    We definitely want to do the Whipsaw trail in BC. It is fairly close to the Wa border. Then after that we will head east towards the Canadian Rockies and go through Crowsnest Pass and into Alberta. That area is reputed to have quite a few trails. We are currently investigating that aspect so no real details yet. From there we head back to the US, reenter just east of Glacier NP in MT so we can check it out before heading home.

    On an normal life note:

    Got hired for an audio gig this Sunday. And a trumpet gig for Easter. Played great at the jazz concert on Monday. Suprised a lot of people at the concert apparently. Didn't know it was me playing lead.

    Have an orchestra gig this Sunday too and lots of symphony too.

    And doing tutoring

    Staying busy :cool:

    Sounds awesome Mike! I'd really like to see some of Canada. Never been out of the country and would be an awesome experience with some Yota Bros :D hopefully I can work it out.

    And 'grats Monte! That's awesome dude.

    I didn't really look any further. I applied to a position in Pocatello, and a few other places nearby. I'll see how those play out before I start reaching out further geographically. My wife already has a job so it would be nice if she didn't have to try to find another job or us live apart for a while...

    Yeah I thought that would be cool, but I don't think I want to be in the Southwest Corner there... Too close to Utah...
    Thanks!

    Gage is making the right suggestion Jeff! I want some SR8's so bad. If I made the jump to 35's i'd get real 35's and the sr8 17" wheels

    Oh hellllllll no!

    Have too many fun things planned to stay here. Gotta build new rear suspension for Frank, new bed rack setup and finish the front. All new suspension for Igor, seriously needs it, getting scary to drive..then all the offroading! And hopefully lockers...:eek:


    Me too...except 37s..

    Should be too bad. I have the bed rack designed. For the most part. Should be super slick. Can't decide on how to make the roof rack work though...may take it off for now :eek:

    Rear suspension will be a project mostly because I want to box the frame too. Other then that. Have a great idea for the shocks. And the axle will need cleaned...haven't decided on if I want to truss it while I'm at it.

    Front is just welding gussets...many gussets haha hopefully hydros too.

    Idk if I get lockers this summer..just so expensive..Id like at least one. But we will see. The reworking of Frank as it is will be pricey with shocks and bumps and metal.

    Never enough time..

    Igor will be easy. Have everything but rear shocks. And have to rebuild the coil overs. Reminds me, need to look up how to build a spring compressor.
