    Auburn Car Repair & Offroad is the shop I go to. It's a nasty long drive up from Olympia, but they are amazing guys and worth the miles. North of there, I don't know :eek:

    It would suck for anything bigger than a 2nd gen, and most likely undoable. As for us... it proves a good challenger for TSF as being one of the most badass places to go.

    Always...Not im worrying in the future i may load my bed and need the expo pack - but if i don't load it i'd have 4" in the back which would be 1" more than i want.

    If you don't draw blood, you're doing it wrong!
    I would go with the Expos. Increased payload, better clearance on high inclines, and less chance of any "bro-lean". It may give you a slight rake and/or a stiffer ride, but I think the performance benefits outweigh the cosmetic appearance.

    Yeah. its a debatable one for sure. I'm lookin' at the expo's, just due to the weight I have between toolbox and headache rack. Plus I'm lookin' to buy a camper next year.

    yeah and i have a full took box = around 2-300 lbs. I plan to put a compressor back there and a tank so maybe expos will be more beneficial in the future!

    Sounds like it. I'm almost thinkin' bout gettin' the leafs done before I redo the front suspension.

    Has anyone been to the Skibowl Adventure park? I want to go this coming up Sunday but don't want to wait on the phone waiting for them to pick up. Tried looking for e-mail on their website but only has one for the web master. I just want to know if I had to make reservations or not.

    Anyone interested in 4.56 gears and a front arb locker? I'm getting rid of mine and will sell for 1500 installed (I swap with your stock 3.73s) Front gears have about 40-45k miles on them and the rear was replaced under warranty and has 2k miles on it. I will only swap if you have the factory e locker with similar miles.
