    I don't trust the "pros." :)

    They only care about getting things in spec. I had mine aligned after my lift, and it was just in spec.

    Later, I had it realigned at Big Bear Tire in Oconomowoc and they got it perfect! 0° toe, 0° camber, 3.9° caster.

    Also, if anyone is looking for a good alignment in the S/E Wisconsin area, Performance Off-road in Waukesha now has their own table.

    I don't either. But, when they fucked me over on that CV boot tear, I went back and held them accountable. Might educate them...

    Oh and...

    Haha! I saw your post about the CV boot in your build thread. I'm glad they took care of it.

    I saw that at the liquor store in Crandon, too! How is it?

    When I dropped it off, they said they had to wait for the tech that worked on it the day before to see if they were at fault.

    Didn't hear from them for a few hours and then they called saying it was being finished up. The service manager informed me that they couldn't determine if it was them or not. I said, "well it drove in to your shop without it and drove out with a hole."

    They didn't charge me anything.

    I'm not a beer expert. I have say I like this beer. It's not heavy or light. No bitter taste.

    I did drink it from a glass. Always goes down smoother.

    I have a Mobtown Offroad Steel IFS Skidplate (gen 1) available if anyone localish is in the market for it. It's pretty filthy and I can clean it up for ya, but a surface scrub and new paint will do wonders. Currently it's just taking up space in my garage and I'd like to gone before I move. Price is very flexible.

    Let me know! I'm going to need a head count and see what everyone is doing as far as tent/truck camping, etc.

    It's been super dry up there. We went through that mud pit you found last fall on Saturday.
