    speaking of the beach, my roommate and I pulled in a 53'' Leopard yesterday right in front of the Biltmore. For the size of this thing I thought it would put up a bigger fight? :notsure:

    Decent size or local waters....

    I don't recall ever seeing one that big. I see them all the time out at Devereux...close to shore.

    Ah - I remember now! I wasn't sure if it was you, but the green bike looked familiar from a picture you posted a while back. Right on. Did you get a good look at Frankie the Adventure Dawg?

    I've got a good amount of 1/4'' Plexi sitting around in my garage. You can have whatever you need. no idea if that would work for your application tho. :notsure:

    Got the truck washed and the squealing almost went away...I'm going to try blasting the rear drums with the hose later; I'm thinking I just had too much sand for my own good in there.

    I might be headed up to big sur for some camping that weekend but Ocotillo is always tons of fun. If you get some people going down there, I might have to put off Big sur

    I might be going to Monache Meadows (above Kennedy Meadows) if you're up for the detour! Not much in the way of 4x4, but lots of single track dirt biking

    If it works out, I'll be camping on Friday the 8th and Saturday the 9th in Monache in the way back by a creek (if there's water). There is a 4x4 trail if you come up to Kennedy Meadows from the west side called Sherman Pass 4x4 trail.

    Monache and Kennedy are a bit out of the way to camp for the night since from the 395 it's up a long windy paved road and takes a while. Monache is slower dirt road with big whoops and higher elevation.

    There was water back there on Memorial Day when I went up there. So beautiful out there.

    The hardest part of Monache. I didnt go to Shermans but I heard its pretty tough.

    Does anybody know what psi my Fox piggybacks should be at in the rear? My rear end bounces like a twerking tween at a Miley Cyrus concert. Running J66 Deaver leafs. My rear end caught air in Pismo like sitting down on a porcupine...

    OK, so what's the next step? I'd rather not spend a fortune, but it's pretty brutal even fully loaded. My moto and camping gear bounces! :eek: I've already settled on some Icon hydro bumps in the rear, but that won't help the stiffness.

    Icon bumps aren't going to help much with the load...airbags would...I would go spring under lol

    I'd love to - I have an apartment downtown with street parking. I have to pay to play :annoyed: and can't do the work here. I'm used to rock crawling junk - not this prerunner go-fast junk. :D

    Also - anybody know someone who can box my frame after I straighten it out?
