    Almost zero wind noise with the Prinsu. It was that way until I added the curved light bar. After a few configurations I made the curved lexan wind deflector and it's back to being quiet. It can get some wind noise from a side load but it's not bad. I'm picky about rouge noises. There are no squeaks or rattles.

    I get lots of nice compliments from strangers on it.

    Bonus: the deflector is higher than the lights so it helps when hauling stuff too.

    TBU, Lower Ball Joints, CVJ's(coming soon), front and rear diff fluid and t-case fluid. Have a trans at my moms house that needs to go in.

    It also comes down the only place I can wrench at my place is a busy street, no thank you. Hoping I'm six months out from a garage. Hoping to hear back from realtor soon on that.

    I don't envy your market that is for sure. Read an I,treating article that poncha springs is growing super fast right now. Wouldn't be an awful commute.

    Every time we find something, something comes up. Doesn't help there is one house and 3 condos(repurposed apartments) for sale in our range.

    The place in Poncha we really liked looks like it's out of our reach now.

    Got a couple things.

    1 @dtaco06 i talked to Zach today and he said that he's on top of 4Runner racks and has a 4 week lead time again. So your should probably be done soon. I'm ordering one soon for my rig.

    My 3/4 frontrunner will be for sale.

    Also for sale are my old superflexes if anybody wants

    75 bucks

    Just a random pic of a friends runner I was posting in another thread, and figured I might as well throw it in here too.

    Yep! I think it looks sick! Totally worth 2 holes in the roof

    I'm tired of the tent holding up the whole thing.

    Looks like I am going to buy the house I am in now. My landlord is being really reasonable about the price which is nice.


    The end of the route doesn't look like the most direct. Finishing in telluride is limiting. Maybe imogene or ophir after black bear...

    Also look at stony pass.

    I'll check Stoney. Wanted to end on Black Bear since it's the harder and I have two stock vehicles going with me. Might hit Last dollar road after black Bear and head North.

    That's awesome. It will be nice to have your own place. I guess our search continues for a place.

    Soubds like you have everything figured out. Which stock vehicles are you trying to get down black bear?

    4 garage stalls will be nice :)
