Went to Kantishna in the back of Denali Nathional Park this weekend, was cool to go where few do... several river crossings and tight trails. Looking forward to getting my new suspension and tires on and just moved skid plates up a notch on the shopping list.








 
Spent 3 hours washing my truck Friday afternoon.
Just to end up in the desert Sunday scouting some new spots with my brother. Just took our handguns since I'm waiting on new glass for my rifles.

Finally for the suspension installed. Bilstein 6112/5160 @7th notch on both sides. Wheelers T13 in the rear. Sorry didn't take before after measurements. Luckily no KDSS lean. Ratchet straps are your best friend. KDSS is a pain.

Why did you go with the 7th notch? Are you adding a metal bumper down the road? I'm ordering mine soon and was going with the 3rd notch, but yours looks perfect.

I also have KDSS any help is much appreciated
 
On the way to get estimates for repair. Drunk fool backed into it in a parking lot. A sheriff was in the lot when it happened other wise the guy probably would have split... unbelievably the sheriff did nothing, just told me to get his info and then he took off. I guess his shift was ending and he didn't want to deal with paper work.

I wanted the full 2.5" lift and it was paired with Wheelers T13, a 1.5" lift spring for the rear.
My first thought when I saw it finally complete was "dang it's kinda high. (then after a few beers and some settling) dang this isn't high enough. haha
Honestly though the 2.5" isn't that bad at all. You can't really tell until you either drive up next to a stock 4R.

I might get the C4 slim hybrid but thats way later down the road and probably upgrade to Kings or Icons

*buy ratchet straps to bring in the sway bar to the LCA. make sure to keep the KDSS piston either strapped up or supported. There's a thread here that helps with the install. read from beginning to end including all of everyone's input. it really helps a lot.

good luck!

that sucks. I was T-Boned in my acura. The guy was driving on the wrong side of the road when I was turning left. Cops showed up and didn't do sh*t either. i asked for a police report and cite him but they said if i'm not going to the hospital then theyre not going to do anything. not even write the guy a ticket. dumb. *most* LAPD officers are useless. i love my city but i hate the "public servants" lol
 
A few weeks back went to Big Sur and tried to explore the area but failed lol It was a fishing trip at any rate but looking at going back soon. Took some amazing drone footage of Big Sur as well as some whales feeding 3 miles from the road :)

A little footage from the trip

Wow, you've dealt with a lot of cops if you know "most" LA cops are useless, seeing as there are 10,000+ of them. ��

hey hey hey. I used quotation marks lol. But LA cops are A-Holes. another instance, I was riding my bike (im a cyclist in full gear not a stupid fixie kid) and I was coming down a hill and I see a cop at a light and I had a green and I had plenty of time to make the light. This A-Hole cop pulls right in front of me and I eat it on his car. luckily my bike wasnt damaged. the next thing he said to me was get up and get out of the street.

it's the bad ones that just ruin it for everyone. i know not all of them are useless or aholes but they sure act like it and the majority forget that they've taken a position to serve the public not the other way around.
