    Anybody have any rear Kings sitting around for a 2nd gen or some tc uppers?
    I'm piecing together my new suspension for my 2014. As of now I have my front coilovers and wheelers 3pack.

    anyone have a tailgate bike pad they wanna get rid of? Figured this would be the easiest way to haul bikes around in the bed. cable lock through to the bed stiffeners should do it.

    If you don't want to buy one new, just use a moving blanket. As long as you turn the front wheel sideways over the tailgate they wont move around, and you can still do cable lock to secure if you need to step away. I did that for a few months till I shelled out the 150 bucks for a nice one.

    Going to meet up at my place in Palomino Valley this Sunday and hit a trail. The run can be shorter or longer (goes all the way to Pyramid) depending on the individual or group preference. All trucks welcome. Dirt bikes would have a lot of fun too. This is a family friendly event. DM me if interested.

    Wasn't expecting town to be blanketed in snow. There wasn't any new snow in Cold Springs.

    I don't think any of us were. I saw so many accidents and so many idiots in their tiny compact cars with pizza cutter tires spinning and wondering why they cant drive. Has anyone here ridden the enduro bike race in Ely?

    Too many to list, and I've probably forgotten a bunch.
    I was listening to the NWS station while I was playing with the pup last night. I don't know how many times I heard "lake effect snow", but it was enough to give me a solid hint.

    Gave the pup an extra blanket and a little extra food, and went to bed. Woke up to the school calling for the 2 hour delay, went downstairs, and cut the pup loose outside.

    He's like a cokehead in this powdery stuff. :D

    Both my big dogs are Husky mix so this is what they live for. Wish we had got some more up where I'm at.

    I tried to break loose and all I did was launch, either the GX has a great 4wd system or the Toyo ATIII's are too grippy. Probably both.

    So I'll be needing new tires soon. looking at going up in size. Want to also throw on 5100's or eibach's "stage 1" shocks and a 1 inch block in the rear in order to clear. Or I'll splurge and get a 1.5 inch AAL. Anyone here able to help me put this stuff on? I don't have any power tools or jacks unfortunately. If possible I'd also like to learn and help as much as possible so I'd rather not have a shop do it. I'd gladly pay you.

    Or, does anyone have any shop recommendations in town that's affordable work, but you still trust what they do.

    Also if anyone's got any used stuff lyin around that I could buy off you, feel free to post up

    that would honestly be perfect. Will let me work this summer for some cash before hand. I'll definitely be on the lookout. And if you want a helping hand with anything I'll work for free, hell I'll give ya some beer money to let me hangout and observe.
