    On I15? Yeah, that always sucks in the winter. Doesn't get enough traffic

    Yup. I saw maybe 50 cars/trucks the entire drive till I hit Dillon. The roads were completely white and had to use the rumble strips to stay in between the lanes. Once I left Montana it was 90mph the entire way home.

    Anyone know details about the snow bash in Kalispbell a couple of weeks away? For those of you who have gone before, does registration happen both the night before and the day of the event?

    Hey everyone, I got my Tacoma back in June and it is finally time to upgrade my suspension. I'm going 5100's all around and OME 887's with an AAL. I went into Dark Horse customs in Four Corners and got an estimate for ~$650. They seem like great guys, has anyone had experience with them? I am also open to other suggestions, I'm not too familiar with the shops in the Bozeman area. Thanks and I hope to meet up with some of you in the future!

    @Kyitty

    If you've already got the parts and are just looking for someone to install everything try Mills Repair in Belgrade. Old school place but really good guys. Reasonable prices too. They're my go to for the big repairs

    Dark Horse did my super charger. So far so good. Compared to other people here seems like I paid a bit more for labor. Right up there with folks from Cali. I would think other shops might give you a more reasonable price. But then again we’re talking Bozangeles.

    The guys at Dark Horse have been good to me over the last couple years. My only real issue has been a repetitive issue with differential work (it's a really long story).

    Other than that they've been awesome and always stood behind what they've done for me. Easy to get along with their staff too. If you're planning to do any Off-Road stuff you might consider joining the 406 Cruisers group. One, because we're awesome. Two, because Dark Horse gives our members a labor discount. :)

    Dark Horse installed my Old Man Emu stuff (886 coils, Nitrosport Shocks, dakar leaf pack, etc). They're getting somewhat familiar with Tacos. They've had a couple/few 3rd Gens in for some upgrades.

    Took my pup to the local dog park this afternoon around 1pm. Cold outside so I hoped there'd be very few people there. I was wrong.

    Were at least a dozen vehicles (I've never seen more than 4 at a time). My pup doesn't mind/listen when other dogs are around. She doesn't socialize enough and needs more training. So, I took her into a fenced off area that's segregated from the masses so she can run around and not actually be able to run off with other people's dogs. Unbeknownst to me (it's a fairly big area) there was another person with two small dogs in there. So I moved my dog far away from where they were obviously heading. Well that lady realized I was there and thought she'd come say hello I guess. As they neared I grabbed and leashed my dog before she realized this woman and her dogs were coming. Thankfully the woman realized what I was doing and immediately turned around. Frustrating though because I lead my dog into a giant pit and moved as far from this woman as I could in the first place.

    Minutes later four nordic skiiers show up coming into this fenced dog area! Seriously? In a dog park?? So now I'm leashing my dog again so she won't chase after these skiiers.

    Who goes skiing in a designated DOG PARK?!

    I finally had to just leave. There are several fenced areas in this dog park so you can segregate your dog if you need/want. Couldn't get any privacy.

    Thanks for the info! I'll go talk around and get some pricing then make my decision! I'll also look into the 406 Cruisers group, sounds awesome!

    Is that including alignment? Dark horse is good and does nice work. Another option is Diesel Pros. Good folks. Talk to Wes.
