This, lol

 

Pretty valid for most all of us

 

Yo! It's good to know that you're mostly okay. Welcome back!





Also,

 

I hear that. Hopefully nothing but good things henceforth.

Thanks, it's good to see ya guys again. Hopefully I can get more active.

 

Why do I get the sense that you've had things happening beyond the usual grind of despair?

 

Burst water pipes from an above apartment, apartment negligence, mold growing, shady business practices. Renters insurance had us in hotel, but we couldn't find a new place until very last minute on verge of being pushed to streets.

We found a nice place now, settling in quite nicely.

 

Always nice to hear good news like this. Glad it's working out for you.

 

Thank you!

Now I just need to get my lady out to experience some wheeling for the first time.

 

Same here. Wife has been indoors her whole life but we've been slowing getting outdoors. Camped at a few places before the cold nights came and they went well. Convinced her that we could buy a pop up that a friend of mine is selling. I'd say take your time with it and make it fun.

 

Apparently this is been my thing for 10 years now

 

I've only managed to take her to Iowa for a short weekend getaway. I did find a few potential off road camp spots but she wasn't comfortable with it yet. I really want to take her to MOAB and Top of the World.

 

I've really enjoyed the Alpine Loop out in CO in the Summer. It's pretty good for views and not super intense for new people.

Yeah, I did that early summer. Was amazing.

2 of my favorite camp spots are in SW CO. Alta Lakes and somewhere east of it.

 

Couple things. First we will be departing Leavenworth about 8:00ish AM tomorrow headed for Tuttle. The plan is to be there about 10:00ish AM. We will hang out near the bathroom at the beginning of the trails for a bit to give people time to show up. We will be running GMRS channel 6 if you get out there and nobody is there. I know I have me and a Jeep going and I have a passenger that knows the area. All are welcome to come along.

Second thing. Who has a coil compressor that will fit on Sport coilovers? I tried two different ones and neither of them would fit. I have a Westcott front lift sitting waiting to be put on and Icon AAL option 3. Yes I know it will still have some rake to it. There will be about 500 pound added to the rear between the shell/bumper/tire/ect. Also if anyone wants to help put it all on it would be rewarded with cheap beer, pizza and a firm handshake.

 

There are ways to do it without, but all of them are super sketchy. I don't want to loan out somebody else's tools, but I know somebody who has one.

 

I really try to stay away from sketchy. It usually ends very badly when I try them.

 

A decent wall mounted compressor will fit any coilover that isn't going on a Baja truck

 

Unfortunately, O'reilly's doesn't rent out the good ones.

 

then goes mia for another year lol
