Jayson, meant to ask earlier - did you get the TF 4" lift installed this past weekend? If so, where's the pics?

Also, did you repair the steering box or install those Superior chromoly rear axles yet?

All of the above, installed mine on sat and installed Dennis's lift on sunday. I will have some pics soon. I would really like to try it out just to much going on at this time.
I really want to go back to Mountainside.

Wow, that's a lot of work.
Look forward to the pics . . . even if they're only poser shots.

Mountainside sounds good - just need for the weather to settle back down (i.e., no rain just prior to or on the day of the ride).

There is supposed to be a Windrock ride at the end of the month that a group from up North are doing - anyone over in your neck of the woods planning to attend?

Is "The Trend" your new handle now?

You have been blazing the trail with respect to these recent lift and tire choices - next step is for you to be the trail canary on a nice level 4 or 5 trail that none of us has tried yet.

Is there thread about the ride? I'll ask around to see if anyone is interested.
Is it as good as Mountainside?

Denny, have you done any upgrades to strengthen your axles yet or regeared?

I didn't know Dennis was a figure skater.

axel (n.) - A jump in figure skating that is initiated from the outer forward edge of one skate, followed by one and one-half midair turns and a return to the outer backward edge of the other skate.
