Nice! How was Lippincott and Saline Valley? Which route did you take once you made the descent? I drove the opposite direction back in February (190 up Saline Valley/South Pass and then up Lippincott to the Racetrack). I heard DV took some major thunderstorm damage all over the park over this summer with lots of road damage.

We made the decent down Lippincott road this time. It (and a lot of other roads) were in bad shape from the storm. It is still traversable, but you are going to need good clearance as there are maybe 3 or 4 more washed out parts. I think it narrowed worse in some spots too.
All that aside we made it down unscathed. Saline valley road was in good shape.

Yeah, that would be hard to pull off, but it would be such an awesome trip. Thanks for the invite.
Got my rack today and have started the prepping. Hopefully i will have it painted and mounted by the end of the weekend. We test fit it with that light bar.....it looks sick! Thanks again with the help on that.
I actually bought both long tube headers and short headers. But since the install of short headers is so much more time consuming and complicated, I never got around to putting them on so they've just been sitting in the box for a looooong time. But now that there's a solution that gives the best of both worlds (low end/high end) I think I'll pick up a set (or try to).
Course...I'm only N/A...:moping:
Thanks for the invite Mike. But that is more than likely going to be family time.
Besides, I'd run out of gas waaaay before you guys
having fun

Mike, just spent almost a 1/2 an hour reading, picture and video gazing and all. This is one fantastic pride and joy you put together. All the time, love, money, definitely shows every bit of it.
I have a partner that runs loads down in your area, and tells me all about them rides he see there.
And I did get a chance to meet up with KKZ at his place to pick up them spindles, did get them welded together, just have to setup a weekend for an install. He is a pretty good kid and a stand up guy.
Just keep up the good work there, and thank you for service, served my time 30 yrs ago.

Thank you sir! :usa2:
I know the spindles are going to do well for you. I work a lot, but you should get in on one of the trips I have put together. We are doing one in December to Death Valley. I am sure you will have a lot of fun if you can make it.
