    Not quite dead. In a coma and on life support. Every few weeks there's signs of consciousness renewing our hope... So we wait...

    @Sleipnir Was it hard to cut your exhaust? Did you do anything besides simply pick a point and cut it off? Notice any change is sound/volume? I hate how it hangs down. Just gets banged up when off-roading.

    No wasn't bad at all to cut it. I think I might maybe notice a different sound when full throttle but haven't noticed really. @Texoma let me borrow the sawzall and I went to town. My exhaust took some skin and blood from him too when he was getting the tail pipe off when I couldn't:anonymous:

    Wouldn't you like to know!

    Thanks for the heads up! I have decided against the OR suspension though...mainly because @Texoma talked me out of it :D also I can get dealer pricing on Bilstein 5100's and I bet I can find someone's OME coils and add a leaf here. Or just pick those pieces up new from @HeadStrong Off-Road. It will be a piece together as I get the funds type project but I hope that by the end of the year I can piece everything together...But I have to fix my leaking timing cover first. That is #1 on the priority list as of right now :thumbsup: I think that I am going with the same lift as @Sleipnir.

    Leander Car Show has moved to the evenings now, with the first one of 2017 later this month. From their FB post, and I can't argue with the vehicle they have chosen to use as their profile picture!

    I will be camping at Colorado Bend SP that weekend, but I am interested. Would be cool if we could get a group of us at this or other similar car shows. Feels like an excuse to get together :)

    Killer Deal right there!

    :rofl: I was merely thinking about that as a cheaper option to add some lift and freshen up my 160,000 mile suspension...which needs refreshing badly, I tear up those speed bumps haha. But I have waited this long so no need to jump the gun on something I wasn't 100% sure about.
