    Yeah I just saw that as well. I'm packed up and ready either way. We'll see what happens. I have until Saturday off so as long as I can get through for a day or two I'll be good.

    :bananadance::bananadance::bananadance::bananadance:Kings and TC UCAs are on their way! UPS dropped by with them today, but sadly nobody was at the house to sign for them.

    Any recommendations on good remote camping spots or trails? I'm wanting to get out next weekend and explore a bit and not end up at a campground full of people.

    Solid. The rear tires kept traction even through the whoops and washboards. they're sitting high right now so I expect some settling but even with 200lbs in the bed, they were still smooth and stayed high

    Even though Arctic valley is easy enough to drive gokart up it, it still never disappoints with the views :thumbsup:

    Note: Hard to see, but got one of my C-17's flying in the background! :oldglory:

    I ordered some Bilstein 5100 extended rear shocks today with the goal of taming my rear end a little. Right now I'm running a 3" lift (added leaf) and it's pretty stiff over bumps, especially when the suspension drops. I'm hoping the added travel and new shocks might help a bit. Looking at 5100's and OME 887s to replace the front spacer lift in the future along with new UCAs.

    How did you guys with weathertech's get them shipped up here? Cabala's won't ship them and Amazon won't.

    So before leaving Alaska back in May I had the Toyota dealership do an oil change and a once over inspection for the 3k mile trip through Canada since I didn't have the time to get it all done myself.

    These dudes jacked my aFE pro-dry air filter.. didn't realize it until now when I went to clean it. I specifically said not to replace it since it's not just a throw-away filter. But I don't think it's written on the paperwork.. if I even have it. I'm going to try and call tomorrow but I'll probably just have to eat it. Pretty shady of them, I know those techs know the difference between a regular air filter and an aftermarket one
