    I was about to ask you the same thing!!! I haven't seen CrnCnn around lately either. The VX is back at Tires Pls this morning getting aligned with the stock wheels, then I have to throw the Dunes back on(30 minutes). After that I'm good to meet up anytime. I'm thinking Big Pig BBQ, but wherever is fine. During the week I have all day, everyday since I work very early in the morning. I am almost thinking of dropping it down a little because at the present height, I think the wheel well clearance is a little big, but the only plus side is that I have had trim barely any cladding at all, maybe around 1/8 of an inch because it rubbed when I was turning and going up a curb.

    Looks great! Did you change out the shocks as well? If so to what?
    No shock changes, which on the rear I am slightly worried about. I am going to try and fab up some aluminum extensions for the rears, and some steel post extensions on the fronts. I had purchased some front post extensions, but they were the wrong thread pitch. I ahven't been able to find any of the correct pitch yet. I like the stock shocks, and I think there was a post I read awhile back about a way to rebuild them, or a shop that could, so I may look into that when the time comes.
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    I am here fellas,

    Been workin a LOT. I found a road that takes you from the VC highlands all the way to Lockwood. I don’t know how bad the road is the whole way, I only went about 2 miles and felt that I should turn around cause my cell didn’t work and i was all alone. Being inexperienced in off roading i felt uncomfortable.
