    I found his website and filled out the required contact info. We'll see what happens. Some of these guys have all the skills I need but they refuse to work outside of specific venues they specialize in.
    So thanks. What I need is pretty uncomplicated, and even that can turn off people that are only interested in "going viral" potential.

    Hopefully he'll contact you soon. If you don't hear from him in next couple of days he might be out in the wild.

    Big fire south of us. Monroe Mountain. We got an emergency alert late afternoon on the phones. Lots of places evacuated. Red sun last night and this morning, and ashes falling.

    I'm in moab right now and there was a bunch of smoke haze from the south fires. There is one to the east. It's not bad this morning as far as I can tell.

    Can anyone near SLC come save the day with an 1/2 impact wrench. I'm 0/2 against some CV axle nuts.

    Well, I haven't been contacted by Crispy Visual, and maybe because we'd already talked in the past. I've talked to all kinds of people that do videos, but for some reason if you don't want exactly what their "specialty" is they can't think beyond their niche. Seriously... wedding photographers, outdoor video gurus, family photographers. They ALL have the equipment and know how to use it, but if you aren't having a wedding they can't use their equipment to video a guy sitting and talking.
    I'm trying to find someone close to Salina, but I could probably do all five videos as a single shoot in 3 hours... if someone could operate three cameras at one time. And I even have a camera with sound capability I could donate to the cause.
    I've tried videoing myself. I can do the work with a single camera but the editing is tripping me up. Downloading from the camera to a computer is tripping me up. And I haven't even tried whatever is necessary to start a YouTube site.
    I figure five videos, fifteen minutes long, three cameras doing a single shoot in three hours, editing and loading to Youtube... should take less than 5 hours per video which would be a hundred bucks an hour.
    No takers...

    Even if it takes twice as long it's $50 an hour.

    Have any of you had a meet up before? Maybe run a trail or two somewhere. Not sure how many members are here in Utah. I'm pretty much stock but looking to upgrade my suspension soon.

    Sorry to hear my referral didn't work out for you. I have no control of what people do or don't do.

    Of course. I've been laboring under the impression that lots of people post to YouTube... which would mean they could do this job easily... but so far what I thought would be the easy part has been the big obstacle.
    I appreciate the referral anyways.

    Any good recommendations for a place to get a GOOD alignment around the Sugarhouse area?
    I live near the BigO on highland and they didn’t do a very good job on alignment last time I went in.
    Thx all!

    Just to clarify - I’m lifted just under 2”. Need a shop that knows how to align lifted trucks. Last time I took my old truck into The BigO by my house they told me they couldn’t align it because the Bilstein 6112s were set at different levels on both sides, like they are supposed to be to counter taco lean ‍:facepalm:

    Rlt I hear is the place to go. Going to have them do my suspension once I figure out my camper set up. Went there last year and Miles is solid guy.

    not enough.
    +1 for RLT for suspension work. I'm not sure if they do alignment in house or go to another shop. But either way, still a solid shop to send your truck over to.

    I gotta say... I think alignment is a lost art or something. I am unimpressed with the level of training and experience at shops.
