    I think your timing, weather wise, is sound given it’s opposite of when I’ve gone. Spring/fall are the comfortable times. Try to get to Father Crowley Canyon, aka Jedi Junction, Starwars Canyon, the military jets usually come whipping through around noon or so. They actually go below the overlook, it’s pretty amazing.

    We had some rain and cold up near the Geologist's cabin, but otherwise the temps were good. I think we missed the bloom by a couple of weeks. This year has been so dry, I don't know when the flowers will come up. As long as there isn't any monsoon moisture moving in, Spring is a good time to visit.

    It's been so dry this year, I'm not sure there will be a bloom at all this year.

    Did you guys miss by being too late or too early?

    Just a week or so early. There was some floral activity, but it looked like it was just starting.

    Carrier bearing drop, what’s the name of the online company everyone recommends? I’m brain farting on the name, I even got my flip kit from them

    Went from 3rd Gen Taco to 3GT4R to 2nd Gen Taco and finally a V8 4GT4R.
    Anyone know of any kitchen/bathroom remodelers in the Central Valley? We are getting all the materials ourselves so basically we would need to have someone just install. Bathroom demo is complete.

    I think you got most of your stuff from DownSouth or Filthy Motorsports.

    Carrier bearing drop is just, basically, washers... you can get it from pretty much anywhere that lists it for your truck.

    Yeah I know it’s nothing too special, but I finally remembered it’s Headstrong off road. I got my super bumps, extended brake lines, and carrier barrier drop kit from them and my friend was asking and I could not remember. Just didn’t think this forum would take a minute to answer... :)
