    That is beautiful! I really like the look of the hybrid bumpers in general.

    I've debated a lower profile front bumper. Defeats the purpose of protecting the front end though.

    Pulled the trigger officially on the BHLM set of lights!

    Also Monday, going to the twat with randy! And potosi, anyone interested? Or route reccomendations

    Probably thinking of collisions with animals/obstacles higher up - they will provide greater clearance and protection from coming down onto terrain.

    That said, when done right, full hoops just look sexy and, for that reason alone, are superior. Imo.

    Hoops protect lights, well give better protection then if I did a super low profile plate that only protected the bumper. Correct me if I'm wrong there but it also depends on what you hit lol

    Oh, gotcha. And, I agree! I might switch to a full hybrid setup in a few years for the same reason. And, maybe a little bit for aesthetics.:)

    planning on hitting the T.w.t. and stopping at Potosi brewery for lunch and a beer.
    1st one is on me!
    So far it’s cipher94 and me. Anyone is welcome to join!

    Leaving Milwaukee/Racine area 5:30am and meeting up near the 12/18 Madison bypass at 7-7:30am

    Looks like a good chance of rain Monday so the trail should be fun. If interested shoot me a text and I’ll send out more info Sunday afternoon.

    A free beer at Potosi brewery!!!!!!

    see ya Monday!

    Watch the shoulders of the trail I guess they are real soft after all the rain. 3 girls in a Dodge moved over to allow a oncoming UTV room to get around them and the shoulder gave away and they just about rolled it.

    A few hours. (3-4 hours) I’ve never been on it and got a day to kill. It’s 7-8 hrs of driving for me round trip just to get there. Plus add on the important part... the Brewery!

    It’s tempting... I should be at work but it’s very slow right now.

    Beer is bad for my diet! Then again, everything else is too.

    Probably potosi to Lansing or so. Maybe a little more depending on how fast you move and how much you stop.

    Is the bridge back open? A couple weeks ago it was closed so we drove up to LaCrosse.

    I just figured ending a Potosi for lunch. But the brewery might open mid morning!

    Ending at the brewery might be the smarter idea.... just saying.
