    Sooo how much of that show is staged? :D :p
    Can we do my axles? Anyone have jackstands? And of course an assortment of tools.
    Nice, that won't be too difficult since they're together already, unless you need to swap shocks or something

    Nah its all going in just like it is. Just have to order rear shocks since they were toast. DSM's website is giving me problems, trying to get some extended 5100's. Did order my switches today though from OTTRAW.

    Yeah I was surprised when you said it was baking. He said $250 and he brought it down because you showed up and I told him a few more may as well. I'll see what a 6-pack and cash does too haha.

    Naw, nothing with any fire department, but we have a large crew of safety should anything go wrong. You training in Girdwood? You being sent to the fires?

    :p Even on the few down days they're outside in the cold living off rice, beans, fiddleheads and anything they can hunt (generally squirrels right now). Any one of them can perish, along with any of the crew, while filming, and that's no exaggeration. Definitely not child's play on this show, which is why they're elite competitors and sportsmen. :)

    Can I make a motion?

    Not sure who the ruling council is here but I would like to decree that from this point forward we will refer to people's houses as "igloos"

    example: "Mod day will be at Ben's igloo, please bring condoms and cucumbers."

    It will be amazing, I promise

    Just so we are clear. That was an example. Not RL.

    Would be funny to share stories about horrified cashiers if we actually did do that.
