    Yes sadly it's getting sold. I'm coming to terms with it and starting the prep this weekend. Love for it to go to @SixthSnail.

    11.5" ish of 4WD travel bumped and "strapped". Happy with that. Kind of makes me want to build lower control arms and build a 3.5" over kit for like 16", but I don't really want the width. So this is fine until SAS.

    This is full droop. Tire is still on the ground. Makes a 37 look tiny. Maybe I should throw a 31 on there for comparison hahaha

    Sweet! Is the shock the limiting factor?

    Shock limits uptravel, CV limits downtravel

    Edit- I should clarify haha. The shock limits downtravel, but that’s easy to just put another shaft in there that would give me more downtravel. However, the CV limits travel if the shock was removed. So there’s no reason in doing that

    It cost me a whopping $0.00 I know the owner as well. It runs well, but the interior is toast. He used it as a work truck. Won’t take much to turn it around. He had a kid and couldn’t do the work on it himself. I wrap it up so I’m rolling in disposable income and time

    I like my dog. He is much less maintenance than a kid and I even think he's expensive lol. Definitely have some time before real kids.

    Also, anybody who's raised labs have advice for teaching him what he's allowed to chew on other than yelling/smacking him on the nose whenever he chews something he's not supposed to? He's teething so I feel bad but my arm when I'm sleeping is not a chew toy lol.

    He loves trash too...

    Labs are some of the smartest but so damn stubborn. They DGAF about being popped.

    I got him a rope toy while I was in South Carolina and he didn't put it down for 2 days, then he got bored. I thought I had found the best thing ever haha.
    Dude I love that dog. Part of that reason is his DGAF attitude haha. So stoked to have a big dog finally. I can already tell he's smart, he just needs to learn to not use his smarts to try to trick me so he can eat trash when I'm not looking lol.

    He's part hound dog so hes super lanky. Gonna be a tall dog. Big paws too.
