subd AF!

 

YAAAS!

 

5.11 Store at Kenwood Mall

 

We hope that you enjoy the ease of install and how they function for your needs! Can't wait to hear your review.

 

Very interested in comparing to the bumpstop for my situation! Granted, I think what you’re sending is a SES helper spring which is a completely different function from the active bumpstop but mounts in the same location.

Regardless, thank you for your proactive communication to my inquiry and great appreciation for the opportunity to use and test your spring product. Have loved the quality and functionality of the Timbren bumpstop thus far!!!

 

I'd say I've talked to him then, think i know everybody that works there.

 

We need a meet/ trail run with as many members as we can find

 

Yup. They're pretty good at what they do. Always working on crazy rock bouncers and stuff like that.

 

Holy wow. I can't believe I almost missed it. Happy Birthday, @EdinCincinnati! 11:32 and I just got it in!

 

You will do this once, maybe twice. Then you will decide that you prefer to get into whatever group your truck is capable of following and, you as a driver, feel comfortable following.

4 vehicles/drivers can be a lot if they aren't equally capable. 12 trucks moving through the woods all with good drivers and properly built trucks can cover some ground because you aren't stopping as often for people getting stuck. But add one truck with a less-than-capable driver and street tires, a leader that missed the "correct" trail post, and you'll be sitting in a swampy mess at the bottom of a valley in Rush, KY for hours...
Even some of us that were very capable got hung up, you'll have that in knee deep mud though.

There's the annual LBL meet every late Feb/early March. Usually ~30+ folks show up.

 

You sound a little bitter there, Deeds...

 

Its definitely not based on experience, oh no, definitely not. Also, I finally cleaned my winch after that debacle....

But I agree with Deed's assessment. I hate big groups and like to roll with a smaller crew. Personal preference, 4-5 trucks (equally built) with drivers of minimal-vast experience.

 

Well i stand corrected then. As far as my truck goes, it's pretty capable. On the other hand, i have zero experience wheeling. Nowhere right by me and nobody to do it with, so i've never done it.

 

I've got enough armor to belly slide wherever i need to go

 

I also have a very strange anathema for 6+ rides/gatherings. I can do like, camping for 1 night.....



maybe

 

I'm not bitter at all about it. I enjoy the big gatherings, just not ON the trail when I'm driving. Serve me beers and lemme navigate or yell on the radio ( @Jibbs and @beertimecontinuum ) all night long and I'm gravy baby!
I've had my experiences with massive truck meets and seeing all the cool builds giving my stock AF self envy and ideas, now I'm over it and just want LT, beadlocks, and 40s

 

Aaaaaand I helped!

 

Deeds remember that time everyone got asschapped cause I made bomb-ass sandwiches the one time we stopped like we hadnt been sitting around doing fuck all for an hour already that day?
