    If u buy the seal kits, oil, and the hypodermic needle to charge them (fucking icon), I'll do it for beer.

    Walker Evans eh? I've never touched them before. Let me qualify....
    Are the 2.0's or 2.5's?
    Do they have remote resi or are they emulsion?

    I'm sure we could probably figure it out. Internals don't really change that much between shock to shock. Just depends if they need a special tool to remove the seal cap or not.

    Sounds good.

    This goes for all the Reno and surrounding bro's. If you guys need shock help, I don't mind helping. I've got a nitrogen setup and an Internet expert. I mostly only know King and Fox, but shocks are shocks. Sam is a really good guy, met and talked with him many times, but he definitely focuses on the big boys. I'm sure he will take care of you though.

    Here is my buddies ranger that Sam built. Kind of a crossover SAS prerunner. Apparently you can polish a turd

    Yeah. My buddy Nick lives in incline village, but he's been in stuck in San Jose for work. Without going into too many details, Nick has a lot of money in that truck, so he's been storing it at Sam's shop.

    I'm sure I'll be using your services in the future!
    Also, if you, or other Reno guys need a shop for a day, I've got a semi-truck shop just down the street from Eric, with just about every tool you'd need. (Except for a welder! though that should be coming in a couple months). I too accept beer as compensation. :D
