    Came in here because I was curious what you had done with the front bumper. Was not disappointed! Subbed for sure to a great build.

    Did a thing this weekend.
    IMG_20170917_180500366.jpg
    IMG_20170917_180517935.jpg

    Kings with 700# springs from the guys at @Downsouth Motorsports , and @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc Super Bumps. Big improvement to the front end.

    Note: preserve the holes for the swaybar on any front end work, lots of shit you might want bolts into those holes (like the king remote mounts).

    Thank you to the customer service department at Rigid, I bought that light second hand, and they still honored the warranty.

    Def interesting...how does the tailgate hold up to that much weight? Didn't know you rode!

    Installed this weekend, went on easily, and no issues with the straps.

    Tailgate did fine, most of the weight is held by the ratchet strap going up to the bedside stiffener, and pulling the tires against the tool box.

    I haven't been out on single track in a while, but before The Boy we'd do 10 or 15 miles of single track on a weekend morning most weeks.

    Check out Bryce resort sometime. Its a good spot for folks who don't have much experience in gravity. I might go next weekend or massanutten depending on what is going on.

    I'll take a look. I used to ski downhill, but never did the DH MTB thing. I got hurt enough riding single track :)

    Yea man DH can def tear you up with rocks and trees at speed. With that said though, there is no better rush on a mountain bike. Have you ever done drops or jumps before when trail riding?
