    Just got this email today..HOPEFULLY they ship this week...Hopefully....:rolleyes:

    "Hello Hieu,

    All of our HID kits has been on backordered for the past two weeks. We are getting our shipments of all our HID systems in by this afternoon. We will be catching up ASAP to all the backordered items and shipping them out hopefully by the end of this weekend. If you wish to cancel this order, you will need to notify us right away. If not, once the item is ready to be shipped out, a tracking number will be provided to you.

    Thank you!"

    There is an infinite number of trails up here. There are many, many places you can test the abilities of your truck right here within the city limits. You can get your wheel on within 500 yards of Wal-Mart, San Juan College, public schools, etc. The city is more or less surrounded by BLM land that offers endless rock crawling, sand dunes, and high speed desert sections. Everything is easily accessible by oil and gas roads. On the edge of town, about 5 minutes from my house, is Chokecherry Canyon. Youtube it. It's a famous wheeling spot that has all ability level trails. They hold many national circuit rock crawling competitions there too. An hour and a half north of here you get into world famous trails like the passes between Silverton and Telluride (Black Bear, Cinnamon, etc). There is also the Alpine Loop right there too. Some of the most beautiful shit you've ever seen in your life. Bring your camping gear and make a trip out of one of those trails. You won't regret it. Any high clearance 4wd vehicle with a decent driver behind the wheel can negotiate the Colorado trails with no problem. Hell, we're less than 3 hours from Moab.

    I sound like a commercial, but it is really that good up here from a strictly wheeling standpoint. If any of you guys head this direction, I'd gladly help you plan a cool trip (although Google can probably tell you more than I can), or maybe even join you.

    To answer your question. It's a four wheeling Disneyland up here.

    Even though everybody is totally ignoring me down here...

    Southern -- do those HID kits work for the fogs, too? I'd like to have 'em both done.

    I'm still down to go up north for the hoods, if anybody is interested. just give me a few weeks notice, so I can work some scheduling out with work.
