    Is this an appropriate place to try and sell a couple things or is it frowned on? For example, headlights or things that are costly to ship but could be delivered from Bemidji.

    I might be picking up some new suspension parts in the next few days, would anyone in the cities be willing to help me install them if I do?

    Heres bunch of pics. I took way more of course but some of the cooler ones. So we ended up just mostly doing hiking. Did one minimum maintenance road/high clearance road but it wasn't anything crazy. All of the best vistas are at the hikes pretty much. I had a few recommendations from some guys here in the Texas forum for 4x4 trails but with my family I really didn't want to subject them to 5-6 hour rough roads with views that weren't as good as the hikes lol. I also have a sorta shitty video on my other youtube channel, i just show some of the hikes and the campground we stayed at which I really liked.

    few of the hikes really worth doing, the window (pictured below looking out through the crack), closed canyon trail (which is actually in the state park but its worth checking out the south side of the state park for that hike and some of the views along the river highway), the hot springs, and emory peak.

    Emory Peak is the highest point of the park. took about 3 hours to get to the top, over 2700 feet elevation change, so if you're out of shape it might be too much. I haven't hiked like this in years but I am in ok shape and do some cardio so it wasn't too bad for me at all. It gets a bit rocky tho, and if you watch the video at the bottom you do have to climb up 20+ feet of rock to get to the very top. I am not a rock climber, hate rock climbing so I didn't like that part but since I was there I had to make the top.

    Looks like a lot of fun. I'm the guy who just bought your stock suspension.

    Well then the guy I bought it from has the exact same setup as you.

    Lifted '17 trd offroad, same color, same topper, same tires and I believe he even had a rack on the top like yours.

    Hmm big coincidence then because it wasn't me haha. I still have my stock Bilstein shocks in my garage, I did just happen to give me old leafs to a friend this weekend. The only thing I've sold was my old wheels.

    That's exactly what I picked up too. Shocks for all 4 corners, the leaf springs had already gone.

    Noice! If I end up buying new bolt-on sliders I think it'll be exactly those. Let us know how they go.

    I love that brace-tube towards the rear that they do.

    I’ve been running mobtown sliders for 4yrs now, perfectly bolt on and strong enough for the rocks and tees I’ve shoved them into. Only issue was the bolt behind the fuel tank on a 2g.

    Cowboy Jacks is a great place to hang out with the 40 something ladies. I try to stay out of bars, and that one is strong on the list.

    second this, im around town this weekend but depends on where.

    also I am curious who it was you bought the shocks from. I live and work in the southwest suburbs. I have seen someone in bloomington with a quicksand tacoma and a topper but I don't think it was the exact same topper, but had the same TRD wheels. Also seen someone up near duluth with a quicksand with a topper too a few times, but I don't think I have seen anyone with a topper and roof rack. I just got the roof rack maybe 4-5 months ago.
