    I had decent luck with lessons at GolfNV on the south side of town. It's all indoor with golf simulators, but works okay. Price was reasonable too.

    Sierra Sage. Mike's wife Chris Mazza is an LPGA pro and a fantastic instructor. Mike is good too, but Chris is very good for beginners to get the fundamentals down

    Still have a brandy-new 3rd gen taco hybrid bumper from Relentless Fab.

    $1k or trade for Jeep JKU sliders/bumpers/stuff

    Nice weekend. We are definitely lucky to have such a variety of trails as close as we do. Trails are nice right now other than the parts that are a bit muddy still.

    And the obligatory lol IFS flex. It'll be spicy towing the trailer through here next weekend.

    Hey all, is there anyone in our area who will rebuild shocks? My second gen TRD Baja front shocks (I think they are similar to the Bilstein 6112s?) started leaking and I put something else on, but I liked those shocks and hate throwing stuff away.

    I didn’t think the 6112s were rebuildable. I also have them on my truck so curious what you find

    Ah bummer, I wasn't sure. I'll try to do some more reading before I reach out to anyone.

    Phil at Liberty Mountain fabrication in Gardnerville is it. If* they can be rebuilt, he's the man to do it.

    Thanks, looks like his site is down but I DMed him on Instagram.

    Awesome that's super helpful, I hit up Bilstein customer service too so we'll see what they say.

    He was kind of a pain to get a hold of at first, but after our initial back and forth he was great.

    Tempting. I wonder how much I could get for my Relentless low pro bumper to subsidize this. :D

    Anyone interested in a High end Mountain bike? Enduro bike. 2022 Pivot Firebird. have 2 full face helmets too and various mtb stuff to go with.

    Not sure If I'll keep or move my 3 ton Daytona jack and a pair of 4 ton? jackstands from HF.

    Won't need that bike for a while since, I'm off to Rhode Island and then Pensacola, Florida sometime soon (Official letter gets to recruiter sometime in the next 8-10 days so technically its not confirmed, but recruiters never seen it happen between unofficial Yes and the letter) Gonna give my shot at OCS and trying to Fly planes. I got bored sitting waiting for my commercial insurance job in AZ to start. Graduated in December then said shit I got time might as well apply. Tested damn well and better than most do first attempt just 2% below the immediate selection score. Got waivers at MEPS for my knees and elbow surgery. And got accepted for Naval Aviator. Thanks to @kairo for the letter of rec I submitted with my packet. I've only done the easy part so far, but I've been told to remember someone dumber and weaker has made it through, so can I.

    @RelentlessFab, ever thought of dipping into fabbing sprinter parts? Going to need some skids, sliders, and bumpers later this year for my next build.
