    Stuff I Think Makes it Better
    Running 0 everything except caster is +3.1 and 3.0. And yah, it's the skids that are making the growl, thank God. It only happens when I'm reversing, so I ain't worried about it too much, juSt makes people look at my beast. Side note: supposed to snow tomorrow. Yay!!!

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    so dude is doing the write up. hopefully know by tomorrow. pretty sure i'll have to fight some things. he was already giving me shit about wanting to only replace portions of the bumper (that allpooh hasn't made in like 6-7 years) and giving me shit about depreciation on it due to surface rust where the powdercoat peeled off. they want to do the body work w/o looking at the suspension/frame first.

    was talking some shit about getting a 4wd shop to look at the suspension stuff b/c he didn't think the shop their could handle it...FUCKING BOLT ON SUSPENSION UPGRADES! all that's different is the OME shock/spring and the allpooh UCAs. not too much faith in this process so far.

    allstate said they couldnt do shit once they start fixing things. allstate wants to short me from the get-go w/ the $1k aftermarket cap, event hough geico claimed responsibility and would ultimately pay it off (on top of me footing my $500 deductible to start). geico wants to be dicks about it, i'll lawyer up.

    Thanks for the heads up. The more I thought about it today, the more it pissed me off. I'm going to call them tomorrow and give them the chance to fix it, and if not, they can kiss that 5 star Google review average goodbye. I'm not really even that mad about waiting two hours, even though I think they're idiots for it. They worked on my alignment for 25 minutes, billed me for 60 minutes of work, and the results weren't what we agreed on. The tech obviously didn't toy around with the camber bolts very much since I had an ass of caster still in there. All things I'm going to bring up tomorrow on the phone.

    End of rant... I am thankful that the Discount Tire experience was good. They did everything I asked, and did it in a timely manner. Never been thankful for people doing what they're being paid to do.


    I'm talking about Smith Davidson Tire and automotive on Woodruff road, in case y'all were wondering. Buyer beware...

    They have primitive camping spots and if you need to, can camp in the "parking lot". If there are campers, Skip will leave the office open for use of the bathroom and shower. Important to remember that Gulches is an off-road park before anything else so don't expect clean bathrooms/showers (bring shower shoes), a playground, level sites, etc. If the family isn't used to "roughing it" while camping, you may want to find a designated campground (i.e. KOA) elsewhere and just wheel at Gulches.

    If you're ok with mud, check out Big Nasty in Bloomingdale. Decent camping area with bathhouses and full hookups (I think) for RVs. The park is big with miles of "trails", a MX track, some obstacles, mud pits, etc. If you're by yourself, DO NOT venture on to any of the trails in the back of the park. There have been trucks left stuck out there for days. You'll need all the recovery gear you can bring even if you go out with a group. The mud back there is actually worse than what the name Big Nasty implies.

    I'm gonna ask these guys to fix it without charge and if they aren't willing to do that then I'll be going to one of those for sure. How much does Westar cost?
