    It was near Logan and Oxford. My neighbor isn't the most computer literate, so I posted on Nextdoor for him as well. Someone local saw something. :)

    Working on my trailer. Got the leaf springs on, but I think the ride hight on 31's might be a little too high.... I'm hoping once everything is weighted down it'll be at a better ride hight.

    Don’t base ride height off of 50 lbs of steel frame and some sheet metal fenders...

    Yeah I'm counting on the springs sagging once it's done. I can make the shackles shorter if I need to.

    Yo do you remember if decrease preasure on the proportioning valve adds more presaure to the front? increase to the rear? Googling it but I want to double check with you

    Opening the valve sends more pressure to the rear. Front is unaffected either way.

    Ok, I got ya. I misunderstood what I read. I just need to allow more preasure to the front so I'll close it just a bit. Thanks.

    Great way to end the year.

    8.6 miles, 2200ft elevation, half in snowshoes and snow up to waist deep. Just under 12k ft elevation. Only saw one other person at the trailhead for a minute or so.

    All my leg parts that I didn't know I had.. are sore.

    Currently looking up a dog pack so I can slow him down and he can carry his own food. Maybe even sneak some of mine in there.

    @Star-Lord im assuming this is where the spring hooks to since I didn’t see it come off. It just fell off when I pulled the shoes. I’ve never done this before.

    I think 50ish pounds. The mountain hardware one i was looking at I'm guessing he would use a medium.

    Fucking shit! I have that adjuster facing the wrong way. The small peg in the adjuster is suppose to go into the hole of the adjuster lock bracket ( I think that's what it's called) . I'll take it all apart tomorrow and do it again. Thanks for the link thought I wouldn't have cought it if I didn't see yours. Leason learned :D

    Hmmm, snow shoes... waist deep snow... I believe you need a bigger set of snow shoes or you’re doing it wrong. :D
