    After a little compression and rebound adjustments I got the truck feeling pretty damn nice. The rear cycles so cleanly:drool: love the new stance too

    A) He was assembling his new intake and it was uncovered for the hour he was building it when I snapped the pic. It's an off road race truck, parked in his shop is the least of his dust worries.

    B) The truck IS supported by a jack stand located out of sight behind the tire he was mounting. Also, my lower control arms are completely different than the jank stock lower control arms. It is quite safe/ routine to jack up my truck from the lower arm like in this picture.

    C) Thanks for the safety tips grandpa, we have no idea what we are doing. Silly us

    I wish! Too busy with work and finishing this truck. I plan on making these meets eventually haha
    Duuude I know. I wanna get bumps before I take it out too hard but I wanna go to lucerne when Brian heals @blang

    Shuteye was super rad, a lot of high speed logging roads with water bars to fly off of. A little bit of crawling and a little bit of snow. 4wd and high clearance required for sure haha
