Very nice! And a Texan!

 

Don't hate me, got this during the 3 years I lived in California.

 

Oh well, I bought mine in Arizona. I'll move back to Texas eventually.

 

I used to work out in AZ, near Lake Havasu...nice scenery in the summer.

 

Yeah, sadly I'm stuck in the middle east for a couple more months, 5-6 months back in Tucson and off to Korea for a year.

 

Ah, bummer. I'm going back to where I grew up (Oregon) for 4 days for a Christmas get together...kind of somewhat comparable...

 

I love Oregon. We used to go off-roading with my dad when I was little, he had an old FJ40.

 

Yeah, It's a beautiful place I've lived in a lot different areas of it, wanna move back eventually. Sadly the only vehicle I had while I was there was an un-modded (due to the lack of funds) chevy tracker.

 

Lookin good! Did you ever do those EGCS bushings? PITA?

 

Not yet. Didn't know about the issue until after I had lifted my truck a few weeks ago. Ordering it, gonna be out of town this weekend.

 

I have watched a few videos on it. Looks simple, as long as you have their tool and get the bearing straight...if you get that started cock-eyed, looks like ur screwed. Figure I will have to do it eventually.

 

Finally ordered ECGS bushing.

 

Got rock sliders installed a while back.

 

Went to the lake the other day and had to make my own parking spot near the road because it was packed.

 

Got a bunch of free wood!
