    yep pretty much, there is someone in so cal who just posted some for 80 shipped... think I'll just do that
    Just pisses me off that those asshats can't even tighten lugs correctly

    good point about all of them being potentially messed up. was so frustrated that didn't even occur to me.
    Might be nice to have an extra spacer lying around too!

    If the budget was $45K... With the low- pro way your rear shocks are setup, an AT Habitat would go nicely on your truck.

    If the suspension was spec'd by you, I'd have to bypass the whole camper thing...
    Different strokes for different folks. All puns intended.

    The Flippac was the first mod to my truck. It made camping with 2 kids way easier and much more frequent. Now that my truck is armored, I get to try more challenging trails. I've spent almost 100 nights in the truck over the last 3 years, and we would have been less likely to do it if I went for suspension and armor first. That being said...

    I'd love to see Jimmy do the Rubicon with a Habitat, and see Jason jump his truck with a Habitat, and maybe also do the Rubicon. Will one of you mofos with super-capable rigs please jump on board the popup camper train? ;)

    Dude, not everyone wants to deploy their truck and trailer by driving off the rear ramp of a low-flying C-130 over an unimproved airfield.

    I want to see him drive off then shift into reverse for the landing, running backward with the trailer in the lead. Otherwise, not impressed.

    Had a jump get scratched one night because a HMMV burned in, there wasn't much left when we got to it on the DZ. Pretty cool though.

    Sarcasm my friend. Wasn't insinuating everyone should have the shocks I have.
    And no Habitat for me. Because bedcage and prerunner shit. But I am running the Rubicon very shortly (as long as my clutch gets here in time).

    Yes they do

    Challenge accepted...while masturbating and chewing gum.

    Picked up on that, which is why I threw out that "bypass/ different strokes" comment...

    When you were helping me with valving advice, I did some peripheral research and determined that I "need" bypass shocks. Just for tuneability. There's no overlandy argument against them... Especially if I want my rig to ride like this:
