    No need, it's your 1st Amendment right, use it while you can! Soon enough a group might get together and spend a huge pile of cash to take it away from you for harming someone's feelings.

    I understand emotions run high with these subjects, as they should. We are commenting on our rights of freedom that this country was built on! My attitude is in no way negative towards you and other gun haters, I respect your opinions even though I feel they are mis guided. This smartass banter is just that, banter. We both know that neither is going to change opinions here and my smartass comment was half hearted knowing that. I'm firm on my beliefs, but don't push or intend any ager in what I type here, it's not the place for that. Just wanted to put that out there for whatever it's worth, none of my comments here are made with a negative tone, but that's not always how it appears in type. Party on all.

    I actually don't hate guns - I almost bought a M&P Shield 9mm not too long ago. I'm not trying to anger anyone either, just add a different view and play "the devil's advocate" every now and again. I 100% knew I was asking for a :crapstorm: - I was not disappointed.

    Thank you.

    I was going to say two things, but it looks like I'm late:

    If you are keeping your current setup in the rear, you should have bought the deaver setup that was posted in the CL thread. The guy was selling them for half the price of new, and he had them set up nice. The only reason he is getting rid of them is because he is going to a HC rear and swingout with a possible RTT, so he is getting AP expos. He said that his research pointed to them being better over the dakars.

    Interested :D I think I'm open for everything but Thanksgiving and the weekend of the 13th

    I think I'm done with Firestone. They said my inner tie rod is bent. So far I'm not seeing the symptoms, but I already bought the part and I'm going to inspect/replace it tomorrow.
    However, I can't believe they missed this or didn't say anything. Is there a recommendation on replacement cam tabs or are they all pretty much the same between DSM, TC, whatever?

    The truck drives weird as shit so I've parked it since Tuesday.

    Whats so bad about them? Never heard any bad experiences with that company, I know that a new owner or someone bought them out and improved their site and all.



    Well just got back not to long ago from Darrington. JDAM and I went about 15-17 miles back on the road before it came to an end. Ill get some pictures up in a few

    Met up at my house around 10ish this morning. As i was loading up the FedEx man delivered my weather tech floor mats (talk about good timing). Got up to Darrington about 11:30 after slow traffic and hit the forest service roads. Great views almost immediately.

    I was a little late in getting this one but oh well

    DSC_0018_c7ae558cc08a513fd650f1eb10bcfd3e2b2b335c.jpg

    There had to be about 20+ smoldering piles from the loggers of scrap wood.

    Took a short break

    This was after I had already cut it

    Hooked JDAM's winch up to the snatch block around the tree and then to the down tree, pulled it off the road to the right side.

    Definitely going back in the next weekends, so many more roads to go on. May not be trails but these are still a bit fun too. By the time we got back to the main road it was getting dark, we decided to take the mountain loop highway back home. Pulled off about halfway through by the river and cooked up some brots in the pitch dark, still a great time though :D

    It's all good. Just knew way too many people burnt by them to ever steer anyone to them. They look good, and you are happy with them. I'm just glad you got them delivered to you.

    Looks like a fun trip, couldn't have picked a better day for the recent weather! The trucks look great guys, I really need to get mine back on the road again.
