    No i won't be driving. I didn't get the suspension stuff yet. I'll be riding with @Firebird to check out his suspension. Would like to ride with @Arcticelf also. To check his out as well. If thats cool with everyone? Is there anything i need to bring?
    I can't do Saturday as i coach my sons soccer team. And the game is @ 3:30. So sunday will be the best Date.

    @Arcticelf has a great suspension! Uppers and lowers and has really gone the extra mile to milk articulation out of the front of a mid travel build. That'll really show what a high-end mid-travel digressive shock build will offer.

    I'm looking for good travel and maybe the ability to go fast. I'm getting some dakars. Thinking fox lv 2. Not sure if I need resis and compression adj,sure I want them. But do I need to be looking at limit straps and bump stops with that kind of set up.

    Lv4 kings would be nice. How much can I get for a kidney.

    The other factor for me in limit straps: I have custom machined misalignment spacers on my UCAs, so the uni-ball allows more travel than the CV joints can handle, as a result full droop could break things without a limit strap to bring it back into a safe range.

    It's alot of work for 1/2" to 3/4" of travel, but that's letting me take full advantage of the extended travel icons.

    Absolutely, it looks like we're going on for Sunday.

    Weather looks okay for camping, so I think that's a plan.

    I want to go, but I should get my sliders/skids first. Plus I got to finish a bathroom this weekend.

    Yeah, that back corner could be a bit of an issue. Careful departure will be key, but I think k he could get through TaTas without issue...
