    Just passed a silver, lifted 2nd gen with topper, sliders and a kayak on the roof rack going north on manchaca south of William canon. Dope truck! I'm the guy in the murdered out BMW slowing down to get a look just before you turned off.

    Edit: also, selling the bimmer. Someone in here has an e9x m3 I think. If so, I may have 2, BMS JB4 stage 2 (one ISO, one not) with Bluetooth adapter for sale shortly. Should work on your m3. Made my e92 much faster and very configurable.

    awesome thanks for all the input guys. looks like texoma comes highly recommended.
    One more thing. Not sure if this idea has been tossed around yet, but what are yalls thoughts on a day or weekend trip to hidden falls?
    its a decent off-raoding site near marble and austin.

    I hear that there's some good off-roading and curbs to flex on at Barton Creek Square Mall, if you're down near South Austin.

    I avoid that place like the plague only because getting in and out of there is a nightmare. 360 and Mopac sucks.

    I flex the shit out of Sam's and Costco, though. Three frozen items and two bags of veggies take up the whole 6' bed!

    Chris is an awesome dude. If he was clickbait, his headline would be "4x4 Shops Hate This Guy - click here to see why."

    Don't be scared, Youtube is your friend, if not @Texoma is right down the road from Hidden Falls.

    You can have the suspension installed in the morning and then flex it that afternoon. :burnrubber:
    And if you tear something up @Texoma can make a trail side call. :smack::itllbuffout:

    That would be ideal but the lift and tools are about 4 hours south of Texoma :(
    I would hate to screw something up down there. i trust no shops in corpus.

    I take it you've been out there before then? I'm in NW Austin, just got a 2016 TRD OR DCSB, been wanting to take it out there. Would stock be fine to go wheelin' up there?
