Not for me thanks.

Glad to see you made it back in one piece.

Its a bear , where would you go? It can out run and out climb you. Hiking in bear country without a hand cannon. Some of the Fla boys are just as bad to me , Going in canals or ponds after a 12 or 14 foot gator with a rope..

 

If Im about to be eaten , guess the feds will have to talk to Mr.ESQ..

 

It recently became legal to carry a handgun year round in the Apalachicola national forest....with a conceal carry permit. Lately I've seen more bears than deer. Like river rat said, can't outrun or out climb 'em.

 

firing a gun in a Federal Park is A-OK... silly National parks.

In NJ's case we can fire guns in our state park for hunting, but not for protection.

 

Protection to me is a god given right. Not a law breaker , But I will protect myself.

 

I got a question for you since you know the most about suspensions...

I have had a clunk and a rattle for a while now on the driver side. So I finally get annoyed and check it out. Rocking the truck back and forth, every time I bring it toward me and compress the driver side, the top of the shock comes up through the hole, and make the rubber bushing and washer loose. Top nut is completely tight... Anything you know that would cause this? Normal? Am I just going nuts?

 

OE suspension?

The top nut and shock move vertically past the shock bucket's top when compressed?

 

Ironman. It extends fine, but when it compresses I can see the shaft coming through the bucket. The 3 bolts are secured still... I'll get a picture later.

 

Yea that's fubar if it's what I think it is, but I have never seen their set up so a pic would be great.

 

Never leaked out... but I was guessing it was the shock. No uneven wear or anything on the tires either. My whole front suspension needs a serious over haul that I don't have the money for!

Should be getting new uppers from Troy (sold his truck), so set there.

 

I fear it's not the shock internals but the top hat that may be cracked... like I said though Ive never seen their suspension before so just guessing for now until you post some pics. .

 

Top hat is the stock one... I should have said that part. I guess I will be pulling it off the truck on Labor day weekend. Erica has a friend in town that weekend so I can knock out a bunch of stuff. I'll be asking around my people here to see who has stock leftovers I guess.
