    All-Pro Offroad 3" suspension lift, 1" body lift, 33.4" Toyo Opencountry MTs on 17" ProComp rock crawlers.
    I'm still against lift kits with spacers. I did new leaf springs and new front coilovers ( I also did upper a-arms but that's optional...) and it was cheaper than a lift kit but I feel it's more stable.

    Kicklighter, Assuming that you are referring to the lift blocks), I currently have 3/1 OEM leafs (off of a 2012 TRD Sport) with the Wheelers 3/1 leafs & a 1" steel block. If I go through with the Spindle lift I would need to add 1 more inch of lift for the rear in order to avoid being leveled out or nose high. If I am not happy with that set-up afterwards then I will eventually buy rear leaf packs but I don't want the ride to be any more firm than what it is now. I may also have to buy a driveshaft spacer (in between the diff & shaft).

    Not sure yet if I will go this route or leave as-is.

    If we all go have full OME lifts put on our trucks, I'm sure we could get a good deal...

    Just a thought..think about it. Lol

    Hello everyone,

    I'll be here next weekend:
    http://www.waynes-world.com/page4.html
    Taking my son & 2 friends.
    5 hour drive from my house. Gonna head out Friday evening around 7 and head back Sunday night.
    Boring for me since I have nothing to do once I drop them off since I may not be able to spectate.
    Definitely looking forward to the 15th @ Corbett!

    My wife & I have mountain bikes (nothing fancy) but it seems that every time we want to ride something comes up.

    As for the trails, I'm gonna look into that. I saw that Hardrock place but that's too technical & hardcore for my truck. Though I read that some parts are 2WD friendly.

    So i guess ill post this here to see if anyone may be
    Interested.

    Leer fiberglass camper shell
    -sliding windows on sides and front of the camper.
    -fit for 6ft bed.
    -obviously black
    -Lockable rear door with one key.
    -optional third light (just needs to be re-wired )
    -capreted inside for resistance of heat

    Had it on my old truck want to sell it to go with a different
    Kind of camper shell.

    Looking to get 1600 or best offer. I think its a reasonable
    Price for a leer camper.

    If anyone is interested please pm me or text me.
    Ill get more pictures if anyone is really interested.

    Always liked the look of the soft toppers, but here in So.Fla, I'd be worried about some idiot going at it with a knife...

    Not too worried about that because im
    Only going to have it up when i need to use
    It.

    Plus it doesnt lock so if they really want something
    Inside they can just grab. Hell ill leave the window
    Open for them haha. I never leave anything back there
    Of importance.

    If anyone knows someone that maybe interested please
    Let them know about this camper. Thanks guys

    It's a sad day...

    Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it to Cirtus. My company is merging with another company on Jan 6, so that weekend is especially out.
