    Saw that this morning. If you haven't seen the tube channel LEO Round Table, they're pretty decent breakdowns of these type videos with a bunch of retired LEOs...worth a view when you are police bodycam/Darwin award nominees.

    Don't even need sound to know she's a tweaker. She was pretty skilled at acting disinterested though.

    I normally give a wide benefit of the doubt, but that was pretty obvious that there was something under that bandana thing just by the way its folded over.

    As usual though: play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

    It doesn't fit the narrative, so it won't be reported.

    Isolated incident, move along citizen.

    Now that I have my front end riding smooth with these softer coils, I can really feel a difference in my back end. I currently have the two year old dakars and 12"x2.0 King smoothies and driving around town I can really feel small bumps in the road. The front end will float over it and the back is a little jarring.

    My next step in the build will be to focus on the rear. My rear shocks aren't too old, and have like 15,000 miles on them maybe? Not leaking or anything so don't necessarily need a rebuild, but I want them custom tuned. My plan, for now, is to sell them, and purchase new ones from Accutune because they come custom valved. With my ass being so light the shocks are just too stiff. They'd do well on a heavier truck. I could mail them in and have them tuned, but at that point I may as well have them rebuilt while they're apart so it makes more money sense to just buy new ones.

    For my leafs, I still have research to do. I like deavers obviously but they're ~$1,100. I'm looking at the icon rxt pack right now because they seem like a nice progressive pack and only provide 2" lift on the lightest configuration, which I like. They're also sub $700.

    When I pull off my dakars and Kings I'm going to be selling for super duper cheap ($300 takes it all) because they're nice and used, but still have a decent amount of life left.

    Their MMR shocks really have my eye as well. Adjustable HSC/LSC and Rebound are a game changer

    I have and those are the other ones I'll be researching as well. I just want something soft as shit because I have a really light bed. Fully loaded down for a trip, some napkin math puts me around 280 pounds of gear in the back, but I cut out a chunk of my bed, some frame rail and have a fairly light rear bumper now so I'd say a net gain of 240 pounds, which really isn't much. I don't know if the dobinson will be a good fit for that, but that's what I'll be researching.
