    I could imagine...

    Still, plenty of places to wheel in SoCal. Lots I haven't even hit yet.

    I've got Hungry Valley(all routes), Rowher Flats, Last Chance Canyon, John Bull, Cleghorn, Pilot Rock rock Truck Trail, and now Odessa all under my belt...

    But still really wanting more of Calico, Dishpan Springs, Gold mountain, Miller Jeep Trail, Rubicon, a few more canyons in the El Paso mountain ranges like Mesquite canyon... Probably lots more, but that's the asap list...

    Dusy Ershim is #1 on my list for next year. The Shaver Lake area has some awesome trails.

    It took me way longer than it should have to get what you were saying here, lol.

    Approaching six to midnight, probably going to be stuck at full attention and require hospitalization after the test drive.

    Dusy Ershim is closed - might be closed for a while, they had major flood damages in that area this year. Stoddard Wells has some cool trails to hit - Achy Breaky, Pumpkin Eater...Johnson Valley has more than just the Hammers, there are some easy mine exploring trails, plus the cougar buttes area - there's an event Oct 13-15 called fun in the desert, I might go if I have time to fix my water pump. Panamint Valley days in November...

    It's been an hour, you should be done by now! Or did you drive yourself straight to the hospital?

    Haha just got back from the test drive, I'm a happy camper...nothing fell off the truck and it drives like its on a cloud (the front end anyway)...now I need to do something about my crap rear suspension lol.

    It was as bolt on as it gets, didn't have any trouble at all really...not even so much as a stuck bolt. Everything just slid into place and tightened down. Front end is even a bit higher than it was on the 881s/5100s so I don't even think I'm going to have to mess with the preload unless it settles a bit lower

    Awesome man!
    If you tow or haul any weight look into the OME Dakars.
    If you want flex and a comfortable ride look into the All Pro standard leaf springs.
    Also the BAMF shock relocation :drool:

    That's lucky :thumbsup: Installs rarely go that smoothly haha

    For real, I had a hell of a time getting the drain plug on my transmission loose a couple days ago, the bolts on my suspension were a cake walk compared to that lol.
