    Yeah I bet, I know he'll use it off road but he just needs to gain experience then he'll be good.

    1/2" body lift time. Clearancing (that's not a word..) that pinch weld was a pain in the ass for me, and still didn't work lol...

    I'm considering doing that even though I HATE body lifts.

    But, I'd only need about 1/4" of body lift so I don't think it would be noticeable. And I could probably accomplish it with just a couple thick washers on each body bolt.

    Found a better solution. If you install the Energy Suspension polyurethane cab mounts with the two pieces flipped (thin one on the bottom, thicker one on top), it gives you a small body lift. Win.

    Any of you guys ever used r134a with the UV dye for finding leaks in A/C systems? My car appears to have a leak in the low pressure side so thinking of charging it back up with a can of that stuff and seeing. The high side still had a charge but the low pressure read zero.

    Up near Baker exploring with my buddy. Came across a few trails that were hogged out and forced me to air down, take out that trailer hitch and wail on the Detroit. Shit was fun.:turtleride:
    A good day to explore.

    I'm going to be near Spokane this weekend (Diamond Lake area, about 45 minutes north of the city). Anyone know of any good off roading in that area? I looked around online a bit and haven't found much.

    On the jeep trail or N.F.S website they have some trails listed, might be worth it to check them out.

    been in Idaho for the last few days. That's the long bridge down there. Forest road is gated but my aunt and uncles property has a road that connects to it. Lots of deer and elk and moose. Neighbors just saw a cat.

    Are floor mats a mod?
    Take pics at surprise. I wanna see what that trail does to a stock truck. #jimhateshisrockerpanels
    This is about 1/2 way up, high centered and stuck between a rock and a big boulder on the other side

    I was able to sneak around that, but it is rutted out. A typical yota/jeeps on 35s roll that trail recently. Fyi

    Anyone have a recommendation on where to go for prescription glasses and sunglasses? I usually goto Costco.

    Meet at my house (southwest of diamond lake about 20-25 minutes) and drink beer with me. We could hit 7 mile ORV park, but that is best suited to dirt scooters.

    Is that the bridge going south out of Sandpoint?
