    Add a little preload in the rear/remove from front? Spring perches are adjustable on those, aren't they?

    I think that after you add a cooler of ice, some soda, bitters, oranges, sugar cubes and some brandy it will sit just fine. :cheers:

    I'm sorry. The answer we were looking for is "full steel bumper." Thanks for playing! :D


    Yes, the fronts can be adjusted. But, I really don't want to take them off again. Pkus, I'm really trying to rationalize a Coastal front bumper.

    That's going to bring the rear down even more, though. I'm trying to keep some rake.

    Sounds like a new bumper is definitely the solution. Taking them off again is way too much work.

    I'm sorry, what I ment to say was after you get a new bumper it will sit perfect with the items I mentioned.

    I appreciate you endorsing the idea! I'm really liking the Coastal DIY setup. I just need to get all this stuff together and bring it up to Bayfield so Pat can teach me how to weld.:D

    We scared up a changing eagle on the trail yesterday. Very cool.
    Very confusing sight at 1st, trying to figure out what it was.
    I had never seen one before.

    Looked very similar to this....

    Between 1.5 and 2.5.
    Thought it was a snowy owl until I saw its head. Then considered a falcon but was like, That's too big to be a falcon.

    The last few years, I'm seeing quite a few mature Eagles in the area. Just since early Oct, I've had one fly along side of me, came upon one sitting on a rabbit in a ditch (just glared at me as I slowly drove by) and saw two others standing in a field. They are impressive.

    So. Many. Stickers.
    Went through with fellas in the dealership garage. Watched a lube guy tell us that were wrong, then have his glove shredded on the bench grinder.

    Amen.

    Got fired from a job when I was 18 because I was making cuts on the table saw and this punk tried to prank/scare me. I hit him over the hard hat with a 2x4. No damage, except both of us had to clean out our lockers lol.

    Yuuuup. Aunts previous bf was like that. I refused to ever do clear cutting or brush hogging with him. He called me a pansy. Idgaf. I do enough trees with work to know it's not something to mess around with.
