    Where was this taken at? It almost looks like the west end of Bois Blanc Island.

    UP side, on the west side of the bridge. If you look on google maps you'll see Boulevard Dr which runs along the lakeshore. Follow that out to the tip right near the island and that's where it is.

    If you go to street view on that tip/corner you can see the same angle pretty much

    Jay nice pic.

    We have to get a trip together. This weekend instead of working on my Tacoma I put a lift on a Jeep. Anyhow jeeps are starting to surround the wounded toyota sitting on jack stands :(.

    The jeeps are on the prowl chris, they know they dont hold a candle to your rig off road if it has tires on it.

    On the other side of things i just bought a 2009 DCSB super white about an hour ago. traded in little ol' red suzie for her.

    Actually the green one is girl driven. I'll remember that comment next time.

    Brandon: good to hear you stayed with the good guys.



    Jay: I should be ready in a few weeks. May be at silver lake this weeekend with the jeeps, a bronco, and quads. Depends if I have parts to finish the truck.

    Rear is on :D

    Chris I tried using the cut ubolts but those only allowed about half of the nut to be actually on the bolt so I ended up having to use the longer ubolts

    The rear is a world of difference, since my previous shocks were beat to hell, leaking, and rusty lol so not nearly as much wheel hop accelerating over bumps now

    The front's nice, but I think i'll bring them up to 1.5" instead of the 1" they are now so they more closely match the rear

    What did you put in Jake? I missed it. AAL and 1500s all around? I so want to do that, waiting for my wife to get a more full time job, and she's waiting on the kids to get into school all day. So looks like I'll be stock for a while yet :/

    Nice to see the pics of our Mighty Mac bridge. For you midwesterners here who don't know, those of us in Michigan that live below the bridge (in the southern penninsula), are know as 'Trolls' (get it, we live under the bridge). I'm old enough to very vaguely recall taking the ferry across the straits, the bridge being under construction at the time. I was 6 when the bridge opened for travel-- but I still recall that exciting trip across on the ferry..
