    Love it. I had the Campfire but send it back, too small. Have the Ranger now and we use it several times a week at home and every time we camp.

    Ive been looking at the Bonfire model. Do you have the stand? They have a couple bundle deals going on now, that are cheaper than Amazon.

    It was snowing in Greenwood when we left, but it's clearing up the farther east we get.

    It's taken me all day at work. And I'm worn out now even though it wasn't that difficult. I'm not use to manual labor! :D But the end result IMHO is perfect! It's just the right amount of lift. And my fear of the 886s were unfounded. So far I love the suspension. It's hard to explain...yes it's stiffer but it feels compliant and more controlled. Going over rough patches in the road, I don't feel any sharpness or bounciness. Time will tell how the 5100s handle the 886s.

    Thanks @SR-71A for the wheels and @SearArtist for the coils and shocks!

    I want to give a HUGE thanks to all involved this 3 month TW Express down the east coast from Maine to SC! Please forgive me if I miss anyone. I have the list of usernames written down at work, but I'm home.

    I'm now at 23" hub to fender. Which is a 2.75" lift from stock. Also can't find the 1/4" spacer for the taco lean anywhere! No idea what I did with it. And I want to install that before I do the alignment. So I'll have to take it back apart next week and work and do the alignment. Luckily my good friend is a mechanic at the car dealership I work at. So he's going to install it for me and do the alignment. He has a GX470 with Dobinson suspension. The GX and Taco suspension are pretty much identical.
