    I might be home by then. As of right now my wedding is December 8th and my trip in California has been extended another week. I'm getting a little burnt out with this place.

    That one had tan/black interior (which imo looks like vomit). This one I had to order in with the black/grey interior. I drove the other one...not sure why I knew how it drove.

    I let the rims go...they were cheap and out of round or something from discount tire so I didn't want them. Had them put my duratracs on the factory 16" off-road wheels. (Well previous year offroad wheels) Already missing my 5100's though!

    I can get the 5100's at cost through my soon to be wife. They carry Bilstien at her work. So for under 300 bucks I can get all 4 corners. Hard to pass it up. However, some coil overs would be frickin killer! How are they for hauling heavier loads?

    Coilovers would be fine for heavier loads. Only need a heavier spring if you are planning on a plate bumper.

    I am running Bilstein 5100s all the way around with OME coilsprings up front (mediums) and a 10MM spacer. Right now I have AALs (custom ones from my buddy's shop) and a "1 block. It gets loaded right down with the RTT and a lot of other camping gear and mine still rides great.

    I am debating on some OME Dakars for the back in the future though.
