    Wouldn't recommend taking the GX up? My buddy invited me next weekend, but I think I may just ride with him.

    I have skids/sliders/locker but would prefer not to destroy the body

    Did Andrew not go? Will a big 80 series fit?
    I got the spanners for the valving, but nothing for the preload. The instructions said to get ~2" of lift I should adjust the preload from 20mm to 10mm since I don't have bumper/winch. I did a little UNDER 10mm and was still sitting at just over 3" in the front, and just over 4" in the rear.

    I'm downloading a file recovery program right now... I put my SD card into my reader and it's showing as needing formatted. RIP all the install photos I took.

    I probably wouldn't. You could do the EZ valley connector trail and one other mud trail but they aren't very long so not sure it would be worth it. I hit my skid on the gate keeper but Im sure that could have been avoided.
    Width isn't much of a problem, but length is. DCLB is guaranteed body damage.
    Andrew couldn't go but it would fit.

    Guessing most know this already but I was up North fork road and the wash out is pretty bad. The road is undercut and getting worse. It was after dark when I was there and I didnt feel like giving it a try to get across. Motorcycle no worries, truck eh...

    Are floor mats a mod?
    Anyone want a pair of stock fogs? Might come in handy if u get a rock break or bad bulb. They have laminex film on them. Free.

    I just don't have the time to go pick it up anytime soon and my buddy whose shop it would go in is off the grid for a few days.

    I imagine it'll sell by the time he's back.

    Well, it's a $62.50 risk, if you're down.

    I'd go halfsies if I could have access to it :)

    I messaged the guy as well. I may just buy it and try to make it fit in my tiny garage.

    I want to take alllll the preload off the coilovers and get a shorter spring in the rear. Wanted 2" all around and got just over 3" in the front, and 4" in the rear.

    I wouldn't worry, it'll settle about 1/2" I bet after a few times out then what ever weight you put in/on the vehicle.
