the specific place we were in is located in Lago Vista. There is a golf course there and beaches, but you must be part of the POA in order to gain access to them where we were. I think you can get to other places, but no to sure. My wife is from there so that's about all I know.

I was able to get my Cobra CB installed last weekend. Ill get pics ASAP. I mounted the hand set on the right side of the trans tunnel close to the passengers floor board. I then mounted the receiver box in the glove box, ran the wires through the dash, into the plastic trim, up into the role bar cover, down the back side, out the end and plugged into the window mounted box.

SUPER CLEAN! Just don't know how to properly use the CB yet...I have some reading to do.

It's been a while sense my last post, and the only real addition that has been made was a Trek top.

But, cyber Monday came along and decided to make a significant purchase. PR44 is headed to our door step and the RCVs showed up a little early. More to come!

Received the PR44u in and got everything installed. Was a bit of a but whoopin but got everything in. Was surprised to see that there was such a gap between the Orange CV boot and the housing edge. I was under the impression that the Orange boot sealed the tube from outside elements in addition to protecting the CV joint.

Well! I had been a while from my last post on my build, but wanted to give an update.

We made a serious trip out west middle of may, did 6000 miles...that of which included the Rubicon Trail, Avenue of the Giants, HWY 1, San Diego Pier, Yosemite, San Fran, Glamis, Moab, and SW Colorado. It was absolutely amazing!!!

Wanting to step up to coilovers in the future and hit the Rubicon again!!!

Would also love some beadlocks for insurance too.

But, we did add a stablemate to "Blue"...and we call her "Smoke"
