Are you kidding me! That is definitely poor business to say the least. Is he at least going to overnight the correct springs free of charge and refund your money for the wrong ones?
Is your only reason for not coming because of the original springs being too high? Is there anything in the rear you coud do to compensate for the extra height temporarily? Man that sucks!

Dude, I know how you feel. My rig isn't up to par yet (found more issues since Mosquito Pass). So, I'm just sitting at home wondering, "Hmmm, it would've been fun..."

It's fixed...that stupid stabalizer only bent one other bar on the steering, i was able to replace both at the yotayard for 65 bucks. Unfortunetly, i still missed out on some excellent wheeling, and beer drinking, so it feels like a pretty hollow victory...I am glad that it decided to come out when i was making a slow Uturn, and i only bumped into the sidewalk....I'm only needing an alignment.

I am so pissed! I was in Buena Vista ALLLLLLL WEEEKEND. I drove by the Chalk creek campground atleast four times.

I also did Hancock pass on Saturday...looks like you did it Sunday. Course, I was on ATV's and didn't have my Tacoma with me. I saw a line of you guys pass by my window Saturday morning...going up towards Hancock Lake/Tomichi Pass/Saint Marys mine.

The ride was great! Jim let me ride along, and I finally got to meet everyone I've been talking to for quite some time. I enjoyed it!
