won't kill you browsers. Instead, here's a link to the album! :D

    Read through all 36 pages.

    Amazing talent and creativity. Great looking truck. Just wished you lived in Los Angeles, so could see the beauty in person. Thank you for the inspiration.

    Thank you for the kind words! She's definitely been a fun project that will be with me for years to come. I've considered going down to SoCal to run some trails. Just FYI :spy:

    If you ever do come down, give me the pleasure of seeing your beautiful truck in person. Mine will never look like that, as I have neither the talent or the tools to do it. So I have to appreciate you hard work

    Those are 37's right? Think a LT taco on 35's could do most of the trail pretty well?

    Yep. 37s. LT on 35s would get most people anywhere. I personally think it's a great option if you don't want to spend a ton to have an axle put under the rig. Johnson Valley and Fordyce are the only places I wouldn't go without a SAS though.

    Total Chaos +2 race kit with Kings. Eventually ill put bypasses in as well. If I went with the +3.5" kit i'd be jumping my truck a lot which then opens a whole other can of worms that I don't need to get into.

    That sounds like fun! Hopefully it works out for you!

    I really wish there was a +2 kit for the first gen. For what I'm doing I really don't want to go for +3.5 :(

    Thanks man! I just didn't want to run glass and become 85" wide depending on which wheels I go with.

    Yes but you can run the 3.5" kit and still be the same width, if not a little skinnier than me with a +2.

    Yea, but then I'd have to run fiberglass fenders, which something like $750 I don't want to spend.
