    Now that I'm only 5 days away from being back in AK, I'm officially on the hunt for an extended cab V6 5 speed 1st gen, 4x4 of course. Really want an 01-04 TRD but will consider others for the right deal. If anyone comes across one hit me up!

    My pops is driving an 05 up from Georgia this week, so there will be one less 1st gen hunter in town. Your odds just got better :)

    I think Jim creek is out for this month, waters gonna make it unpassable, I'm not willing to lose my rig out there. We've still got the 26th on the books, however I might not make it out to sutton. I know nicks gonna head out regardless, it being as warm as its been I think most places is just going to be slop. Not super interested in playing around in that. I can wait for the weather to do its thing again.

    Just remembered I have tickets to that cirque mechanics thing at the PAC on the 26th. Son of a B. Doesn't sound like many will go to Sutton anyway with the weather we've been having though.

    a CB antenna is a CB antenna. It'd work fine but the ones we sell are very stiff fiberglass. They wouldn't last long hitting branches on trails. And it'd cost you a lot more than a firestick or other offroad antenna.

    Also, in the process of typing that message, my laptop cord shorted or something. It got so hot I couldn't touch it. When I tried to pull it out of my laptop the cord actually ripped in two pieces. Great. I guess I'll be using my phone for a while on here haha.
