    I hope my "offroad only" comment isn't misunderstood. My truck is turning into a liability trap by the day.

    Put offroad only stickers on your kits and release yourself of liability. I know its not that easy but there has to be a legal way to protect yourself.

    You should totally start a producing these as well as your bumpers, would be pretty sweet. Great start! Oh are you going out to pismo for the 5th-7th?

    The jumps in the pics were smooth but the jump in this vid was a little ruff

    most of the noise is my tires contacting the wheel wells

    need to adjust valving and ride height
