    Little standoffs from the center of the truck. Kind of blends in with that pic, but it's not the LCA. Its on the same bar that the IFS skid mounts.

    I'm trying really hard to get back to Hawaii... problem is... I'm going to Korea for a year with no guarantee of Hawaii after... just praying to the assignment gods, hoping they will smile on my pour soul.

    I'm glad I cant go to anywhere that bad. My worst assignment would be Grand Forks or Offut. I'm fine with Hawaii or Italy... Germany or England would be nice... Colorado or Florida if I'm coming back CONUS.

    Oregon rains too much for me (depending on what part). I like Colorado, beautiful state... still can't blaze though because of Uncle Sam.

    I'd be living in Corvallis for school. I've been through Denver, Golden, and Boulder for a week on a trip I took using 70E. Stunning scenery. I need to check out Fort Collins, too.

    I had no choice unfortunately. It was take it, or not be able to reenlist. But Montana is really nice and the wheeling/outdoors is great compared to the DC area.

    Ah, I'm Navy. I'd still come here. They ended up making me take something significant worse... MI.

    Reason I ask is because I had a very rare opportunity to work for him and protect his aircraft (AF2) wherever he went for his last 2 1/2 years of service. Was definitely a highlight of my career so far.

    Nice Kyle! You finally got it on. So was cutting the bumper difficult? Did you get your hands on a jigsaw? Was nice seeing the blue waffle in person!

    That's a sweet gig right there. I actually missed meeting Obama here on island a few years ago due to a miscommunication about plans and he popped open a door right beside my good friends and they got pics with him and Michelle. Prettt cool stuff.

    Buddy used a circular blade (I didn't have a saw) and cut through the bumper. I hung all the lights on it while be cut and we walked it right onto the studs.

    How's yours coming along?

    I still didnt have a chance to install the shocks yet. I just got the truck back from Servco so I wanted to drive it around a few weeks to get a feel again of the sport suspension before I change them out.

    You're about to install a real sport suspension! You'll love the change.

    Took a love tap to the hitch today. Guess I need a rear bumper now, right? :drunk:
