    well. Swap the whole rear with the one in my backyard or do axle seals… my third member is shot so I’m leaning towards swapping.

    I'll never understand the tax return mentality. Ultimately, the goal should be to get nothing back. When you give the government more money, you are giving them an interest free loan all year. If you can swing it, you are better off paying $0 in taxes all year and putting that money into an account. Even a shitty checking account will yield interest. Then you pay full amount when the time comes while keeping any interest gains.

    If that's too risky, aim for $0 return (or paying a few or few hundred). I am never fine with lending the government money for zero return...

    There was a Senior walking her FOO FOO dog on a leash on a trail near the MHP here in San Luis Obispo and the Dog got clutched my a Mountain Lion. They found the leash but not the FOO FOO. Probably shouldn't have named it "Cupcake" . Now the Nature Fakers want F&G to track and kill the Lion.

    People are just Oblivious to Reality. :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

    Found two bottles of unopened yellow/orange coolant with punctured bottles on the trails running this evening.

    Picture me holding them at a light jog at night bringing them back to my truck. Now I smell like coolant. But better than a bunch of animals sipping on it I guess.

    Some NIMBYs at work were talking about how scary it was to have a mountain lion come into their neighborhood and wanted "someone to do something about it" while at the same time talking about how sad it would be to trap it or hunt it.

    Like U just gonna find a giant mouse to lure it into the woods with?

    A friend of mine would go on some pretty gnarly Total Chaos trips with us and I was truly impressed. The only thing he had was TC upper control arms and some AirBumps. Along with some quality shocks. The ride was really nice com

    Actually they plan to hunt it? and drug it to move it out of the area. The CA Nature Fakers would never stand for killing it. They all lost their sanity when they voted out the ability to harvest them. They think the forest is a ZOO...:angrygirl:

    If it had killed a human them I'm sure they would have to kill it.

    P S It will be back in 3 Days.

    I thought I had posted this so forgive me if it's a duplicate.

    One of our friends in the TC group has a Sequoia ( not sure what year) and has come along on many trips. He has TC upper control arms and Air Bumps but does very well, Even along side LT Trucks. It is way quieter and handles most stuff only a little slower. It's also his daily I think. :burnrubber:
